Nothing wrong with renting, especially with houses 35% overpriced and the bubble looking to pop with Oil prices dropping.

Lol if I wanted a 1400 square foot house with barely any yard within a mile radius of my apartment id have to pay seven digits. It's such a joke.

Gotta find a job where I can work from a home office and buy a few acres in ths middle of nowhere.

Renting is like flushing money down a toilet.
Mortgage is like putting money in a "bank"

Renting gets you no where.

Exactly, that's just nuts.

Yaa op.
I bought in St Albert for that reason ;-) huge yards and boulevards and mature neighborhoods.

Its stupid. If I want a house that's worth the price tag I have to commute 3-4 hours a day. Thats like working an extra 26 weeks at my own expense. Imo that's reason enough to rent over buying at least at my age.

and then you moved in

Mature neighborhood meaning trees that are 30 years old. Not some 5 year old 10 foot tall sapling
