Give it a whirl and report back with your score!

I take it Canadians haven't been paying attention to the U.S. housing bubble?

LOL at the one that says, "The low price is due to the lack of stainless steel appliances." I always laugh at that when I'm watching House Hunters on HGTV and it's something that is a "dealbreaker" for the home buyer.

OMG Right? People will pass up crazy good deals/houses for the stupidest shit. Take your dumb ass to Sears and buy your $1200 SS fridge or $80 sconce light yourself. There was one episode of "My First Place" where the husbands main concern about the house was the LIGHT FIXTURES ....Gimme a break.

LOL "The word 'vintage' sells guitars...why not houses?" :p

9/16

12/16 too funny

I am so confused.... 1 Canadian Dollar must = about 10 US Dollars now, because the cost of some of those houses can't be right!!!

11/16
Most of those houses were just dreadful. No front door?:confused:

Property Virgins exposed me to real estate costs for Toronto so that part wasn't as shocking.

My thoughts exactly, some look very small and cannot cost over 1m dollars.

Right? I live in one of the most expensive markets in the US and there is absolutely no f-ing way that places like that would go for that. It just doesn't seem real... are there links to actual real estate listings anywhere?

Well, if you don't know how to do any of that stuff yourself and hiring someone to do it would be $$$, then yeah, it can be. I wanted wall to wall carpeting. That not being in the house would have been a dealbreaker. I'm guessing this particular hubbin had no idea how to replace the fixtures.

The houses really are that expensive here.

Here's a real estate website, as someone asked to see one.
Play away, my friends....

If you google stories about Vancouver real estate prices, you should find plenty of fodder to read.

But back to the game...how are all of your scores on "Crack Shack or Mansion"??

Oddly this reminds me of M.A.S.H...

13/16
