COVID and the housing market

If the smells of cooking meat really turn some people off, and the smells travel throughout the house, then it makes sense. Kind of like my house, my rules.

When we were doing our house reno's and had to move out for several months, we did a short term rental at a place near Dufferin and Bloor. The owner would only rent to vegetarians or vegan's, because he was vegan and didn't want his cooking utensils and pots/pans to be used with cooking meat. He had pretty strict beliefs about how all animals and living creatures should be treated. We were fine with that and signed a several month lease with him. However...
This place was overrun with coakroaches of many types and sizes in all the different rooms. We were super ****** that he knew about them and didn't tell us until after we moved in and had to discover them for ourselves. First he said there were one or two he had seen in the past and then a few days later we discovered it was a full blown infestation he was trying to avoid because he didn't want to fumigate the house with chemicals. We told him if he didn't get a pest control company out there we would do it ourselves to sterilize all our things and the house and charge him for it and move out. And we did exactly that. But since he screwed us with his lack of honesty, we ended up living in 7 different places over 7 months.

Ewwww.
 
Few years ago saw an ad for a rental place:

‘only young female asians need apply’

I always wondered what type of person would put that up….either a terrified old Asian lady….or a perv.

Cheap rent, opportunity to participate in household MLM venture? As with most MLM, leave out that they are the bottom rung so they do all the work and make no money.

Very possible. Never thought of that type of advertisement when I was renting places out.

Just prayed I didn’t get skinheads as one time a few shady guys showed up. Wasn’t sure I was going to make it out of the unit alive.

I've seen something similar , but its "females only"
Evidently the landlords would like sexual favors?

Not necessarily. If it’s a sublet/rooms situation I’ve seen females prefer the company of other females.
 
Flyers in my mailbox asking if we want to sell. Lol. I'm sure that happens a fair bit in the GTA but it's relatively recent here in Kingston but property values have shot up. Again, nothing compared to the GTA but median prices in Kingston are now 600K+ and not so long back were half that.
 
Ya we’re seeing these weekly in our mailbox now.

they can’t afford to buy me out lol. Hell I couldn’t afford to buy this place now.

My wife says we should respond and ask for 1.5mill.

If I get 2mil then I can buy a nice back split on the rich side of Credit Woodlands for 2.3 and still have a nice and affordable mortgage. I’m good with that.

spoiler alert…I won’t get 2M

Real estate agents love this kind of talk.

Just like car salespeople love when you want to trade in your 3-year old car for the same model, but current year. ("But honey, we can get a lot for our used vehicle because of COVID")

Just like brokerage services love when you keep jumping in and out of Stonks. ("DIAMOND HANDS, RETARDZZZ!")

Churn, baby, churn!

It was a joke..our house is worth 750k top end probably.
 
Swing and a miss. Decent looking new build listed in May in Penetanguishene for 1.3. They just dropped the price to 980. Neighbour has been listed this whole time at 750 with no sale (it's a 1250 sq ft 2+1 semi though). Obviously they have forgotten where they live.

446 Murray Rd, Penetanguishene.
