Re: Houses in Canada
I think its a universal problem - money grabbing property developers!!
oh by the way dont forget property tax (council tax equivalent) it can be very high sometimes, and very variable. In 'the peg, a typical 4 bed @ 2000sq ft could attract $4000 in a nice street, and then half a mile away on the same street (better end) a similar place of about the same size could be as much as $10000 per year.

On our bed condo in kits we were only paying around 120 bucks a month.

I can think of far less attractive cities in the UK. Edmonton actually has some very interesting and cutting edge architecture. The river valley and parks are beautiful. When the Northern lights brighten up the sky in the white of winter it is amazing.

Re: Houses in Canada
they sell gas by the litre in Canada, on account of the metric system - Although they do refer to a quarterpounder in McD's rather than the royale!!

Re: Houses in Canada
Thats right my call
everywhere I have lived in the UK so far, I have not liked whether Countryside or City but others may like where we have lived! Its all down to personal preference. Edmonton City may not be nice but there are plenty of areas outside of the city to consider. Plus we can always move else where. I will know more when I have my recce this year although street level on Google earth is very helpfull and will also assist us.

Re: Houses in Canada
BC has the highest, and Metro Vancouver has an extra carbon tax thing...so around 1.20 or so. Alberta is likely under a dollar.
