用同一個價錢在烈市買小單位還是在素里買townhouse

byanca

今天有很多問題, 剛在另一個forum問了同一個問題, 不好意思若你重複看到.

因為需要一個較大的空間, 考慮到底應在烈市買一個兩房兩廁的單位(780-820sq ft), 還是在素里近Delta & Nordel Way買一個新的townhouse(1500sq ft).  在烈市的一個比較新or全新的單位最少是$380,000.  Surrey的townhouse是$365,000(已包稅).  

我日常生活和工作都在Richmond, 現在不用車.  但若搬到Surrey, 便可能需要買一輛車. 而且上下班會堵車.  其實平常不堵車由Surrey到Richmond只是廿多分鐘, 堵車大約45分鐘.  

有在Surrey而在Richmond工作的朋友分享下意見嗎?  
另外, 印象中Surrey治安比較差, 現在好點嗎?  
有本來在Richmond住的朋友搬到Surrey後覺得選擇對了嗎?  為什麼?

Someone also mentioned that the housing price will not go up much in Surrey for the next couple years at least because Surrey has too much land.  So, they can build a lot of new houses in Surrey.  

And yes....I think buying a new car is kinda a waste because the car itself is not experience but gas, insurance...is gonna add up.  

I just checked Queensborough on MLS but I don't see many listings....are there any new development there?

I went to the open house today.  I think this neighbor is quite nice.  The price is pretty good too but it's facing the hwy...so I'll keep my eyes on the other listings around this area.  

I don't need to buy a brand new place but it's better to be within 5 yrs old because the repair fee for old building can be very very expensive...

I keep hearing that now is the buyer's market....so I'll see if I can find an apartment with a resonable size and price in Richmond...if not...I can always go back to Surrey because they have lots of new development.
