Calgary affordability advantage is the reason Canadians are moving here. Want to start a family in an apartment in Toronto? Or come to Calgary for townhouse or detached home, with higher income & lower taxes!
The Calgary affordability advantage for the average family is outstanding. So when you look at the national news media and
hear that residential markets have dropped substantially, they are talking about Toronto, Vancouver, and other cities. The media does not often focus on the Calgary advantage. This is one of many reasons why Canadians are moving to Calgary. Plus we have jobs, high income, low gas prices & heating costs, and no PST!!!
