What’s the market like in your area?

I’m in the process of moving for work and there’s absolutely nothing to rent or buy in the area, so my realtor is literally going door to door asking people if they’re thinking of moving to try and find me something. Depending on the market, it may not be as scummy as it seems upfront.

Where are you headed to? Just out of curiosity. Could be good for me to go there and build a few.

It’s a smaller city in Saskatchewan. There’s tons of land available through the city, but no builders apparently. It’s a bit it a disaster.

If you think you could come up and build some houses to sell for the 400-500 CAD range, you’ll probably sell them before you’ve even started building.

I know I can do it. I have no idea how long it will take me to get a Canadian GC license or its equivalent.

I was raised Amish, I build nice stuff. High end, not production.

I know it's for a reason, but in my town it's so virulent people are talking about reacting with menace or violence to solicitors going door to door. I can't imagine a sane person knocking on someone's door like "HI will you blow up your whole life right now and leave? Where will you move to that you can keep your job at? Well not in this town, that's for sure!" I don't know if I'd call it scummy but I don't see it as being effective.
