感觉渥城房子价格直升， 且卖的很快！-why?

[PLA]

this may not be true.
The terminated contractor position may not be counted as permanent job position loss, but as long as the very person is actively looking for job, he contributes to the unemployment head counts.

Contractors working for the government, which a lot of people do in Ottawa, do not show on the book when lose jobs. As everyone knows, the government is cutting the budget. Who will go, contractors. When they do not have the jobs, the unemployeement rate do not include them.

上周日去看了几个Open House， 与Realtor聊起卖房的情况，他们（至少三位）认为Town House 还好卖些，而40万以上的房子很难卖。估计与楼上各位分析的原因差不多，有工作的对前途没把握，Down Size的多；刚搬来的，收入未必比以前高，所以先买个TH住着，好在利率低，跟租房的成本差不多。
真要买房，还是看看再说吧，“好饭不怕晚”。

买四十万以上的房子，占多大比例啊。而且这个价格的新房子,将来还要另外课以6%的税（total 13%)。

多数人，还是买三十五万以下的房子。

根据安省的预算和施行ＨＳＴ，从明年七月一日起，新房子都要增收8%的PST税；但是，房价在四十万以下的，这笔税可以退回来。

有的事情很难说的。Greenboro 一带前不久有一座 4 卧室 single house 挂牌出售，要价 429,900。 当时 Opem House 的时候本人曾去看过。今天已经售出。前后不过 4 个星期。

谢谢！不知道市场有什么反应。可能地段好的都要遭镇屋，地段差的倒是可以继续造独立大房了。

现在涨还是跌都无所谓，关键是成交量，反之，经纪人干着急啊！

for those people who keep saying that house price is not going down, he should put his money where his mouth is, go out and buy a house. This will be good for the local economy. I appreciate your contribution on behalf of all the local construction workers.

I am looking around, most house price is over 380,000. check MLS for those house in city.

Now, the house price in the world is down, Ottawa should not be an exception. Long term, the price is sure go up, but during recent 7+ years, the price was increased almost double, same in Ottawa, that is very reasonable to adjust the price, especially during this recession period. Ottawa house selling time is from March to Nov. I believe after August the price will be more drop down, because not much people buy house in winter.

someone say the price is not important when u buy house for self-living. That is misleading, the higher price, the more money u have to loan, and more interest and more capital u have to pay-back. It is trade off the benifit of low-interest loan.

Also, the rate now is not as lower as the people said. The prime is low as 2.5, but it could be increased to 5% in one year. when u ask 5-year fixed rate, it is higher than 4.2% (who get better?), when I bought my first house in 2003, my rate is Prime -1, that is 2.5, 5-year fix rate is 4.8.
So, save the cash, wait for next year, ready to get in, pay more downpay, less interest, unless u really need house or one u really like.
This is what I am doing.

But do u know what is the selling price? It could be selled as 340,000.
In vancouver now, it is very hard to sell as asking price, the final deal is about 10-20 % lower of asking price. That is why the price I see is most over 350,000, but the report said average price is about 310,000.

请问新房子指的是新建的房子还是新买的房子？比如说明年七月一日以后，买40万以上的二手房，是否需要增收6%的税？ 这6%的税是一次性的，还是每年都交？谢谢！

如果我没有理解或者记错的话，是买新建造的房子要加收８%的ＰＳＴ税（total 13%)。既然是新建造的房子要加收８%的税，肯定是一次性的了。
