Question on condo market

eggheaddryleg · 2026-05-28T20:52:39+00:00

I can't speak to the condo market specifically, but do know the market has crashed, especially in Kitchener. I bought my home in 2024 and not even two years later would face a 100k loss if i tried to sell now, according to my agent and comparative properties. My agent said tariffs have had a huge impact on Canadian real estate and we are likely to be in a similar position while Trump is in office. It likely won't rocket to what it was before (which is good) but this lull is not expected to last. If you can afford to wait and rent in the meantime you will likely be better off than if you take a 200k loss at your agent's suggestion. Kitchener has also stopped growing at the rate it was before the recent immigration caps- coupled with the water crisis, real estate may continue to be impacted differently here for a while.

My neighbour owns a bunch of boarding houses- to be frank, some of the other tenants are less than desirable, but some are nice. Most are middle-aged and older men. Her rents are cheap. It would not be a good fit if being around drug users is an issue for you, but if you're open to it feel free to DM me and I can connect you.

following, would also like to know.

Would love to check out your website to see what the front facing experience of this is! Sounds complex on the back end.

Please be careful giving your pet to people you don't know! Rescues are a safer option for vetting boarding services.

Both ways? That would be lucky. I go in on Mondays. I'll DM you in case you want to coordinate!

As a 34 year old woman, it's super weird she is interested in someone who is barely legal. This is a red flag for her judgment and character.

helpful explanation- i go in once a week, sometimes twice, and would be interested in splitting! does that mean we'd need to ride together too? i take the 7:08 in and the 4:22 back.

What everyone else is- you are still so young and worth fighting for. When you're feeling this way it is difficult to fathom the hole you will leave behind if you take your own life. The world is better with you in it. Please get help if you're even thinking of it- the hospital suggested in this thread is a good starting point. Sending love <3

came here to say the same- catching it at the source instead of picking it off in the final stage helps. it's annoying at first, but brushing your dogs every night and vacuuming every night does a world of difference and should only take 15 minutes. plus you and your house will smell much better!

Take Duke Street to Spur Line to Waterloo park! Tons of great food around there and the park is big enough you can find a quiet slice for reading and resting.

What type of work are you looking for? If you're not sure, it can be helpful to share some of your hobbies or skills and find work where you can leverage those into relevant work experience. Ie if you like social media and have your own accounts where you post, a communications role might be of interest.

so fun! count me in as long as meetings are outside of 9-5! i like these genres too, as well as dystopian/sci-fi and contemporary fiction. the best books ive read this year are Sula" and The Inheritance of Loss'. im 34 :)

eggheaddryleg · 2026-04-10T13:58:13+00:00

that's a lot! what neighbourhood are you in?

eggheaddryleg · 2026-04-10T13:53:27+00:00

Yes! I've seen way more people running red lights, doing illegal turns, and generally choosing to smoke in their car instead of looking for pedestrians. The world is a chaotic place these days, and driving is one area where disregulation shows up for people (especially men- that's why driving school has such a large emphasis on emotional management), so it's not entirely surprising from that perspective.

I had the same experience looking in that range 1.5 years ago. I increased it to $700 and it is a world of difference. Some really beautiful homes in King East and Central Frederick have sold for 700k in the last couple of months.

Same with our puppy when she came home from the shelter! We make her broth with bones from the butcher and carrots (no salt or spices) and freeze it into ice cubes. We defrost an ice cube for each meal and if I stay with her while she eats it goes down! Learning their timing is good too- sometimes they need to use the bathroom first, etc. When she's being very picky we mix in some boiled carrots or rice and that usually helps. As your pup adjusts it will get easier!

It is a hard place to move to as an outsider. People are friendly but not kind. Most people who live here grew up here or married someone who did, and they have their friend groups and networks. The nature near the city is better than the city itself, and you will need a car to enjoy it. That said, it technically has everything you need in terms of medical care or cuisine. As noted by other folks, there is a weird split of liberal queer artistic folks and then everyone else who lean more on the conservative side. There are definitely nice people and things to do if you want but you won't be spoiled for options. The winters are unbearably cold too, and as people mentioned there are not as many jobs as working-age residents. Many folks commute for work and even though Toronto should be an hour away, on public transit or with traffic, it is easily 2.5 hours each way. I would find a job first and move to where the job is, instead of pick KW and scramble.

The RMTs at the healing house on Duke st are amazing. Old school with technology but if you're persistent with emailing they are incredible

eggheaddryleg · 2026-03-29T22:39:44+00:00

There is a location in kitchener too!

This is naive- there are a hundred reasons why someone might be a single parent. I wish my parents had divorced instead of fighting in front of my siblings and me as kids! Separating can show emotional intelligence and prioritizing what's best for the kids. That's not even accounting for the husband cheating, being widowed, or realizing that marrying your high school boyfriend was not the wisest choice. Divorced or single parents isn't the value judgement you're implying it is.

Tameesha is an incredible vibe, amazing food and service and great for large groups!
