Yeah those Revelstoke homes are ridiculous. I have no idea who can afford to live in a two million dollar mansion. Crazy

It depends a lot on the house and exactly where it is. There haven't been any sales over $550k in that area (in 2007) except around Revelstoke Dr and Kamloops Ave. but that's more the Revelstoke/Mooney's Bay area than Riverside.

I have been living in Hintonburg for a year and a half now. There is no shortage of crack heads, street walkers and drunks but I haven't really found it that unsafe. We haven't had any issues with vandalism or break ins at all. You can definitely find a better/safer neighbourhood but the 'burg' does have it's charm and it's generally cheap rent. That said, I'm moving closer to Westboro at the end of the month. Anybody want to buy my house? It's real nice.

Mike, drop me a line and let me know what you need, I'm sure I can give you a hand. I have everything plumbing related (tools and supplies) as I just finished replacing all of the plumbing in our place.

hey skelter. I am in the same line of work here in Ottawa with Coldwell Banker. Send me a PM with your contact info and maybe I can pass on some referrals. It always nice to find someone worth working with in another city. cheers

I find the mortgage arrangements the biggest hassle in buying a home. A CRA tax audit requires less paperwork. That said I just bought a new home and I'm a little worried as I still have my old home to sell. Anyone want a nice place in Ottawa? I'll give you a deal...

I'm your friendly neighbourhood realtor/landlord/renovator. Boy do I miss sleep.

In!

Todd, if you find a few others for the day passes, I'm in. I don't know anyone else that wants one though (well maybe one more person). Only a few more days...

Add another one to the bus Brad, if it happens.

This is kind of a shamless cautiously optimistic plug, but my sister-in-law owns Cuppedia at 97 Main St. near Lees. It's a new little coffee/teas/desserts place. They have couches, wireless internet and most of the time good music. They are just starting out so it's never too busy. It might be a good place to hang out.
