About half of GTA residents say they would consider leaving to buy property in one of Canada’s more affordable cities, according to a new Royal LePage survey.
The online poll, which surveyed 900 Canadians aged 18 and older living in the country’s three largest urban centres, found that about 50 per cent of respondents would consider buying a property in one of Canada's most affordable cities “if they were able to find a job or work remotely.”
"It's clear that lifestyle is an important factor in Canadians' decisions about where to buy a home," Karen Yolevski, the chief operating officer of Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd., said in a written statement. Thunder Bay was identified as the country’s most affordable city, followed by Saint John, Red Deer, Trois-Rivières and Edmonton.
“Many aspiring homeowners in the country's largest and priciest urban centres are seriously considering relocating to less expensive cities in order to get a foot on the property ladder.” Disabled Ajax mother on Toronto Eras Tour ticket sale: 'It's completely inaccessible'Infant dies in ATV crash, N.S.
