It sounds like you are now where i was then :-)

Go have fun and buy a house with a chick (or guy depending on your sexual orientation) when you get a bit older and ready to settle down.

Similar story.. When I was single I lived in a penthouse condo in midtown Toronto. I enjoyed stumbling home a few blocks for a night cap with a cute girl... Loved being able to just lock up and go on extended trips without having to worry about it.

I also noticed that because it was located near all the action my condo became the meeting spot on weekends for all my friends that lived further out of the city and on quite a few occasions I had great impromptu afterhour parties with people that my friends and I met at the bars... I had the time of my life in that condo and its appreciated almost 50% of my purchase price. I rent it out now and plan to hold on to it for a long time.

I guess it all depends on your personality - are you a homebody that likes to curl up with a good book on a Saturday night or are you a frolicking womanizer that loves to have a few drinks on a Saturday night and chase some tail?

I'd definitely go for the penthouse condo lifestyle especially living in Montreal. I just think at 25, there are just too many hot Montreal chicks for you to be banging and going on trips with instead of spending time dealing with a house. BANG THEM ALL. You have lots of time down the road to live in a house.

1. I'm planning an Old School Keg party on my grounds for this summer. ( yards out front and back for camping + general hell raising. Cant do that in a condo ... try putting a tent up.

2. Chillin at the firepit on the patio at night with babes more often than not. They LOVE to see you have a house ... screams you have a tight game. Condo screams you renter.

3. Fireplace in the living room ... Ballin' and the site of a few really nice times with the ladies.

4. Equity. Yes, I have a lot of upkeep ...but, I have over $200k in equity on $400k house. apporx 50% paid off ... been here 2 years in this house. Resale vaule now is $380k which I have lost a little ...but, owning the land as well knowing things will go up in time i'll make out.

5. This is my home. I can add / remove / trip out whatever I want without permission of a board. Done the condo thing and getting approvals ( or told no ) sucks balls.

Bought my 1st house at 24 and this is my 5th. Each time I made a move to where now I call a very nice area home with $2m+ homes nearby, historic homes, Farms and alot of protected lands.

I'd go house every time.

Just purchased my house a little over two years ago when I was 22 or so. 3br, 3ba, 2k sq ft and about an acre. I've lived in plenty of apartments/condos before and will never go back. I enjoy my peace and quite wayyy too much.

Bonfires, parties, private driveway, my own pool, grilling, screened in porch or deck for working outside on nice days...and the list goes on.

I'd say move away from the city and buy a single family home.

600k for a condo in laval?! Resale is going to be a bitch because its Laval IMO. For sure if the condo market hits a snag, ppl with $$ arent going to be looking to buy in Laval, theyll want the city. other phases on the way? Your view might get blocked by the other construction. For that price why dont u get a condo downtown and avoid all that traffic?! You can get 1500 sq ft or so in the city for that price.

Apt rentals hold strong.

mavruda · 07-27-2011, 12:38 AM

I would go for the house, but as you said you're single - then you shall need to get to the dates more faster. Girls come and go more fast in a condo. Living for 5 years from now on in a dynamic area sounds better for the single guy.

On the other hand, the money you can spend when have the house - you can get a better car and to ride the chicks there with same success to the BBQ.
So my guess is for the Condo - single, biz guy, going on biz meetings faster from you HQ no need to travel much, closer to the social life and the new eventual money.

I have both, and choose to live in the penthouse and rent the house out, i'm a bit older at 35, but i still love the low maintenance living, the house is alot of work so now the estate agents manage it and i take a rental.

Jon Oso · 07-27-2011, 02:58 AM

I'm 25 and have hated living in a condo since I was 23 (I've been here since I was 22 fwiw).

I just bought a house. I have ZERO reason to have 3 bedrooms, a 2 car garage and even two bathrooms RIGHT NOW, but in a year that may change. Plus the mortgage on the house is about 400 dollars less than rent + hoa for the condo, and the house is almost double the size.

Sure there will be more shit to deal with if you get a house, but occasionally paying for a repair is well worth not sharing walls with people. There's been a lot of traffic coming in and out of this place (these condos were 250k+ when new, now down to about 90-120k) and I have hated about every second neighbor I've had. Some of them you never hear, some of them it has sounded like girls are straight up getting chainsawed apart at 3am.

Will never deal with that again, and if you have the money to buy a detached home, do it. My condo is MUCH more conveniently located than the house, but fuck it. If I want to go somewhere I have a car and if people don't want to drive out to my place then I really don't want them around lol.

Well again, it all depends on your personality. Considering I worked from home alone during the week, I enjoyed being the host on the weekends and I actually liked my friends lol.
