100k this year? I think that’s a bit much. I’m thinking 5% for the next year or two. But one never knows.
In the end, I felt that, though the place was a good price, and in the right school district (MB), we do have to live there and be happy about it. And we love our place – the new place was just ok. So we passed.

The other point is, while homes are going down, if you plan on making the area your permanent home, yes, it may lose some $ right now, but it will come back in a few years.
