$50k will get you, on average, just under $3,300 a month (as a single person). $100,000 at a good rate will cost you about $600. It is not luxury but it is perfectly doable.

$50k net is over $4k a month. More than enough to service a $600 mortgage with plenty left over.

You'll be fine. Good luck in Sardis, one of my favourite places.

According to the OP the $50k is net so presumably the gross salary is nearer $70k?

Sounds like a pretty good salary compared with what alot of the companies are paying here and you should have no probs covering a mortgage that size. There are quite a few of us on here that live in Sardis and everyones very friendly. Just shout if you need advise and am sure one of us here will help out...

Re: Salary Needed For Sardis BC?
Thanks everyone, great advice. I was over last November for another reccie and have settled on Sardis as best place for us and the kids. Company is in Abby so just a short whizz into town from there. Greendale looks really nice and has now overtaken my initial fav of Promontoty heights.
50K is net and I will have something from the sale of our own house should we stick it out for a year or two. Will be renting initially so advice on rentable properties in that area appreciated.
Many Thanks Again,
Neil.
