one of the biggest decisions you'll ever make based on a 30 minute viewing
place could have a lot of issues you can't see until you move in
and the neighbors could be awful
nothing you can do about the latter

Haha. Each time we look for houses, we normally spend a weekend checking out a bunch and make an offer early the next week. We tell the buying agent that it will be quick and they don't believe us. You can easily get into paralysis by analysis and miss out on something and be chasing something you like better for many months (while the market continues to climb).
EDIT:
FWIW, last time we looked, we had two candidates on the short list. Both close to each other. One lot and house was 30% bigger. The other had a more appealing layout and less traffic nearby. It was about 200K more for the smaller house. For various reasons we picked the smaller house (and was annoyed when I walked into the garage of the house we bought as I had transposed the garages in my head). 200K on the mortgage is a hell of a lot of years of extra payments (you are paying interest on that 200K for more than a decade before you start paying it down so really it is more like 300K difference in real money). Now, less than three years later, the gap has spread to >400K in favour of the smaller house.
Glad to see you get it. Again I’m not saying it’s not possible with hard work and sacrifices but so many seem to think it’s just “kids are lazy these days” or whatever.
It is doable but so much harder now.
I’m in the middle, dual income helped, but it’s getting so much more difficult for the next generation. It seems like for the most part their only hope is inheritance.
A lot of my values were set before lotteries were legal. The Irish Sweepstakes was available only if you knew someone.
If as a kid I commented on a nice car or house my mother told me to have those thinks I had to work hard and save my money. Now the parents tell the kids they have to win a lottery. I think a lot take the advice literally. Few get ahead based on just luck.
Check out this beauty for 300K in an industrial part of Barrie. Only two pics of outside, no pics of inside. It seems very bent, not sure if it is even safe to enter.
Then you have this one, 10 minutes out of barrie. Seems quite reasonable actually. Sold for 485 last week. You even get a Yonge St address for baller status.
1100 sq ft, 3 bed, 2 bath home. Single detached garage, two sheds and 66ft X 396 ft lot
Or this head scratcher. Sold in May 2020 for 190. Relisted in July 2021 for 429. It's got a long-term tenant and they reused the description so it sounds like they did nothing. Finding a house for 190 in 2020 seems like it should have been impossible.

I'd like to see any of the morons running in the election try to justify why earning 1M a year tax-free using the principal residence exemption is a good idea. It just spreads haves and have nots further and faster.

Cheapskates. Wallpaper imported from England and France. Pfft. I worked on one that had silk applied to the walls and the man flew over from Japan and painted it.
GTAM group buy? Apparently the government missed the message that land is bleeping expensive. They are selling off CFB picton. 700 acres with tons of buildings in Prince Edward County for 15M. Three runways in a triangle if you want to give the bikes a workout. Seems like a great deal for someone. 50 tenants should generate a healthy income to pay it down. I don't have access to enough capital.

Hell I’d buy this if I had the capital…..near the cottage, solid business for a good portion of the year….but obviously dead in the winter unless there’s good snowmobiling nearby.
