Guys when it comes to the Mortgage section, things can get a lot more complex but at least it gives you an idea of how things work. Also if you've recently gone through the same process, dont be afraid to share your experience! Itll definitely help a bunch of people!
In the U.S., housing market has gone through the roof to where me, my partner, and 2 of my buds are sharing a house. It truly discourages anyone, at least in 2024, to buy a house anymore. Hopefully, when the housing bubble bursts, I can come back to this vid whenever me and my partner are able to afford buying a home in the future! Either way, an amazing vid Andres!
Ok... I'm 28, I make 100k a year, probably 120k soon with a new job in discussion. My wife make 70k a year. We're in an old, not so good 2 bedroom apartment in Montreal and we're paying 870$ a month. We're tolerating this unit as we hope to buy in the next ~4 to 5 years. This video almost made me cry, how on earth could we afford that much, I mean, 550k for a 2 bedroom, from the price I see everyday, it's not even the priciest units. It's depressing, literally. I work like a fucking dog every fucking day, I'm far from the lowest paid here, and even in my situation it seems unrealistic and almost impossible to be owner one day. How tf did we ended up here ? The economy and this country are sick.
The economy makes absolutely no sense. I really really really feel for you. Honestly I have to help my parents pay their house for this year so they can at least start saving up some money. Nothing makes sense anymore. The housing market needs to crash.
If you’re making that much that young in your career and paying so little in rent, you should be able to save up for a huge downpayment in no time. Keep saving and hopefully the market in Montreal with stabilize, hopefully in the next few years
I’m literally in the same boat @sneyek 130k-145k plus wife at 55k and still struggling to find a livable place that isn’t past saint Jerome or Boucherville - not just real estate market in Montreal but general cost of living have gone up way to much in recent years
@@andresvidoza All deliberately done by those who control this world. They're trying to push things so no one owns anything, and they literally expect us to "be happy" about it.
the only advise I can give you to do a downpayment even its 5 % and own a home. I moved to Canada a few years ago, single and bought a condo. You guys have two incomes!!! I had only one.
What a beautiful detailed breakdown of the how to purchase a home, and kudos to you and your family man from humble beginnings to living your best life actually living your dream its really amazing, im inspired
This is such valuable information for young people navigating the housing market. It's tough out there, but your tips are so helpful for anyone considering buying. Love the practical advice!
Want tech stuff? Want a sports car? Want a house? Andres has videos for everything ! You're doing a great job brother ! 🔥Can't wait to see the new ride though !🤙
Renting is fine if you are young and are uncertain what you want to do in life or where it will take you. I rented for about 1.5 decades before putting down roots in a very nice small town in the middle of nowhere. If I want to do things in a larger town, those towns are just an interstate trip away.
The problem with renting nowadays is that it cost way too much. 2k, 2.5k for a 2 bedroom unit in Montreal ?? How people are supposed to save money, even on a 15 years period to be able to afford down payment ? ^^'
@@Sneyek You don't have to live in a big city. There is the option of living in a smaller area and working remotely. Not every profession is able to do that, but if you can, why not consider it? Also, in a smaller town, you might get paid less, but your expenses can also be less. Really it depends on your tolerance of cost vs. convenience.
@@Sneyek Idk… it all comes different in comparison. Eg I live on Balkans where I pay about $1400 for a decent 2br in a city center including a parking lot and utilities. But my income is about 70% of a similar position in Toronto or Vancouver. And then you have SF where you can make 2.5x more but will pay $4k+ for a 2br. Honestly, 2-2.5k for a 2br in Montreal doesn’t sound that bad at all.
My previous job was 100% remote. My next one will be 100% on site. Same job, just a bit more management. I work in VFX as a developer, so literraly 100% behind a screen. But a lot of companies don't want remote. It's already hard to get a job, especially nowaday (in VFX for what I know). If I move out of the city, what I want like crazy, I would have to refuse ~50/60% jobs. In my situation, it usually mean no job and no more work permit, so I would lose my wife. (-> We would find a solution, but it mean she also leave her job and we lose everything we built together).@@mllarson
Well, it really is, as the income did not increase. Or just a bit. For instance, we were looking for a new condo 2 years ago, one we like was 1600CAD. We did not take it, one year later ? 2200CAD. Now it's like 2500CAD. If the price is not the problem, the speed at which the cost increase is.@@konstantinu8808
Stuff is way too pricey these days. When you see Americans packing up and moving to so-called "third world countries" because they can't handle the costs back home, you know things are seriously going south.
I would stop calling developing countries " 3rd world " when most so called 3rd world countries offer peace, comfort and safety than any developed countries ever do, sure they don't have ur usual star bucks or mc donalds but trust me they do offer better than any of that stuff. Go visit countries like Sri lanka, Indonesia (bali), Malaysia and see the truth for urself
Thank you for this video! I think there is definitely a split in viewpoint of living affordability between older and younger generations, and having this video to refer them to is great! I live in the SF Bay Area, and most of my coworkers either commute from 45+ min one way and live with a roommate, or live much closer but have 3+ roommates, and our pay is by our job standards pretty decent. And yet, we cannot afford to live independently and it truly makes for a demotivating environment, and has me considering a move to another country where cost of living is better regulated.
Thanks for the knowledge of buying some really do realize what goes into the process even though your in your area its the same in Dallas so basically people do your research and number crunching GREAT VIDEO AND THANKS FOR THE INSIGHT!!
Location plays a huge factor, where 6 figures can mean more to you. For what you got your condo, you can buy a 3 car garage home in Utah (4000+ sq/ft). I understand this video is about buying in your 20's, but my point I am pointing out is location really matters. To the younger generation, take care of your credit score! Check different cities in your state, some offer USDA loans where no down payment is required for a home if you make less than $110,000 yearly, pretty neat. Interest rates are high, but don't let that stop you from buying if you can, interest rates will drop and you can refinance to get that better interest rate. Thanks for the great video Andres. Go Ferrari haha
I used a USDA loan to get a nice house in a small town. It costs more in the long run since no money down, but it's a legit option if you can't (or don't want to) put down a large lump sum as a down payment.
Thanks for this man, thinking of buying a propriety next year with my gf in Montreal but man, all thee extra fees, we have to budget more and more. Thanks for sharing and explaining everything so well!
Love this video Andres! I’m personally looking to buy in the next 1-2 years and I haven’t seen a video like this one!🔥 Thanks for painting an accurate picture😊
Loved this video. I’m 22 and study full time along with working full time. I graduate this December and looking at the housing market has been stressing me out. I really really want to buy but the payments look ridiculous.
I went through a very similar process last December here in Brazil. It was an older unit on a way simpler condo but still, down payment, bank insurance and fees, property transfer tax and notary fees made up a big amount to pay on day 0. It is surely a huge initial wall anyone in their 20s have to overcome. It’s sad how hard it is to own one’s home. And that seems to be worldwide.
In may country you can buy / build a house for 50k for 2 bedrooms up to 100k for 3 or 4 bedrooms , but the salary of a good paying worker is around 5k per year , and it sucks man 😢
Great video! I was lucky enough to buy a condo in 2023 in Toronto. One thing to note is the land transfer tax + developer fees are insane in Toronto. I paid like 20k extra just for the developer fee and the land transfer tax is double in Toronto than it is other cities in the GTA. I wish I bought in Montreal 😂
This is an awsome vid. Question tho, with what you paid in total for your condo do you really feel that it was worth it value wise compared to getting an entire single family home? I don’t live in Montreal so maybe idk but for me, 500k gets you a big single family home here in the east coast in the US, that’s what we paid.
urg its a tough say to be honest. I really want a house however im not ready to shed the money on a house and also the amount of time it takes to maintain a house... it just depends where you are in your life I guess!
Andreas video is good as always but still want to ask that can you make a video on proper guide from moving & settling down into CANADA? If possible, then please, try.
Man this video coincidently came at the perfect time as im looking to buy a house, just in the U.S. love all your videos and thank you as always bro. Much love and respect!
Buying an apartment is crazy🥲 condo/apartment same thing because it’s not really your own. Now I support you always bro I love your videos so I mean no disrespect by this but you probably should have just rented or took a loan and bought a house.
Yeah, I can't even finish the video. Rates are terribly high. In the 90s, you could buy a condo for 30 to 60k, and monthly payments were low, low, low. Now, no one can afford to buy anything. Even renting an apartment is costly.
Well do not ever think to move in Greece, I'm paying 50$ for 24 mbps, and I'm getting only 7, my wage is 700$ the electricity bill is 200-300$, every second month, my rent for a 700 sqft is 450$, the water bill is about 100$ and some other taxes about 200$ every single month. Don't ask I don't know who I still live 🤣😔
People don't need to have 20 % downpayment as a new home buyer. Get the CMHC insurance, own a freaking home. Don't be stupid. Prices go up most times when you sell a house
In response to “I don’t think older generation realizes how much harder young people have it nowadays…”, You do realize that those people probably experienced both the World War 2 and The Great Depression. While it is true that COL now is significantly higher, there are more opportunities now to earn money that are not available in older generations. Imagine earning money by simply filming and uploading your “life in a day”. Plus, WFH setups being a norm, ease of buying thru e-commerce, etc. I’m not trying to discount the younger generation’s hard work. I just think that it’s ignorant to say (or think) that the older generation had it easy.
Guys when it comes to the Mortgage section, things can get a lot more complex but at least it gives you an idea of how things work.
Also if you've recently gone through the same process, dont be afraid to share your experience!
Itll definitely help a bunch of people!
Great video, Andres! As someone who lives far away, I find it incredibly insightful to be able to compare living costs and property expenses.
Get that black spot on the ceiling bro.couldnt concetrate much on your face or what you was saying much.
Dont get me wrong.Love your contents ❤
In the U.S., housing market has gone through the roof to where me, my partner, and 2 of my buds are sharing a house. It truly discourages anyone, at least in 2024, to buy a house anymore. Hopefully, when the housing bubble bursts, I can come back to this vid whenever me and my partner are able to afford buying a home in the future!
Either way, an amazing vid Andres!
dude its so wack the market. It just makes no sense anymore. I wish you all the best man I think everyone is waiting for this bubble to finally burst!
It wont. The bubble will never burst. Even if it does, it'll be very small@@andresvidoza
Congratulations on the channel success! These numbers are insane. Costs are through the roof.

Dave Ramsey would go crazy about you buying a condo with your girlfriend, not a wife 😂
lmfao been with here for 10+ years so gf/wife is just a label at this point
@@andresvidozaVideo is great tho, love your content!
You got a pretty good deal for a 2br and 2 baths (AND 2 parking) tbh! When I first saw your condo I thought you were around 600-650k
even tho its still pretty pricey, its actually not bad compared to what the market has to offer. Specially in places like Toronto or Vancouver lol
@@andresvidoza oh it would be close to 1m in Vancouver for sure, I'm in Montreal too, but I bought pre-pandemic, phew.
Much wisdom and also great information Andres! Thank you for this amazing video! You still risk things in life and enjoy it the most, thats inspiring!

its so crazy... what once seemed so possible has now become very very close to impossible
with a fixed payment variable rate, you’re in a perpetual loop paying interest accrued as opposed to the principal
$500,000k is alot for a condo. Imagine the condo fees ontop of your monthly mortgage.
yup and I consider myself lucky not living in Toronto or Vancouver cause the prices there are double
Huge inspiration to us all hermano!!
In may country you can buy / build a house for 50k for 2 bedrooms up to 100k for 3 or 4 bedrooms , but the salary of a good paying worker is around 5k per year , and it sucks man 😢

Unfortunately, renting is now the new household definition considering the absurd price gouging of real estate.
Whats crazy is i live next door to you, and i have no idea. I’m in 8th building. Seems you’re in the 10th. I knew I saw your car around…
hahah thats wild!

Mannnn..how r u?
doing better brother!!
People don't need to have 20 % downpayment as a new home buyer. Get the CMHC insurance, own a freaking home. Don't be stupid. Prices go up most times when you sell a house
best advice is don’t buy a house in 2024

Wonder if this guy watches any kind of motorsports..

500k for an apartment is insane no matter which city.
Compared to Toronto prices, he got an incredible deal. That much money would get you a studio or small 1 bedroom condo where I live AT BEST!
yuuuup now Imagine Vancouver prices@@ADesignersLife
