Hi All CD's,

We are in a market to buy our first home, Our choice is either Mississauga or Oakville area.

Recently i came to know through following link regarding townhomes at oakville and i registered. Townhomes starting with price $229.000 and upwards.

http://www.oakvilletowns.com/

Any one have idea regarding location, school near by, transportation, etc..

this coming Saturday they called us for booking.

Your help regarding this matter will help us a lot.......

Thanks in advance

Becareful of Condo Townhouses, there is lots of restriction and fees.

buying house is always a big steps.

i personally woudnt go with townhouse or condo at that price, cause i like my privacy - my freedom


But again house and condo both has thier own advantages and disadvantages.

as per my knowledge:

Condo:
-Cheaper ( at some extent)
- less appriacation value means less resellabilty
- dont have to worry about maintance ( mainly, grass, snow, outside repair), so if u dont like taking care of property then go for it.

House :
expensive then condo
much appriaction - easy to sell with profit
but u do all the work,, maintance, fixing, etc....

So ask your self :
What is the priority ? location, affordablity, resellabilty ?


if you are thinking of selling in couple of years , house will be a best deal.
if you like privacy , your own terms - house is better


instead of investing 200K in condo i would invest 300K in house.

there is condo townhouse - which has maintanace fees ( not as much as Condo)

and there is Free hold town houses - which is better options

I am not sure about Toronto RE market since i just move but YES, i have look into some property since i am also looking to buy and i found u can find good semi-detached at 300 K.

Unfortunetlly, u have to go with agent because not many property is available on public MLS. go speak with different agent dont sign the contract.

If u don't want to go with RE agent, then i would suggest u to check the new upcoming construction with reputed builders in ur area so in that way you will have an opportunity to own a new house and it won't be righ now so u might be flexible with ur budget as ur house will be ready in next year or two.

hope this helps....

I had been to so many builders...............Be careful of the catch.............They say Freehold townhouse or townhome but you have to pay the small fee for road or grass etc thats the catch.........Freehold townhouses doesnt have any maintainance fee.
