梦想家园

D.D.O is the best area in west island. 244k looks not so bad. Additionally, the trend is people moving from houses to condos because people are getting old and lazy. However, we can't deny there are so many condos in the market, we have to carefully choose the location and builders. The prime factor is Location, location, location.
Good luck!!!

投资房子？现在在蒙城看起来很难。

商品的价格是由其供求比决定的。现在魁北克每年流失大量人口，前几年新建了大量新房，这些都让蒙城目前及未来若干年的房屋供大于求。

如果是打算长期耕耘，买来自住，现在还不错。

想投资甚至短期投资，想好了再说。一般房子增价10%可以保证你卖出时不亏。这里包括了各种费用、税、装修、以及投资成本等。

现在加拿大还有可以投资房产的地方吗？有，但不是在蒙城。

记着一点，房价是由供求决定的，是由经济做保障的。即使在美国目前的情况下，也不是所有地方的房价都在跌。加拿大也是一样。你如果对魁北克近年以及未来几年的经济乐观，就会认可房价会涨。反之亦然。

I still believe Montreal even Canada's economy are going up. US is slumping now, but compared to US, Canada has been a place develop step by step. The economy increases gradually, the government keeps the balance of improvement. Also, statistic shows that America is still the biggest economy group in the world, most trading is accounted by US dollars. The recession is true, it's impossible for a country keep going up forever, now it's time for break. The most fatal factor is confidence. People lost confidence for the future. In addition, many funds are currently holding their money, they are waiting for the opportunity to jump in the market. However, it might be the time for other countries, to illustrate, China, India and even Canada. We now are already settled down here, why don't we have confidence and be strong to face the future. We must believe ourselves we choose the right place, we can have better life here, even here is not our hometown, we can create better life on our hands, Chinese is the smartest nation in the world!

买房大事

楼主对风水的研究真是与众不同啊.

如果是期房，钢筋水泥结构，可以考虑。至于墓地嘛，那个项目挺多单位的，从风水来讲，人气应该挺足的。而且有墓地就说明那块地不错嘛。怎么说，现在是期房，以后盖好了不满意，卖了也不亏！个人意见

我朋友的房子保暖之类的都是重新翻修过的, 很多新老房子都是电暖, 连他的验房师都跟他用的一样的取暖设备.

无论新老房子,房主都要每年进行一定维护维修, 如果房主根本不管自己的房子从不护理维修,那么这个房子也卖不出什么好价钱

听说老房子保暖材料有毒。有这会事吗?

请看事实：
上世纪90年代，银行房贷利率曾一度高达11%/年，当时的房东们度日如年，破产事件此起彼伏。
01--04年的房贷利率约为4--5%，房价连年大幅上涨。
去年，美国的利率约为8%，出现了次贷危机。而加拿大的利率水平接近6%，房价的上涨幅度受到很大遏制。
目前，银行利率有跟美国走低的趋势，房价小幅上涨为正常现象。

Job creation in office:Canada unexpectedly continued to defy gravity in February, as employers added 43,300 net new bodies to their work forces, just under the remarkable 46,400 they added in January and well above last year's average of 31,000 a month.

Even more unexpectedly, perhaps, construction was the biggest sectoral gainer, despite bitter winter weather, while <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com<ST1:place w:st=" /><st1:State w:st="on"><ST1:place w:st="on">Ontario</ST1:place></st1:State>, whose Premier Dalton McGuinty has been engaged in a noisy fight with federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty over the state of the province's economy, led the provincial job creation stakes.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com</o:lock><v:shape id=_x0000_i1025 style=" /><O:p></O:p>

The February figure was well above the latest consensus forecast among 21 private sector economists, which, as of Thursday, called for 3,000 net new jobs, according to a Bloomberg News Survey, although their prognostications ranged widely, from a loss of 8,000 jobs to a gain of 20,000.<O:p></O:p>

The jobs performance left the unemployment rate unchanged from the 33-year-low of 5.8 per cent it reached in January, while taking the employment rate to a record high of 63.9 per cent, Statistics Canada said Friday.<O:p></O:p>

<O:p></O:p>

Canadian employers added 43,000 new hires to their work forces in February, just under the striking 46,400 they added in January and well above last year's average of 31,000 a month.

<?xml:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" /><v:stroke joinstyle="miter"></v:stroke><v:formulas><v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"></v:f></v:formulas><V:path o:connecttype="rect" gradientshapeok="t" o:extrusionok="f"></V:path><O:p></O:p>

The Statscan figures for February show that employment gains last month were entirely due to an increase in full-time jobs, for the second straight month, and most of the hiring came in construction in Ontario, with 21,000 net new jobs, along with public administration and professional, scientific and technical services.<O:p></O:p>

Wage growth, too, continued strong in February, with an estimated 4.9 per cent year-over-year increase in average hourly wages, making the seventh consecutive month of gains of 4 per cent or more, Statscan noted.<O:p></O:p>

Economists, who had been expecting job creation to cool dramatically in February, were taken aback by the performance.<O:p></O:p>

“This report is truly a surprise, especially given that the source of strength is <st1:State w:st="on"><ST1:place w:st="on">Ontario</ST1:place></st1:State> and construction,” Douglas Porter, deputy chief economist at BMO Nesbitt Burns, said in a note to clients.<O:p></O:p>

“In a nutshell, the persistent strength in overall employment simply drums home the point — yet again — that the domestic side of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><ST1:place w:st="on">Canada</ST1:place></st1:country-region>'s economy remains incredibly healthy, even in the face of the mounting trauma in export-related sectors.”<O:p></O:p>

Mr. Porter, who had forecast a gain of 12,000 jobs, was particularly struck by the performance of the construction sector. “Given the horrendous weather in the month and clear signs that home-building is losing momentum, the strength must be due to surging non-residential activity,” he said.<O:p></O:p>

CIBC World Markets senior economist Avery Shenfeld, who had been looking for a loss of 3,000 jobs, was less sanguine about the February gains.<O:p></O:p>

“It seems that the slower the Canadian economy grows, the more workers it needs to hire,” he said in a note to clients. “This simply defies logic, and after being stunned this month, we'll simply push of our forecast for weaker job gains into March.”<O:p></O:p>

Official <st1:country-region w:st="on"><ST1:place w:st="on">U.S.</ST1:place></st1:country-region> job numbers for February are due out at 8.30 a.m. (ET), and forecasts range from a low of a net loss of 80,000 to a high of a net gain of 100,000, with the average forecast coming out at plus 14,000.<O:p></O:p>

However, the numbers could turn out to be worse than expected. The private ADP Employment Services employment report released Thursday showed there was an unexpected decline of 23,000 <st1:country-region w:st="on"><ST1:place w:st="on">U.S.</ST1:place></st1:country-region> private sector jobs last month, the first drop in almost five years.<O:p></O:p>

Statscan's report shows that another 24,000 Canadian manufacturing jobs disappeared in February, bringing total losses in the past year to 106,000 or 5.1 per cent and cutting the sector's share of total employment to a record low of 11.6 per cent. At the end of 2002, when the most recent decline began, manufacturing accounted for 15 per cent.<O:p></O:p>

However, over all, the province was the principal driver of the February gains, as large gains in construction, building and related support services and public administration more than offset to bring net gains of 46,200 jobs.<O:p></O:p>

“Suffice it to say, this could somewhat change the dynamic of the Flaherty/McGuinty feud,” Mr. Porter observed.<O:p></O:p>

Quebec gained 3,300 jobs for a 0.1 per cent increase, while in the West, only Saskatchewan registered a gain from January, adding 3,300 new jobs, an increase of 0.7 per cent, although the losses elsewhere were small.<O:p></O:p>
