Me and the wife earn a decent amount (200k ish combined income per year) and damn it\u2019s a mission to find a place. Granted we\u2019re upgrading where we\u2019re trying to find a 3 or 4 bed with a finished basement and a yard and it\u2019s like me trying to get a Moonswatch. We made an offer on a house in Markham (400 over asking) and lost out due to another offer with 50 bucks more. WTF? Also they called our employers, checked out our social, called our previous landlords, asked for bank statements\u2026the works. This is nuts! It was like a friggin job interview. <\/p>\n<p>My question is\u2026how difficult is it to get a house in GTA? Do you really go through stringent checks and how many offers roughly does it take before one gets accepted? (New to Canada so it\u2019s a bit of a surprise to us).
