Omg!!!.....only you have the talent of turning a normal Sunday routine video into such an interesting video to watch!!!!❤️❤️🔥🔥

@foodstorycanada932 3 года назад

Think about a pre construction house - townhouse,semi or detached . They usually have great deposit structures which are spread out over time and gives you time to save before the closing. Plus it’s quite a fun experience to build and select interiors according to your taste

@jmarcine 3 года назад

Peekapoo a few thoughts from a born/bred Toronto person...1) buy a 1 bedroom condo w a den for an office - a two bedroom will cost too much...as much as a house in the suburbs 2) a house in the suburbs is ok but if you’re not having kids soon, do that later 3) downtown will come back to life soon, by June/July things will be busy - by end of year things will be close to pre-covid times...4) even a decent sized 1 bdrm + den will need a very large down payment so start saving cash! Good luck!

@Peekapoo 3 года назад

Thanks John for sharing :) this was really helpful! Will have to think about things and plan for the coming years before finalizing.. Everything has its pro and cons, just need to see what fits our priorities..

@Shonkat 3 года назад

Love the video, especially the parts when you showed the empty city and did the voice overs. Can't wait to see the condo/house hunting vlogs.

@indianvloggerindubai3420 3 года назад

Omg when you said “family” I felt so excited. Cant waitt!!!

@zzoya9206 3 года назад

The video editing just keeps getting better and better.. also, anyone else watch the sub count and feel happy seeing the numbers slowly and steadily move up?

@manitsehgal3976 3 года назад

Goes to the financial district on a Sunday and finds it empty/closed. Surprise surprise 😆

@salonitandon8358 3 года назад

Exactly. Maybe they should have walked to someplace in the west end like Trinity Bellwoods or eastend like Riverdale to see life. The financial district seemed like a deserted place even pre-covid during the weekends.

@ResidentIndia-yr8do 3 года назад

House/Condo taxes, monthly utilities staying in downtown and investment in a small property on outskirts with minimal payable EMI always a good option

@naqshchaudhry2299 2 года назад

This video was soooo documentary style with the editing. Hands on girl 👍👍😅🏆

@Pandyakritika 3 года назад

I love it when you do long videos. I almost feel like I'm in canada

@fayella9 3 года назад

The financial buildings are all open actually. I still go into them, its on rotation and depends on the people who work there. Also shoppers is terrible to buy stuff from, try going to a freshco/metro in dt! Those classico pasta(better than PC) bottles are 2.99 normal and on sale it becomes 99cents!

@asharani611 3 года назад

What camera do you use? I love the quality and the editing style. :) Also, good luck with the house buying journey. It’s overwhelming but so worth it.

@akankshaverma3911 3 года назад

Look for options in north York , 30 mins from downtown . Areas like yonge and shephard, Shephard avenue. The condos come in budget and spacious as well.

@hetalaroraf9927 3 года назад

Such amazing lovely views😍Keep it up with your editing!!!

@donovangonsalves5908 3 года назад

Pooja I think investing in a house will be a good idea even if it is far from down town as it will be a good investment in d future as real estate in Toronto is getting up throughout d years .by the way love your videos 😍😊

@heathergittens3223 3 года назад

It's tough planning your future. But please take it one step at a time. A condo may be better for you and Saransh, especially if you guys want to stay in Downtown Toronto close to your jobs. If not, you guys may have to move to the suburbs to find affordable houses(preferably a townhouse). Usually, condos are more expensive than houses.

@rajvi212 3 года назад

Lovey video! ❤️ It’s sad to see downtown this silent, I never thought when I was working there that there would be such time too when there is hardly someone there! Hoping to get this situation end soon! ✨

@EllaFX97 3 года назад

The best thing to do is to buy in GTA close to a GO station, the train will bring you downtown in about 30 to 40 mins. People use to live Oshawa, Ajax Pickering...

for print outs one can also go to the nearest library.book their computer for half an hour or even more.get first 15 print outs free.pretty easy.

@LuckyBombay 3 года назад

Get a house.. even a townhome , but no condo... more space is always better... but something you can afford mortgage on... don’t think abt owning it one day .. if your needs change , just sell and move out ... a basement that can be rented out will help you guys

Peeka dulce de leche is not cinnamon, dulce de leche is like evaporated milk with lots of brown sugar, and is a common dessert in Latin America and the origin is from Argentina when I’ll get there I’ll give you guys some 🤣 from Colombia (where is called Arequipe, but is the same)

@tarunnavlani 3 года назад

Don't underestimate the cold weather. It can be brutal. Always wear thinsulated gloves and coverup your ears and neck with a muffler. Also dont waste money on condo.. go for a townhouse or semi detached house even if you have to stretch yourself. Condo has maintaiance fee which starts from 500 minimum per month

@naziakarim4760 3 года назад

It’s really sad to see downtown so quiet which is the most busy place in Toronto ☹️

@salonitandon8358 3 года назад

Because no one goes to the Financial district on a Sunday. There is nothing much going on there.

@cindybednar6997 2 года назад

Most People in Toronto will never be able to afford a house. Some also buy above their means, so if one gets sick or loses their job they can’t afford the mortgage or the other expenses. When we bought our house over 20 yrs ago we based it off of one income just in case. (Interest rates were approximately 12-19% crazy.)

@denisegwilliams8614 3 года назад

Great vlog guys thanks for sharing 👍wow Toronto is really on lockdown hope it open up soon those businesses must be suffering 😔 great dinner peekapoo looks mouthwatering 😋

@Peekapoo 3 года назад

I know- it feels so sad to see all the stores, restaurants shut :( it must be so difficult for small businesses. It’s been very long, it will be over soon 🙏🏻

I believe you can get the pasta sauce even more cheaper at Food basics for 0.99 cents. They always have got sale for most of the items. Download flipp app and it will serve the purpose. 😊

@aka5611 3 года назад

Consider buying a condo townhouse in GTA! it’s a great investment for a first time home buyer! Mississauga is a great option since it’s close to downtown.

@mishaalzk6033 3 года назад

@prateeksharma4884 3 года назад

Due to the pandemic situation downtown looks like a concrete jungle seriously. By the way I like your vlogs👍

@luismadrid3380 2 года назад

thank god I live in MTL it is getting expensive but not as ridiculously as toronto!!! the new REM will be connecting cheap places to downtown in less than 30 min putting less demand on downtown real estate, you can still buy a decent house in Montreal 30 minutes from downtown for around 500K or a condo for 300k

@PrabhjotSingh-pj4ns 3 года назад

Dont buy condo in downtown..the prices wont go up...invest in pre construction n buy atleast a townhouse....london, waterloo region, barrie, whitby are best areas to invest....al d best

@MrSohildeep 3 года назад

Commute time not worth it, buy it in Brampton. You can get nice semi house with basement for about $900,000. Rent out basement to pay mortgage payments.

@deepamurthy7105 3 года назад

Omg relatable...in Brussels staying in a furnished studio apartment n hardly hv space to move around!!

@davidsonrodrigo104 3 года назад

I also think buying a house is good idea than buying a condo. Hope you will find a peaceful house soon. Best of luck

@nathanphillips1681 3 года назад

Buying a house is definitely the better option. Condo, not so much unless your workplace is downtown.

Bit surprised by the amount of returns u guys do (specifically Zara). I guess you had already returned quiet a lot just before heading off to Aruba..and now again..

@treynolds94 2 года назад

The further north east you go the cheaper. I live in Peterborough about 2 hours north east of Toronto. Have been watching your videos. It's crazy seeing how far you guys have come since moving to Canada. Peterborough average home price is just over $600 thousand. Our community has been growing so fast with folks from the city buying properties here since you get way more for your buck. GO bus service runs from PTBO to Oshawa then GO train from Oshawa to Union in under 2 hours. Via rail service coming to Peterborough with the Ottawa bypass route within the next decade.

@dilpreetkaur7976 3 года назад

The envelopes are not regular envelopes .Those are express/ one day delivery envelopes. So you basically pay for expedited postal services.

@Peekapoo 3 года назад

Yeah bought it for the first time :)

@nilouferkhan8843 3 года назад

So sad to see Downtown Toronto so empty and deserted. It is such a happening city. Hope and pray things get better and it opens up again.

@Peekapoo 3 года назад

@madhujayaraman8630 3 года назад

Love the vibe in your videos! Lol Dulce de leche thats Spanish for caramel! Great quality videos! Kudos to you!! 🤗💕

@nerissa5857 3 года назад

I would suggest looking for 2 bedroom condo or a townhouse, then you will have equity later to buy the house you want.

@gursimratgill4613 3 года назад

@Riyaashah16 3 года назад

Buy a house. Don’t go for condo. Coz house is a long time investment go for a villa. It’s worth it get ur savings from India. Tom ur kids will really be happy in a big home.

@syedafrozeahmed4663 3 года назад

I would suggest to go for a house a little far from downtown and go for the driving license for commuting

@akshitajain4919 3 года назад

Its soooo good to watch u guys...ur editing is super great.. and u r sooo cool and chill... its kinda relaxing to see u :)

@aindrilapatra3651 3 года назад

@bepositive370 3 года назад

You should look for a house in Hamilton. Its about 1 hr away from Toronto. But you will get more for your money.

@ankitaahuja111 3 года назад

You need atleast 3 rooms with a kid as you would need one office for yourself. I know GTA real estate sucks

@happymommy6615 3 года назад

As you said you will be planning for a baby in a couple of years you should look more towards getting a house and not a condo . As you will have lot of space and a very nice back yard where your baby can play and you guys can also enjoy during the summers . I have a baby too and I also was confused but now decided on getting a detached or a semidetached

@thefearlessself 3 года назад

@arushichhetri4647 3 года назад

Hey Pooja, do you mind sharing where you bought your winter jacket and boots from?? Thanks!

@raghuyadav6729 3 года назад

You should checkout area Mount Pleasant, Brampton newer and much better than most areas in Brampton. Go train takes 43 min (express one) to reach downtown so not bad.

@Peekapoo 3 года назад

Thanks for sharing 😊 will check it out!

@sdhillon8878 3 года назад

Oh! and BTW, growing up in Canada, Toronto used to be known as Toronto the Boring (2016ish). From your video today, it brought back memories on how Toronto used to be.

@Peekapoo 3 года назад

:( hope all this ends soon..

@Balerion_The_BlackDread 3 года назад

Don't buy a condo. Buy a stand alone personal house, If you're planning to spent rest of your life in Canada. Your family will grow in future so buying a personal town house would be sensible option.

@satyamchopraa 2 года назад

@janvisoni857 3 года назад

It feels so sad to see the downtown so empty, missing the patios, new year celebrations, people dancing and singing in the streets. I miss Toronto the way it was.

@jessycam-k5059 3 года назад

I gave up my condo in downtown in December and moved to a townhouse rental in Brampton. It's not as fun, but the extra space is amazing. Being able to have individual offices has been AMAZING. And, being able to keep our work space separate from our living space is really, really important to us.

@Peekapoo 3 года назад

You’re right! I know how much I crave for space these days. Everything is in the same room which sucks..thanks for sharing your experience :) I agree- having space is very important

@KKSAINI734 3 года назад

Get a house not a condo . House will be a good option for long term . You have to check your credit line with the bank first . And try to get a house in Mississauga or Vaughan area it’s not that hard to commute from there . TTC is a good option .

@JeremyMacDonald1973 3 года назад

I lived in Mississauga for a year at one point and taking Public Transit from Mississauga downtown took a very long time. You don't just decide that you are keen to try the new Roti place a King and College for dinner tonight if you live in Mississauga and need to take Public Transport. You either get a car or you limit your trips. Furthermore the average house price in Mississauga is just over $1million dollars - the average price of a Condo in Downtown Toronto is $580,000. You want to consider the pro's and cons here carefully but for the most part if you want the finer things in life - like spending your evenings drinking cocktails at a trendy establishment you are far better off with the downtown condo. If you have little ones on the way then the house far from the entertainment district (which you won't have time to enjoy) makes more sense.

@rohanutep81 3 года назад

Houses in Missausaga and Vaughan are also out of reach

@rohanichhaporia6580 3 года назад

Goodness me! PC Concerto dark chocolate cookies are some of the best and the scariest because they disappear on the day they come home. 🙈 I wonder if you've tried PC's Decadent chocolate chip cookies? They're addictive as hell! Cheers, you two!

I would say that if your work from home is long term then you guys think for renting a house where you are planning to buy to see how much work is there for house or you would prefer downtown apartments and the. After an year can make a decision.

@UnitedCanuck 3 года назад

If you buy a condo, you still have to pay condo fees, property taxes and the mortgage. Buy a townhouse in Ajax.

@Leaschronicle 3 года назад

I love that you are planning to buy a property .... But why not buy a house instead of a condo as with a house if it has a basement you can rent it out or use it as a airbnb and get some extra money 🤑🤑🤑🤑💰💰💰💰...

@JeremyMacDonald1973 3 года назад

No way they can afford a house in downtown Toronto or even Mississauga. They would have to go out far. At least Pickering or the like. For a couple that loves to go out drinking with friends or checking out the fall festival at a pop up or the like well I am not sure if the night life of Pickering is really going to live up to their expectations.
