1831. Beautiful new house

Hughes Jr. and Reyek both have a wide connection in St. Johns. The former has many friends on the street, while the latter is very edible in fisheries. St. Johns is a port city, and important industries are related to fisheries.

When the two heard that they were here for Winnie to live, they immediately rushed to ask Qin Shiou's request, and then mobilized their friends to help find a suitable house.

Qin Shiou's plan was completed in three days. Winnie could be discharged from the hospital for about three days before she could be discharged from the hospital for rest, but things were almost done that day. Reyek and Hughes collected the surrounding properties and took photos with an introduction to let him watch it.

In this way, Qin Shiou did not return to the fishing ground, but lived in the city, and temporarily resettled Zhong Dajun and Mao Weilong's family to accompany him to see the house.

On the first day, he spent half a day collecting the surrounding houses for selection. On the second day, Qin Shiou took people to observe. The houses he looked at were all for sale, mainly high-end apartments. After choosing a few, a single-family apartment located next to a small park entered his sight.

This apartment building has been built for a few years and is a new-style building. The owner buys it for investment. With the emergence of the immigration boom, Canada's housing prices have appreciated rapidly in recent years. The difficulty in buying a house is not only a headache for Chinese youth, but also young white-collar workers in Canada.

There is little room for appreciation in St. Johns' house prices, because as mentioned earlier, this is a harbor city, with the economic focus on fishery and tourism. Immigration rarely works in these two industries, so they will not come here to live and develop their own future.

Of course, St. Johns is a holy place for retirement, but now how many immigrants are going to retirement? Therefore, local housing prices have not increased very much. The city center was more than 5,000 in the past few years, but now it has only risen to more than 6,000.

But even so, the white-collar workers and blue-collar workers in St. Johns have already shouted high housing prices every day. Every time Qin Shiou sees these people's calls, he wants to send them to Kyoto or the Magic City to experience it, so that they can know what desperate housing prices are!

However, if you convert it, the house price in St. Johns is not low. Six thousand Canadian dollars is 30,000 yuan. But the problem is that the people who buy houses here are mainly locals, and the locals earn Canadian dollars. Whether the salary is 4,600 or 8,000 yuan, they are all Canadian dollars. In this case, there is pressure to maintain a house, but it will not be as terrifying as the country.

It just so happened that the landlord of the single-family apartment was also an immigrant. He was a Singaporean. Singapore had a more terrifying housing price than China. After immigrating, the man felt that the housing price in St. Johns had room to increase, so he invested in buying the house.

As a result, the house was not in his hand. He has been listed for two years, and there are so many people who see the house, let alone buy a house. Of course, this is related to his asking price. The average price of the city is between 6,000 and 6,500, and he wants 7,000 here. Naturally, there are not many people who see the house.

Another reason for the few houses to see is that this house is a bit big and the price is a bit high, and most people cannot afford it.

This apartment building has three floors in total, and the attic is four floors. There are two garages and a small lawn in front of the yard, and a large garden behind it. The effective area is about 260 square meters per floor. In this way, the three floors will be close to 800 square meters.

The landlord is a Chinese in Singapore. Of course, he immigrated to Singapore because of his grandfather. Apart from his bloodline, he has nothing to do with Chinese people, but he has the shrewdness of Chinese people and has a house listed. You can only buy one floor, and sell it separately in this way, which can increase housing prices.

However, he agreed, if he was willing to give the attic if the whole sale was sold, Qin Shiou smiled and shook his head. What if he didn't give the attic? St. Johns is not New York. Who would buy the attic?

This apartment building looks very good. There are shiny ceramic tiles below, and the upper floor is very flavorful wooden boards, which are light yellow overall. There are vines climbing on the walls. In early spring, there are small purple flowers blooming. It is facing the street, as well as a garage and a small lawn, and a spacious garden behind it.

Qin Shiou went into the house and saw that the house was decorated in a gorgeous way. The ground was covered with cork floors. After entering, Singaporeans walked around barefoot and boasted: "This floor is very comfortable. It is not cold to walk barefoot on it in winter. It would be even better if there were children. The child fell off the sofa and would not hurt."

The floor, palace chandeliers, solid wood long tables, a complete set of furniture, a clean and tidy kitchen and a full set of kitchenware. The balcony has been transformed into a small bar. You can sit here in the afternoon to bask in the sun or have a drink, which looks very comfortable.

There was an oil painting hanging on the wall next to the stairs. Qin Shiou saw Van Gogh's sunflower from it. He was very familiar with this painting because he had also gotten a fake sunflower like this.

Overall satisfied, Qin Shiou nodded to Reyek, who whispered: "Do you want to continue watching?"

Qin Shiou said: "Let's bargain, just buy this one, it won't cost much anyway."

Reyek grinned, gave him a thumbs up and praised him, "You are so scary!"

The Singapore landlord is very smart. He killed 7,000 yuan per square meter, so the apartment would cost more than 5 million yuan to buy. The price is very high. St. Johns buys houses based on the price, and a villa is only priced at five million yuan.

Moreover, the landlord also brought out the garden and garage. The garden was priced at 200,000 yuan, and two garages were 50,000 yuan each, and the lawn was given to him for free. With various taxes, Qin Shiou had to pay 6 million Canadian dollars.

For him, the money was not much, six million was six million, but Reyek couldn't stand it and said angrily: "You are slaughtering people, man, this price is absolutely impossible to sell! Six million? Ha, why don't I go to every villa in the beach?"

Singaporeans have no other shortcomings except a little greedy. He has a good temper and smiled and said, "How much tax is paid for the villa? Look at how much tax is paid for this apartment building? Besides, apartment buildings can be used for rent, how to rent a villa? Also, my house is located in such a good location, with hospitals, schools, parks, and shopping malls around it. If you are in Toronto, the house will have to be sold for 10 million yuan!"

"If you go to Kyoto, you can't buy such a house for 20 million." Mao Weilong said coldly, "But this is St. Johns, isn't it? No matter what you say, it can't change the result."

The Singaporean blinked and looked painful: "Okay, I'll give you the garage to you, right?"

"We are given to the garage and garden. I won't tell you more about the housing price, it's only 7,000 yuan. How about it?" Qin Shiou saw that the landlord was a Grandet. If he had to beat the price with him, some would have been beaten, otherwise the house would not have been listed for two years without changing the price.

The landlord sighed in pain, held Qin Shiou's hand and said, "Who made us all Chinese? For the sake of our ancestors, I will follow what you said, when will the delivery be made?"

"Now." (To be continued.)
