  • Construction at the Stanley District Condo development in Niagara Falls, Ontario suddenly stopped a few months ago and the pre-construction buyers are searching for answers. All that remains is a big mud hole, all construction equipment is gone and no workers anywhere to be seen. What has happened to the buyers deposits and has the developer actually gone bankrupt or have they sold the development to someone else? We will continue to follow this news. #realestateinvesting #broke #receivership #presalecondos #realestatecrash #jonflynn #canadianrealestate #homebuyer

    I'm hoping there will be a housing crisis so I can buy cheaply when I sell a few houses in 2025. As a backup plan, I've been thinking about purchasing stocks. What advice do you have for choosing the best buying time? On the one hand, I continue to read and see trading earnings of over $500k each week. On the other side, I keep hearing that the market is out of control and experiencing a dead cat bounce. Why does this happen?

      The Canadians that you have in mind are either really well off or are complaining about different ethnicities from their trailer . It depends who you call a Canadian.

    Another company will buy out that land and build condos eventually. Definitely, building condos is better than suburban hell sprawl with only single detached houses

      Yes, having neighbors on the other side of the wall and over your head and under your feet and having no yard of your own is much better than having a house.

      @@HeatherRose_ yes. Take a look at single detached neighbourhoods. There is literally nothing. You can’t just walk to shops, restaurants, dentists, parks e.t.c. Your kids have no access to public transit and are confined to your neighbourhood. Literally, no freedom
