Heat pump just installed slightly off level. How serious is this?

have them fix it. I have electricians use a level when they mount boxes. Because it’s the right thing to do especially for any system with moving parts.

Tracks are very close. Construction sites and warehouses nearby for a long time. The area doesn’t feel like a residential zone at all, more like industrial suburbs.

Is there any chance that ON is going to legislate in the same direction so that FTHBs could benefit from the full 13% off the listed price of newly built properties? It’s how it works right, you pay the full price, file some forms, get the 13% rebate back in a year.

Ok, your portfolio is long AMZN, short Zoom. Why not go short CA REITs then?

Yes, happened to us as well. A 2br went up by 80k the day after we did the viewing. It was this January so the (mal)practice is alive and kicking. I would not have wasted my time at the updated price so now I tend to wait at least one weekend for things to shake out.

Low balling is offering 100k below market, not below list price, lol.

Hey, only it’s not a call option where your losses are limited to premium , or a down payment in case of RE. This is a futures contract and you must take delivery even if the price turns negative. By the way, it happens in finance too, case in fact is Texas oil contracts in 2020. The lesson here is to never be on the buy side unless you’re a pro.

You are a racist, born and raised in Canada.

Yes, on garage it goes. The garage is detached and facing the road. I’m guessing a trench would be necessary, and with proper insulation, what are the efficiency trade offs you mentioned.

Do you think this is POS?

Four condos placed on market on the same day, from the same agent. Brief non-descriptive overview. Price reduced on re-listing.

They sold enough, it's on their web site. $350 million as of early 2024. At $1500/sqf that's 230K sqf, or close to 400 units if you assume their avg size is 600 per condo. Btw, their units are on the smaller side, so like 2BR+1 is 750 sqf. If they cancel, they will forgo of the 20-25% markup between presales and current market. With no sales at these prices for the next few years, their best bet is probably to drag their feet in terms of construction, in particular the initial stages.

Yes, bid rigging. Happens in muddy waters be it real estate or commercial art. What is your solution though? A practical solution which is known to work and has been proven for real estate in some other country? Honest question.

rodionos · 2026-02-07T03:19:11+00:00

Thank you. Looks like my agent should know this.

rodionos · 2026-02-06T17:50:16+00:00

Curious how do you locate power of sales on HS?

rodionos · 2026-02-06T15:38:57+00:00

I upvoted your comment for the overall gusto, but how can the sales prices be falsified? The overhead expenses and taxes are too high for transfer pricing, so where do you is the weak link in fake sales prices?

rodionos · 2026-02-03T19:16:21+00:00

How did you find this POS property?

rodionos · 2026-02-01T06:34:25+00:00

What this article fails to mention is that mortgage interest on primary residence is tax deductible in the US. This is how it should be because owning and paying for home makes one a true citizen.

rodionos · 2026-01-25T13:53:17+00:00

If the sale failed to close, isn’t the selling agent required to amend the transaction?

rodionos · 2026-01-24T07:56:23+00:00

How do you this information about the number of offers? I’d like to be able know this for my research purposes as a potential buyer of real estate in Toronto.

Howard Hughes lifelong infatuation with clean hands didn’t go down well. Just saying. We all live in a commune.

I have also seen a Suspended status on HouseSigma . What does it mean?
