I find it funny the housing prices in this city, probably one of the most out of whack real estate markets in the world. Ussually when people pay big money to buy a house in a certain region, they pay for things like climate, conviencence, living close to water(lake or ocean), arts and culture of that area....yeah Calgary has none of that. Why on earth would I want to pay $500000 here for a house, when I could get the same one for half that in the GTA, or even in Montreal. This just in.....nothing great about Calgary(aside from the hockey team).
Lots of jobs and high paying ones...and for most people that would first on their list....Vancouver for example..lots for foreign or out of province investment in there realestate market...lots of revenue property in that city..which for the most part prices your average person out of the city...but makes renting cheaper....
