I would like to tell the scam I keep getting in the form of a phone call but I won't here. I never answer it, but scam it is. A friend of mine gets the same phone call.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08015780995837712115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-39499456523612345812021-10-22T10:36:12.212-04:002021-10-22T10:36:12.212-04:00I've been reading about that rental scam in th...I've been reading about that rental scam in the media. Crooks!<br />House prices have gone haywire in my rural community. I had my house appraised in 2018 at 238,000. The newest appraisal was 815,000. Who decides this? I'm anxious about my property taxes next year. My pension raise amounted to $12 a month for goodness sake.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08592184037513559644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-1975796534243397402021-10-21T22:53:43.206-04:002021-10-21T22:53:43.206-04:00My rent is okay and so is location.

Now things have changed and it is a buyers market once again. The problem here is that there have been so many that could not meet their mortgage payments and banks are reclaiming the homes after people walk away. <br /><br />Like you I don't know how young people will ever get on the property ladder even with the reduction in our prices.<br /><br />God bless.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051183778965359500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-37084647221327942182021-10-21T18:40:11.045-04:002021-10-21T18:40:11.045-04:00It's hard here too for young people to get on ...It's hard here too for young people to get on the property ladder, I'm grateful that all our girls have manage to achieve that, renting is just dead money and is more outlay each month than a mortgage payment.<br />I've no idea how these people come up with these scams either, but I suppose there will always be people that will take advantage of situations Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10260573198415697938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-32308300985190661202021-10-21T09:40:07.604-04:002021-10-21T09:40:07.604-04:00I know first hand what it is like for the younger ... I know first hand what it is like for the younger generation. My son is 21. My son's friend's parents moved down east, so his friend needed to get an apartment in Barrie. He couldn't afford his own apartment, so my son and him decided to get an apartment together. They must have looked at 50 or more places. Some of the places, my son said were not fit for a dog and they were charging astronomical rents. They were finally able to secure an apartment in a building downtown. They are paying $1000.00 each for a 2 bedroom apartment. Luckily it is all-inclusive, except for parking. There are some people who are paying ridiculous rent and have to pay their utilities on top of it.<br />As for house prices here it is crazy. Our neighbours beside us moved in only 3 years ago. They just sold their house in less than 24 hrs. It sold for $350,00 more than what they paid for it 3 years ago. Crazy!loriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664540470920241324noreply@blogger.com
