Participant[quote=AN]I understand, that’s why I suggest you talk to the house with a lot of cars before you rule out a house. My neighbor have 4 cars between him and his wife. His son used to live with him too, so that’s 5 cars. My parents have 4 cars and my brother have 2. He’s still living at home. Those are just two examples.
BTW, this is not specific to MM. I’m just suggesting that in general. I noticed that old neighborhood tend to have a lot more cars on the street than newer neighborhood, especially ones w/ HOA, since they tend to either prohibit that or the type of people who buy in those areas tend to not be pack rats with many cars or have their kids living with them.[/quote]
Why would one have more than one car per driver?!(Unless you are a collector, or just love cars.). We only recently, very reluctantly bought a 2nd car, and I still think we caved in and waste money on this 2nd car. We could have tried to use public transportation or carpool with friends – better for the environment and saves money. I can’t conceive ever needing more than 1 car per person. I can understand perhaps, in addition to each worker’s commute car have an extra family/large SUV car.

Participant[quote=bearishgurl]you keep your attention focused on the East UC market (more affordable than the west end), I think you will be able to find a good home in your price range. But you will have to ACT quickly if you are interested in a property. Since there are so few “affordable” listings there, I have no doubt that there are potential buyers (possibly w/relatives living in and scouting the neighborhood for them) just waiting for the right property to become available. [/quote]
I understand that I have to act very quickly when/if something like that appears in UC. The slim inventory in our range means there is a lot of competition. This better Ramsay property has been on the market 50+ days (surprising, huh? It looked quite good on paper, with decent room sizes, 2 car garage, yard), and they lowered their price last month from 525K to under 500K. I wonder if it was something that maybe was not quite right or appealing in the house. I’d be surprised if there weren’t many offers on it.

Participant[quote=AN]Scarlett, one thing to keep in mind is that quite a few of the houses I see that have many cars in the driveway/sidewalk is due to the fact the the kids are still living at home. They’re either staying home while going to school or staying w/ parents to save money or down payment or just staying home w/ parents until they get married. Also, quite a few people in MM are pack rats, so they either park 1 or no car in the garage, so there’ll park at least 1-2 cars in the driveway. Due to the fact that there’s no HOA, we don’t have to park 2 cars in the garage.
When you’re serious about buying and find one of the house you want, if it’s close to a house that have a lot of car, you might want to just talk to them to gage what time of people they are. They might not be who you think they are.[/quote]
Some of the garages were open, so I figured out there are pack rats. No problem with that.
But, the phenomenon of kids living with their parents shouldn’t depend on location, however, one doesn’t see that many cars in other neighborhoods. Don’t grown-up kids live with their parents in PQ? When the street and the drivways are packed with cars (not just a couple of houses on the block where indeed the kids may be living with their parents) something else must be going on. Could they be renters like sdr was suggesting?
