Sorry, but I'm not paying 800K-1M for a townhouse, but that's what they go for around here.

In the meantime, I always avoid the word "luxury." That to me is a red flag whenever they plop that in front of anything. "Luxury" houses, townhouses, apartments, condos, cars, whatever. You're paying extra for a word.
Yeah people throw in that word hoping to draw attention to it. Yet, that word alone is what brings in more money. Cause some people fall to it. It sucks that it's becoming so expensive up there. I would've love to move up there one day. A regular 4 bedroom 2 1/2 bath house like that or so shouldn't cost in the 800k-1m range. Heck I've seen smaller houses cost way too much. I don't understand how someone can hope to sell it for so much. It's like someone bought it, had second thoughts, and thought they could make their money back and more.
