Caveat Emptor

John Philip Green lives in my neighbourhood (the High Park area of Accordion City) and he noticed a couple of things about the listing for the house pictured above:

House Needs Major Renovations…House Is Not Heated. There Is No Water In The House. Great potential!…Pls Do Not Bring Children – It Is Not Safe.

It’s 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, asking $599,900. Let the bidding war commence!

  • I would not buy it without them fixing the ceiling in the living room - seems to be falling apart (last picture).

    It's a great place to stash cadavers / drugs.

  • No bidding war in this environment, when housing prices have risen to such highs, but income has not kept pace (at all). Add increasing unemployment, and the mainstream media beginning to report on a bubble ....
