Interesting to see where this ends up. 24000 sq ft school on 2.7 acres in espanola. Govt is auctioning it off. Currently at 200k with a few days to go.

It’s an outdated building in Espanola . Hot water boiler heat , no insulation ( or asbestos) and 24000 ft of concrete bunker construction. I’m not sure it’s worth much beyond the minimum bid .
Leaking flat roof currently. If you want a new flat roof, that will likely exceed your theoretical purchase price. Also Espanola. It's far (~45 minutes past Sudbury). Easiest use is probably retirement home. May get away with current zoning. If people don't have the money to retire, they might not mind moving further away for an affordable place to live. Life-lease gets you all your money back (and more) up front.

It sounds tempting to convert it to a seniors residence but add the roof to acquisition price, then allow for updating insulation, windows, electrics, plumbing, fire alarms, flooring would easily blow past a couple million. If you could do it for 5 million and sell 30 units at $200 K you could make a million. Competition in Sudbury is condos at $300 K.
Hazardous construction materials would make it harder, asbestos, lead paint etc.
Seniors geared apartments and a senior home with care are totally different.
Detached home prices in Brampton and Mississauga have fallen dramatically since January, wiping out nearly all the gains seen in the frenzied uptick in the second half of 2021.
Wow, subdivision under construction outside of Barrie. They are working on utilities and model homes now. Most houses were sold six months ago or so. Occupancy is probably at least a year out. They now have some MLS listings up. Not sure if these are resales? I suspect the same person bought both and now is trying to dump them as climbing rates are ruining their plan. I highly suspect they were planning on assigning one to make a fortune to pay for the second. BoC ruined their plans.
25x98' lot 1850 sq ft semi ~$1.1M
36x98' lot 2400 sq ft detached ~1.4M.
It's not a hood yet. The model homes are finished. Other than that it is a bunch of dirt with a few framed houses. It will be typical subdivision hell when it's done. I have no idea what the original purchase price was.

I suspect more carnage in areas that have lots of new construction. Building prices fall fast because they need to sell product, hanging on isn't an option. That decreases value of prebuilds. As those prices fall, so fo the value of prebuilds purchased by dumb money in high times. So prebuilds start flooding the market as assignment sales, adding more downward pressure.
Built out areas, Toronto, Pickering, Markham, Thornhill will suffer less as demand will continue to outstrip supply.
Nope , if I’m delivering to your house and back my truck through your front door , that’s your house insurance first . Your ins company may come after my ins company , but it’s yours first .
Make little sense , but that seems to be how it works
That can be tricky. My club requires I keep $2m in personal liability in case my boat boat blows up. If a person can prove another is liable for damages, they have a civil case and may have a claim for damages.
That said, it could take years to settle, the defendant could go bankrupt... the prudent route gor a homeowner is to claim it under their own insurance to get it fixed fast.

Was talking with my cousin a few weeks back and he asked if I would consider returning to Poland for retirement. I hadn’t…as I always assumed I’d want to be around here for the kids and grandkids (if health allows if).
Might not be a bad place to go. Tons of cousins and family for both myself and my wife. Could def make a life there for ourselves.
I have mixed feelings about this. Summers are nice in the north, you have bugs to put up with but you get longer days May thru October, the recreational opportunities are boundless, cultural and sports are TV only. Property prices are a fraction of what you pay in Toronto - Sudbury, North Bay, and Timmins have a reasonable cost of living and have excellent highway and air connections to Toronto or Montreal.
A $2m home in Markham can be had for $500K in one of those cities. The extra $1.5M would be enough for a comfortable retirement including wintering in Florida, Arizona, Mexico or many spots in Central or South America.
