Property prices in Alberta

Post new topic

Priscilla

Hello everyone,

Finding affordable housing in Alberta is number one priority for newcomers. Tell us more about the estate market in your district/city/region.

What are the most desired places to live? What are the most affordable ones? What is the average cost of a rented flat? And what is the average sale price for an appartment or a house? Could you tell us more about local real estate policies/procedures? What about property tax or residency tax in Alberta?

What about you? Where do you live now? Is it a place you would recommend?

Thank you in advance for your clarifications.

Priscilla

If you want affordable housing, try to move to Hungary. I found a 2 bedroom two bathroom condo in Cranbrook,BC fro $225,000 under 1100sqf of living space.  Same size condo in Hungary costs around $114,330. House prices are way overpriced in Canada.   In Calgary I found one bedroom condo starts at Low $300,000 downtone. A single family home around 1800 sqft starts at $385,000 and up with single garage.

But here is something special. I live walking distance ( 1.3km) from Fishcreek Park.  I walk my dog every other day in the park from home.
Our 3 bedroom 2.5 bathroom house worth in today's market, $385-$405k. At the park's edge, check out this place.  Two bedrooms two bathroom for sale.

Re-think about moving here.  there are way more affordable places you could live for less.

I checked out your Island and found that the real estate prices are just as expensive as here in Canada.
