Maintenance fee is around $350-$450.Hydro and utility are included in maintenance fee. You had better choose condo using gas. If the building use electricity, maintenance fee is high. Property tax is about $1000 per year. So monthly expenditure is mortgage+property tax+maintenance fee. -guest:no name; 2001-5-25 {250} (#81124@0)

condo fee has nothing to do with morgage. even you buy the property with 100% cash, you still need to take care of property tax and maintenance fee(condo fee) -guest:condo; 2001-5-27 (#82283@0)

哦，那就是一次付清后，没有mortgage了，每月只要交condo fee $400，每年再交一次property tax？另外，买房时，是不是还有一些one time fee要交？ -guest:; 2001-5-27 (#82298@0)

yes. as to the one time fee, it could include land transfer tax, disbursements charge, lawyer fee etc. -guest:condo; 2001-5-27 (#82307@0)

我也想买CONDO 或TOWNHOUSE，可以介绍一下找房的经过吗？价钱地点管理费等是多少。我看了几间CONDO，知道CONDO的大概情况， TOWNHOUSE ，NO IDEA。 -chakchi(Ling); 2001-5-26 (#81647@0)

因为我们买的新房，就没有太多找房经过。就先把地点定下来，然后找那附近在盖的房子，去他们的sales center然后决定买。我们这twon house 是叫free hold的那种，没有管理费的，但gas,hydro,什么的要自己负担，小花园也得自已打理。 -yixuan(依煊); 2001-5-26 (#81684@0)

I just bought a condo after half a year living in rented townhouse. I like condo,it's clean and quiet. Maintenance fee inlude everything you need care about. because I don't want to be a tenant nor landlord -ayuan(guai); 2001-5-27 {127} (#81963@0)

Is that kind old one? 2 bedroom plus den, 1000+sq feet, kinda cheap, $200,000 market value at least if it's a decent one. -guest:; 2001-5-27 (#82411@0)

有15万加币能买house吗？我是这么打算的：想法带15万加币出去，在加买一套house,自己自住一层，另一层及basement出租，这样既可解决住房问题又能解决生活问题,就可不比必急着找工作或许就读读书什么的，象这样能不能维持一家三口的生活呢？等经济好转再慢慢找工作。在哪个城市买比较好？如何按揭？ -xiaojia(jj); 2001-5-27 {255} (#82117@0)

gg996： townhouse一般要多少钱，例如多伦多，4rooms,2bathes+basement，首期一般交多少？ -xiaojia(jj); 2001-5-27 (#82127@0)

我还真不太清楚,我有个朋友是17万卖掉的,大概是3年新的,首期我想这看你自己了,最好一次付清,我才不想交那么多利息. -gg996(gg); 2001-5-27 (#82131@0)
他的房子是3rooms,2bathes,但是basement是装修过的. -gg996(gg); 2001-5-27 (#82134@0)

15万加币只能买一个很远地区的很小很小的house. 想要4个bedroom,只能去某个小镇买，在多伦多地区，想都别想。 -yixuan(依煊); 2001-5-27 (#82280@0)
去Calgary吧。我认识几个朋友，买的房子价格从13万到25万不等，至少有两个人是靠出租来付morgage的。不过都是去年和前年的事了，今年房价可能涨了。因为那边经济太火了。 -hearts(hearts); 2001-5-27 (#82407@0)

Vancouver Condo Maintenance FeeWe just bought a new condo. Property Tax is about $1,300 a year and maintenance fee is $115 a month, including gas and management fee. As I know condo maintenance fee is reviewed yearly and depend on the age of condo and facilities in condo. Old condo's maintenance fee will go as high as over $200 in Vancouver. Some condo with swimming pool, gym room and club. The maintenance for those condo must be high. -guest:Gang; 2001-5-27 {413} (#81992@0)
