The missus and I looked at a show home today just south of us in Regina. It was a 1700 sqft two story with double attached garage, nothing to special. It came with a $515,900 price tag!!!!

I think we will wait and see what happens in the next couple of years, the prices can't keep on like this forever!

For our land out here it at least tripled in value since we bought it. When we build a house, a shop and do some landscaping, we could probably sell it for around a million dollars. Its crazy!

I dunno if this trend will keep up or not, but with industry getting better and better around saskatchewan, I cant see it going down anytime really soon.

I just hope it stays up till the day I retire

Yeah ever since break up I have noticed alot more going on around here. I must have just been missing it cause I was never home.

I also dont know how many people have told me there was tons of excavating work out there. Everyone out here that I have mentioned i have a backhoe tells me Ill be rich in no time lol.

Now if only that were true!

me too. right now our property is in one of the most wanted areas. slightly out of town, quiet, and immediate access to trails and bush. i sure wasn't too excited about having to spent 250g's on a new house so this one will do just fine!!

I wouldnt wanna live in the city. All the hustle and bustle sucks.

Tonight I went outside for a gaze at the stars. Heard a few coyotes, got to actually see the stars, took a pee in my huge yard.

Sometimes ya cant get away with that stuff in the city!

Today I got some kind of an older mid sized dodge for a loaner car while waiting for an oil change and getting the check engine light looked at.
At first it wasn`t bad but after a little driving around town the road noise was got to me and it was great to be back in our Ranger!
