It’s no secret that Calgary has become an increasingly more expensive city to live in. With increased inter-provincial and international interest, Calgarians can barely afford the cost of living.
Many Calgarians even reported they’ll need a second job to afford a home.
The average cost for a detached home in the city in January was $758,957, according to the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB), a notable 12% increase year-over-year.
If you’ve found yourself among the majority struggling to get into the housing market and are pinching pennies to afford a home, these five homes under $500,000 are a great place to start.
