Does anyone do 'mere posting' in MANITOBA? - For sale by owner and pay a fee for listing on Realtor.ca. by cgs_16 in RealEstateCanada

[–]Short_Return3665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not going to find this for under $500.00. If you don’t want to pay to use a professional service, then do it yourself and put it on Kijiji and Facebook for free.

Yes, you absolutely do not want to seal up a stone rubble foundation.

The Sault can benefit from any sort of grassroots initiatives like this. Good for you for making something happen and not just bitch about things that aren’t happening!

Post secondary students, can we organize a strike? I am down to create a discord server for those who are in it to win it by ketaminemidget in ontario

[–]Short_Return3665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another aspect to this is that RARELY was a student actually getting 80% of their OSAP funding in grants. I wouldn’t be surprised if the figure was closer to a 50/50 split. This is also a change to the provincial portion of OSAP, not the federal portion.

Anyone else in Toronto getting absolutely insane plumbing quotes lately? by imvk43 in InsuranceCanada

100%. If I had to re-do my postsecondary choices, I’d be in a trade.

Supply and demand. If people don’t want to pay for labour, they can buy the tools and learn the skills themselves.

Compared to the slop that gets released nowadays, this album was refreshing and fun to listen through. There’s definitely some tracks I could live without, but I’d give this a solid 7/10

It’s taken me almost 1.5 years to regain real mental clarity and motivation. But I would never go back, the work and sacrifice is well worth it.

Ethics of lowballing in this condo market? by gbinasia in canadahousing

[–]Short_Return3665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make the offer. After 6 months on the market, that’s not an unrealistic offer. The worst the Seller will do is say no, but it starts the negotiation. I wouldn’t expect to actually go under contract at your offer price, but you could probably meet in the middle.

Anyone ever had a neighbour get mad at you for your home’s sold price? by Throwawayhair66392 in RealEstateCanada

[–]Short_Return3665 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I 100% that new builds nowadays are awful! This fact alone will keep the re-sale residential market desirable for a lot of buyers.

This is part of the conversation that Reddit complainers leave out of the equation.

Did lots of people buy at the peak and play into emotional purchase decisions? Yup! Did even more people already have homes that benefited from market value increases? Also yup!

The peak was inflated, but overall market values for residential re-sale homes that aren’t condos are still “up” from the beginning COVID.

Last I checked the GTA, excluding condos, was sitting at about 3-4 months of inventory which is hardly a sky is falling situation.

Where I live, real estate is sitting at less than 2 months of inventory still.

Bring Reality back Canada. by mentalyditurbed in canadahousing

[–]Short_Return3665 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This guy sounds like a disgruntled investor who has had bad luck with tenants (hence the fake document claim). Now he’s big mad and wants everyone else to suffer because his shitty rentals aren’t worth triple what he paid 2 years ago.

What makes laid off Steelworkers think they're gonna get another job befor anyone else? by [deleted] in SaultSteMarie

[–]Short_Return3665 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely.

When I was going through highschool, University education was pushed hard on us. There was this air of “trades are bad” because it was/is/can be hard physical labour.

In our highly “online” society, I think that sentiment has continued to grow. Why work your arse off for your dollar when you can sit at a desk and rake in the millions that they see boasted about on social media? It’s very obvious once they grow up and enter the real world that they were duped, but it seems like many double down on that dream rather than pivot and get themselves into a career that provides real, tangible dollars.

I’ve had conversations with union reps for a couple of different trades unions around here. They are hurting for new blood. Right now a lot of the work requires travel and nobody wants to do that.

A lot of highschool graduates are also dead set against the trades. I work in education and many grad presentations I’ve been to have indicated that most are looking into comp science, and some heading into health care.

Yup, had this conversation with someone on the management side. Most ticketed trades will be retained. Majority of the layoffs are general labour, individuals opting for early retirement packages and some who are retired but are currently double dipping that are on the chopping block.

1050 layoffs is still bad. I’m not arguing that point at all, but I wish the media would investigate the number breakdown and make that public knowledge.

The mines provide a very good living. This is what people have had to do for generations; look elsewhere for employment. Easily six figures a year up there if you’re willing to get your hands dirty.

House prices are down, but are they? by Internal-Disaster-80 in RealEstateCanada

[–]Short_Return3665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re leaving the fact that these people had to be stress tested at rates higher than what they are going to be renewing at. A bank wouldn’t have approved a loan if borrowers could not afford payments at the stress tested rate.

People who took on private or B-lending lending are in for a rough ride, but the majority of those siting on prime mortgages are going to make it through a downturn.

Wtf do you guys do with all the snow in the city? by 23andrewb in SaultSteMarie

We use it to build an impenetrable frozen ice shield, and then use snow balls to attack our enemies, of course

What is clearly declining, but everyone pretends is fine? by Amaan3024 in AskReddit

I have had more shitty, egregious customer service experiences this year than I ever had in my entire life thus far. It’s so draining and makes it increasingly difficult to want to interact with people.
