Funny place names and fun with search

Shannen and I are shopping for a new house. Ottawa isn’t as crazy as Calgary, but we’re still looking at more than $250,000 for a single family home.

Out of curiosity, I searched the area of Saskatchewan that our family is from on mls.ca. There are homes starting under $10,000, but nicer homes are over $100,000.

And then I came across one that opened with “Enjoy the relaxed & peaceful lifestyle that the community of Eyebrow has to offer.” Eyebrow, SK. One of the many interesting place names in the province. Others include:

  • Elbow
  • Climax
  • Semans
  • Smuts
  • and of course Moose Jaw

You could also be in the market for a whole mess of land. How does 3000 acres grab you?

Or you could move to one of Jason’s favourite places, Windthorst, SK
.

MLS is fun!

Jen - Wow you could live like a King in Windthorst! Imagine a $250K house there? Although you would be subjected to taking your old job back at Roluf’s Esso. 😐 And therefore would could not afford that house. So, nevermind.

I have an addiction to mls. Did you check out the Calgary listings? There is hardly anything worthwhile or affordable these days. You know it’s bad when there are bidding wars on grow-op houses. It’s insane!
