The average house in Calgary sold for $382,000 in January 2010. A good percentage of home buyers are taking 20 years or more to pay for that one purchase. For you to say $300K - $600K isn't much money is a bit tough to hear for people that are going to spend the majority of their working lives paying off their modest home. |
It just has to be put in context of income/profession in Calgary - the big chunk of Calgary's population in the O&G industry skews the discussion.
