House hunting hell, in edmonton alberta

[@IRONMAN-kb4su]

Well happy house warmin from back here in the O-land Marc & Shelly ! I looked at probly 50 houses b4 we bought i know how much it sucks .

[@marcelstjean]

+IRON MAN ya man no fun.. we signed a year. then we might look a bying a house.. hope all is well with you guy's.

[@MonteSBC400]

You made a good choice on what you chose Marcel. What a depressing tour on renting choices. Could be worse, could be in the middle of winter on moving too.

[@marcelstjean]

+MonteSBC400 ya man. could be worse.. life is good cheers.

[@johnwalsh8889]

first veiw again im beginning to think I have way to much time on my hands. hay marcel great to see the old nabour Hood again nice to see all the old crew having fun. love to get out there and party with you guys some day

[@PowderRide34]

I was first actually....

[@johnwalsh8889]

Ya man I noticed that you were first. I just took a look at your Chanel do you have a video of the finished cart yet and where did you get the plans for it or was it your own design

[@PowderRide34]

+John Walsh the huffy mower? no there wasn't any plans, I did finish it but I sold it before I made a video, somebody made a good offer. I just kinda went with the flow

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

Shelley is one lucky gal! She's won more stuff in the past 2 months than I have in my life. and what is up with the prices there? remember the beach house i lived at? 1400/month and that's out here! on a wicked beach, 3 bedroom, fireplace, garage, tool shed(s), i'm glad you did eventually find a place tho. Cheers my friend.

[@marcelstjean]

+paradoxdesigns crazy luck eh. edmonton has to much money.. greedy fukers. yes i remember your pad nice. got to remember we are right in the city. thanks buddy.

[@DaddytechEnt]

*don't see any link for the house tour, but it kinda sucks that they divide those houses up like that with the up stairs and down stairs like that, speically since the houses are so old to begin with*

[@marcelstjean]

+DaddytechEnt ya.

[@tigertb65]

wow a lot of houses this had to be rough for you two good video.

[@marcelstjean]

+tigertb65 we looked at twice as much.. it was kinda fun.. not..lol.

[@volvocub2629]

Well that is discouraging, hey just a heads up. We moved from Alberta Ave. to Leduc. It's amazing, almost every house here allows pets. The prices are about the same, just you get so much more home/yard for the same $$$ Commute, it took 35 min to get to my part time job on Jasper and 106 and 45(ish) to get to my part time job by the Space Science Center in the west end. Hey if you want to learn more about Leduc contact me. It isn't as bad of a commute as I thought. And not so bad a town. We Bought our home in South Park. Cheers, Wes

[@marcelstjean]

ya we are liking Thorsby. right on Space Science Center good for you.. i still havn't been. I'm going to Leduc tomorrow afternoon..

[@TheSmreeder]

Wow Marce... The prices are outrageous... Here in Ohio you can get a nice 1500 sq ft home in a nice neighborhood for around a grand... The house I live in is $900 + utes 1.3 acres and our property bounds a 200 acres nature preserve... Good Luck Many Blessings , SMR p.s. we live in Clinton Ohio just south of Akron Ohio

[@marcelstjean]

+TheSmreeder thank you. in a year from noe we might look at bying a house outside edmonton..

[@4HitsWilystyle]

holy crap! so much for what ya get!! renting is such a scam! I hope it was really worth it move out there. best of luck bro, hope all goes well for you and Shelly!

[@marcelstjean]

+4HitsWilystyle thanks man. life all good. hope your doing well.

[@paperweightgirl]

Your tenants did leave a major mess. ;0( I'm glad you and Shelley finally found a place. Cheers to your new home. By the way, don't get trillium movers to help you move. I heard they rip people off and you don't get all your stuff back. ;0)

[@marcelstjean]

+paperweightgirl so? when??

[@joedugas9462]

my daughter just got a place on 112 ave and 97th....iffy neighborhood...but a real nice place. both floors..no garage but a triple parking pad..fenced...1400+ utilities.

[@MrJujitsu62]

I feel your pain Marcel . Most landlords idea of pet friendly is , FRIGIN GOLD FISH FRIENDLY !!! Electric heating ...electric bill would put you in the poor house . Considering the oil industry is in the dumpsters ; rent sure is pricey out there still !!!!

[@marcelstjean]

+Don Blake sooo expensive out here.. for everything. when i went back to ontario i felt like a millionair..lo.

[@geargriden19]

Always funny when people want to rent out nasty houses @ top price! After winter we're going to be house hunting again. I think i'd haul that shit to their front door, kick it out and say here! Glad you all found something, i know the moving stress too well. Can you link me to the link below to the link touring the house? I've finally found some good deals on Ferd trucks, after i done went and bought another truck. Have a good'nnnnnnnnn

[@JeffTheFarmer365]

Ah nice to see Nait again. haven't seen that in 20 years. Edmonton is such a shit hole I don't go many places here no more. spend all my time up north.

[@marcelstjean]

+Randy Bobandy ya man.

[@HarveySpooner]

Marcel, Owning a house has its issues, renting and having to move has its issues... Y did we ever move out of our parents basement..?. Oh yea, there were even bigger issues there...

[@johnny22470]

What does it cost to buy a small house outside the city? Is that an option or too expensive still? Then you don't piss away your money to a landlord.

[@johncarlosbe]

hey marcel is your new place in the same area as your old one.

[@marcelstjean]

+johncarlosbe not far.

[@10lauset]

Anything changed since the release of this vid? Are pets OK now that the economic situation had changed for the worse?

[@marcelstjean]

Holy crap yes so much has changed.this vid is from 2015.lol.

[@johnhouston4899]

Those houses you looked at would be 400 a month there in Oklahoma city. Cheapest in the U.S.

[@marcelstjean]

+john houston shits expensive out here.

[@johnhouston4899]

Prob because here in this state not much to do then romp. Other then that we don't have much more to do here.

[@maeganbyerley]

Lol come to BC's Lower Mainland 1200 would get you a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment.

[@marcelstjean]

We ended up buying a house 1 hour outside of Edmonton. A called of 1,025 ppl. Thorsby Alberta.

[@maeganbyerley]

@@marcelstjean nice, i have been there before

[@marcelstjean]

@@maeganbyerley Thorsby?

[@maeganbyerley]

@@marcelstjean Yes. For awhile I lived in Edmonton. My mom had friends in Thorsby. To be honest I liked visiting because of how quiet it is.

[@marcelstjean]

@@maeganbyerley It's a nice little town.

[@Smoott69]

Housing in Edmonton can be kinda a pain in the arse. Location Location Location. Once ya get moved I will gotta come have some beers.

[@marcelstjean]

[@skiddy8619]

That sucks that they left such a mess, glad ya guys found a descent house some of those were, not so nice. Why does it cost so much to live there?

[@marcelstjean]

+skiddy8619 yard to find a decent place . unless you have big big bucks. why? oil.. google it... crazy money out here.

[@wynd8495]

look in south edmonton

[@sc0tte1-416]

Damn it's cheap to live out there, I though Alberta costed tons of $$ to live lol

[@marcelstjean]

+sc0tte1 ya man easy peasy out here..lol.

[@wiseman4160]

scOtte1 Edmonton has one of the most affordable housing in Canada.

[@redneckbryon]

Almost as bad as house hunting for a house you're buying, lol Did you know landlords cannot exclude you just because you have pets they are considered a member of the family

[@redneckbryon]

+marcelstjean interesting, some good information to know, I meant to say this earlier one way you can find out if a place is well maintained talk to the neighbors.

[@boardingpass04]

If you have seen the way people leave the houses after pets I wouldn't rent my house to anyone I didn't know personally

[@marcelstjean]

+boardingpass04 some ppl have no respect. makes us all look bad.

[@boardingpass04]

marcelstjean yeah its true i wont get another pet just for that fact im always renting houses in different tows working

[@freebirth-vf3ec]

shelly! I miss you!

[@marcelstjean]

+freebirth2005 Shelley says hey.

[@omega4chimp]

Everybody should never live in Edmonton and move out to Calgary.

[@marcelstjean]

+joe biden depends..

[@adambranco5673]

joe biden Calgary has shity houses just like Edmonton

[@righthandstep5]

@@marcelstjean not depends. It's a fact Calgary's better.

[@righthandstep5]

@@adambranco5673 not even close. Edmonton is worse by far for housing and location.

[@marcelstjean]

@@righthandstep5 Well I'm in Thorsby now. So both places can eat me..lol. I'll still visit though. lol

[@davidbull9162]

I like watching Shelley walk--especially when she's wearing those black pants!

[@marcelstjean]

me too.

[@frdradio]

Duuuuuude. That really did look like hell. I enjoy Canada on visits and in videos, but if that is what the rental housing market is like then there is no way I could live there! Fucked. Anyways, cheers dude.

[@ready40111]

It's like that in most major cities. Considering they're trying to find a house close to Shelly's job, they're probably looking in the downtown area. As you can see from some of the houses, some are next to newly built ones. That's the revitalization of the area. Unless they're willing to shell out some serious cash for a decent house, it's better for them to look on the outskirts of Edmonton.

[@marcelstjean]

+Roman DiFranco ya man we are right in the city... big bucks. 1 year lease the we might look at buying a house on the outskirts.

[@quickdrawmcgraw6396]

nice!

[@marcelstjean]

+QuickDraw McGraw cheers.

[@javafunk]

better in E-town than staying in 705!

[@marcelstjean]

I'm in Thorsby now. I miss 705 big time. 'HOME'

[@javafunk]

@@marcelstjean the donavan was my stomping grounds... but 705 sucks your enthusiasm for life. ...but yea, will always be HOME

[@marcelstjean]

@@javafunk I would move back. I missed the bush hunting,fishing and the endless trails.

[@Leafgirl99]

Your from Sudbury originally? I lived in Edmonton, Lethbridge and Calgary. Now living outside of the Sudz and LOVE my house. No way I was getting a house like this in Edmonton for $249,000. Rented in Clarview and Abbottsfield. Worked downtown for 6 years. Can’t say I miss anything about Edmonton other then a few friends I made.

[@marcelstjean]

@@Leafgirl99 Yes born and raised. prices are insane out here found a nice place inThorsby 200,000 I like all the concerts that go to edmonton. But yeah i would move back home. Sudbury.

Build new houses in Edmonton.

[@marcelstjean]

+joe biden you do?

[@omega4chimp]

I could but the bank that the work going to the bank taking out loan and never paying off a house means capitalism never worked you got to lie all the the time in capitalism, go on ei or workers compensation.

Edmonton is a dump. Take it from an actual Edmontonian, Calgary is better for housing and driving and even then best place to live on Earth is Denmark, New Zealand, or Sweden.
