Buying a house in Ottawa
Im researching to buy my 1st house, im interested to buy small 1-2 bed room bungalow. I greatly appreciate sharing your knowledge or experience to help me.
House prices are dropping all over the country except Ottawa (according to the OREB: Record-breaking number of resale homes sold in May 2009).
1. Should I buy now or wait hoping for a price drop? and when is the best season to buy?
2. Rough estimate, how much is the closing cost for ~230K house?
3. I like to buying in Alta Vista neighborhood (quiet residential environment and close to the city centre) but houses there are over my budget (around 230k), any recommendations for a similar neighborhood with same attributes in my budget range?
Thanks for your help.
