Condo living in Waterloo Region

[danbrotherston]

To be totally fair, this took me a long time too...I lived in a house for 5 years due in large part to the high price of the City Centre Condos, but even when I started looking, I though the condo fees were really high.  I spent a long time with a spreadsheet to convince myself that they weren't...I literally took all the repairs I did over 5 years and distributed them over the 5 year period, and was surprised how much I'd spent.

I did exactly the same thing. Yes, the condo fees are somewhat less than we were spending. And we were also spending time ourselves maintaining the house and property.

So much time.  This is the first fall in a long time I haven't spent many weekends cleaning up leaves, I'm so happy.
