of the insanity of the Montreal real estate market. The house I rented for 4 years in the mid-to-late-90s is for sale now – listed at $269K!
In Montreal, if you’re lucky and do your research, you can still get a hell of a lot of house for that kind of money. This particular house, however, is a real dump and unless a lot more work was done than can be seen from the photos published in MLS, it is worth not even half what they’re asking for it. Moreover, I know for a fact that it was sold to the current owner just 18 months ago for $110K.The place was very economical as a $700/month rental that you could share with three roommates. That’s a far cry from what they’re asking now though.
Incidentally, this is where my first mirror photo was snapped, a couple of months before I moved out.
