Moved to Calgary from the Ottawa area back in 2019 and man I'm glad I made that decision, yes the weather can be a challenge but overall looking at all the pro's and con's Alberta was a smart move, not perfect then again nothing is perfect, cost of living is cheaper for sure you will retain more of your net income vs living in Ontario for sure.
Welcome! And totally, the weather is a pretty small con in the grand scheme of things. Especially when there are quite a few parts of Canada that can experience pretty cold Winters.
@@CurtisOnUA-cam Best move I ever made, Alberta is a great place, cost of overall living is cheaper, no HST tax just the damn GST on all goods purchased, houses here in Calgary are about 25 to35% cheaper, Alberta has the lowest gas prices at the pumps, right now it's at about $ 1.18 per Litre, property taxes are much lower, and we have the lowest unemployment in the country, despite recession fears Alberta is looking much better overall, if you are a Liberal minded person you may find it hard to find friends, Alberta is a very Conservative based atmosphere, Calgary has about a population of 1,309,000, 4th largest city in Canada , the scenery of the mountains is amazing, like any location no place is perfect, Calgary has it's problems as well, winter's are a little longer but all n all after living in Ottawa and Toronto for most of my life I wish I had made the move to Alberta years ago !, so if you decide to relocate and want to settle in Alberta you will not be disappointed , good luck ! Cheers from Calgary
@@catinthehat5080 thank you for such a detailed response! Every time I read something about Calgary/Alberta I’m like wait … I save money? it makes me laugh thinking I can save money in so many different aspects these days but man it really seems like the right move for me. Well I hope you keep having a great time and cheers man!
Kudos to you on making these great informative and inspiring videos. Moving ON to AB was the best decision ever that I made! (After living in ON for 25 years). Yes AB weather is unpredictable, however; if you are from northern ON you are used to the unpredictable weather. The pros of living here in AB cuts the cons for me. My two cents to ON & BC - take a trip to AB to enjoy & experience the best side of Canada! It's worth it 😉
Moved from USA to alberta , I was skeptical but after 6 months in edmonton, I thubj I found my for ever place . Managed to buy a house a month ago and have no regrets moving to edmonton
Awesome! Thanks for sharing! I’m not sure where in the US you’re from but a lot of people say Alberta is the Montana/Texas of Canada. Welcome to Alberta and welcome to Canada!
I moved here from BC I lived In BC for 33 years and I love it there 😊 But I would never move back, I love it in Alberta its the best province in Canada.
.. i lived in toronto for 30 years. im now 40 and in 2020 my wife suggested to me that we make a change in our lives for the better and move to Calgary alberta to have a more comfortable & fun life because toronto was getting way to expensive and uncomfortable to retire in.. i hated the idea of it and wasn't anywhere interested in leaving toronto and everyone i knew. but after a few years researching and watching youtube videos about Calgary.. i started to realize that toronto was not the right city that i wanted to live in anymore and calgary was where i needed to be.. So in march 2022 we packed up everything said goodbye to everyone we knew, sold our house and left toronto for Calgary. And its definitely by far been the best move we've ever made and we absolutely love Calgary and will in no way be moving back to that crazy flat landscaped city. not because we now live here in Calgary.. but because our lives are so much better here with the open spaces, endless bike trails, walking trails hiking, the mountains, kayaking, and so, so, so much more .. now some of our friends over in toronto see what we see and are trying to make the move here to... we now own 2 homes here in Calgary...something we could never afford in toronto and we're so happy and privileged to be here in this wonderful mountain city.. 😃.. thanks
@@Bambotb ..i totally get where your coming from with this question but anywhere you move to in ontario or B.C the housing prices will still be way higher then in Calgary alberta and in Ontario I'd still need to take out a mortgage.. selling and moving from toronto to calgary allowed me to pay off my mortgage in full, all credit card Debts and car payments then in Calgary to buy a way bigger & nicer house in cash with still having hundreds of thousands left over for my future..so for me it was a smart thing to do being in my 40's plus my job was not located everywhere ontario and driving far to get to work was something i didn't want to do....i know this is not something for everyone but it worked out amazing for me...as for the weather its a different climate in Calgary.. its a dry cold and it dose get super cold in calgary but that lasts for just a few days then we have Chinook winds that come in over the mountains causing it to warm right up to sometimes +10 melting all the snow.. and this happens a lot... i find toronto to be just as cold most times and the snow sits there till spring ..calgary is still a big city so most time i can't tell the difference... for me the juice was well Worth the squeeze moving to Calgary..
@@Bambotb .. all of this had nothing at all to do with my job.. but it did have everything to do with how the housing market in toronto changed .the housing market had jumped up like crazy so selling high and buying low was a great option..the problem was everything in ontario was high.. houses in Calgary are half the price of homes in toronto and Vancouver depending on what you want... so selling a house for 1.2 million in toronto...you can definitely afford to buy a way bigger and nicer house in Calgary with no mortgage at all, and still have money left over if you plan things out right.... it all depends on what you want out of life...and how far you want your money go for you.
Only downside with Alberta real estate is it doesn't appreciate in value as much as ON/BC. However for younger people that are starting out, the much cheaper prices are very attractive.
Yeah we have the gift, and curse of space here so housing demands can be met pretty easily by continuing to develop land. I say gift and curse because it does create more affordable housing, but also urban sprawl. From an investment stand point though, relying or assuming on appreciation is purely speculation where as cash flow from properties here is much stronger. And totally, for young people starting out, they have more opportunity to build a life.
@@AnimeBeefRandomsIt has something to do with the past economy of Alberta. People never paid attention at Alberta before pandemic happened, unless you are from O/G industry. But now things changed. Mainly due to Toronto and Vancouver’s housing affordability issues. And Toronto and Vancouver will only get worse. Because of this Alberta is entering a new era now. My two cents.
Left Alberta 15 years ago and moved to BC. There is a reason why you see 1000's of Albertans in BC during the summer and winter - big money to be made in Alberta but big fun to be had in BC. If you can get well establish in a solid BC real estate market, you'll be capable of affording a house anywhere in Canada. Plus, you'll likely see a higher ROI over a shorter period of time due to the higher demand for BC housing. The only promise of living in the "promised land of Alberta" is that you will have to travel to other places for vacations.
@@AllThingsRealEstate Yeah that's how I found your video. It caught my attention as I have this discussion with my family often (all living in Alberta). I recognize that there are nice places in Alberta and the cost of living is cheaper, but for me "is it worth moving to" - no.
@@daviddixon8538 I thought it was a total shot in the dark but the name and timeline was just too close. I ran into your sister last night at the Snowflake Festival in St. Albert haha. It’s definitely a conversation with a lot of layers. And the price appreciation in housing you’ve seen since leaving Alberta is incredible so that is an amazing windfall for your family. Leaving paradise to cash in that equity definitely isn’t for everyone. But if you’re in your early twenties and completely priced out of the market, Alberta isn’t a bad compromise. 🙂
NOT true anywhere u invest if people live there it will sell. I bought a house for 30,000 and sold back for 420,000 cash. i retired at 30 years old and never own anything in Torronto or BC not interested caus ei am allergic to debt i love my freedom and hate owing anyone.
Conrad was really fun to talk to and it was pretty random how we got to chatting. I was just doing my vlog thing and he asked what I was up to then volunteered to be in the video in case it would be helpful for people. 👍 Kelowna is beautiful. I love going there but that’s such a big mortgage for anyone starting out. Just do what pretty much every Albertan does, vacation in Kelowna. 🤙
Thank you Mike for sharing this information . Going through your videos right now in ON and with my family we have finally taken a firm decision to move to AB end of April 2023. Do you also assist with finding rental property?
Awesome, exciting things ahead in 2023 for you and your family! 🙂 I specialize in buying and selling but I can certainly point you in the right direction. Shoot me an email if you like.
I want to move from ON to AB. Finishing my trades course down here soon and when I get some good experience I'll start looking for employment in AB. I think AB can give a much better life for my family than ON can.
We are in Quebec and we are tired of discrimination, stupid laws, we dont send children to kindergarten because teachers are allowed to talk daily about sex with children under 5, roads are back and cars take alot of damage from roads, income is low and taxes are high, however rural Quebec is generally good and has alot of used things that are cheap to buy… overall when you work and you make money alot of people are angry with you and will punish you for being happy… alot of people are rude and ignorant friends are extremely hard to make… even if you speak French but cant say a word properly people consider you as something less then a human… some call it racist other call it rude but most people are depressed and worship satanism some admit it others say they are just atheist, but I have not met many people with genuine heart and those that I have met have been not easy to come by and they live not an easy life…. I think Alberta has some people like that also but over all most likely Alberta will never turn into such trashy place like Ontario or Quebec has become… every content creator I meet out of Alberta has been positive happy and full of Joy, Me and my family are moving to Alberta and it will be our last place to try in Canada to find a good happy life, if that doesn’t work out we will leave Canada, but something tells me that Alberta is that far away place that we wanted to find for so long! Wish us luck please! Alberta is not near and its the most difficult and expensive move of our lives!
If you were to move to Alberta you won't regret it, I have most of my family still living in Quebec and all I hear is negative feedback but they remain there anyways, not sure why but what am I to say !
@BeAFamily, Alberta is worth a shot and we’d love to have you! I can honestly say that I’ve never been to Quebec so I cannot at all relate to what you’re speaking of, but I have never experienced anything here in Alberta like you’re describing.
It's really the weather that's giving me doubts, we have barely had any snow at all here here in Toronto and it's Jan.21st and it's been above freezing almost every day.
I definitely don’t want to paint the wrong picture, the weather can be tough. We’re having a pretty mild Winter this year though, it was pretty cold at the beginning of Winter but in Edmonton it’s all above zero highs this week. The best advice I can give is to come and visit here during the Winter. Too many people come in the Spring/Summer, fall in love, and then get really surprised when Winter hits. Hope that helps!
@@AllThingsRealEstate It certainly does, thank you. At the end of the day weather doesn't compare to freedom and right now it looks like our only hope for freedom in this country is Alberta. It's our version of Florida...... minus the weather of course. :)
Awesome, it’s not perfect, but a pretty good place to live. 🙂 There will be a lot of options for $250,000, just depends on your expectations and where you end up deciding to move to.
I moved to BC from Alberta and I find the argument of expense in bc is only valid if you don’t consider the big picture of life and what you love to do. Housing costs went up bc but Utilities dropped huge. So that balanced out. Gas was more expensive but we have to drive so much less so our gas bill is half. I used to spend obscene amounts on the winter “escape” that everyone in Alberta does. Mexico. Whatever. I love where I live now and have so much less desire to travel. And I won’t get started on the Alberta political scene and values. I find it’s pretty much the exact same price if you consider everything. And you love the ocean and forest etc.
All fair points and I appreciate the contribution to the conversation. 🙂 I lived in Vancouver for about 4 years so I can relate to some of the things you’re saying. I actually sold my vehicle while I lived there because I found it more convenient (and cheaper) to take transit. The skytrain and busing there is a very well planned and efficient system. Parking was such a pain, expensive and so was gas. Thanks again!
great video. can someone talk about following please 1) health care and wait times. any private doctors? 2) asthma and allergy sufferers 3) if your job is not work from home, how do ppl manage to go work dec jan feb ? keep hearing go somewhere warm duting those times but do ppl have that much vacation days they can take?
I am contemplating moving to Alberta. Everything mentioned in this video is dragging me in. I currently own a condo in New Westminster. But I don't want to move to another province and go back to renting. Sadly I do need to sell so I can pay off some bills with my equity. Apparently, finance companies want you to be employed for 2 years Before they'll even give you a mortgage
Just don't expect job security. Got laid off working at ATCO Electric after 15 years. $18,000 paid for union dues for nothing. All it got me was paid off student loans I needed to get the job. And not even half way through a mortgage. $95,000 paid in interest to the bank so far. Now I live paycheck to paycheck.
Is there work in the construction sector in Alberta? Finishing carpenter here, sick and tired of Greater Toronto Area insane cost of living. ;) You are in Edmonton right?
Hi Mike, My sons are talking about moving to Alberta from BC. My youngest is keen on being a Vet. You're no doubt are aware of the Vet school there. We're presently living in a new Manufactured home that is 3 bed 2 bath 14 x 66. I was wondering if you can tell me of the best location for a 'family' mobile home park near the Vet school and what would it cost for a larger single wide or double wide hopefully less than 10 years old. Perhaps you have a realtor who specializes in manufactured homes? I have one here.
You’ll notice there are very few Alberta born people trying to move to Ontario…. Or most other places in Canada. Saskatchewan is the only other option.
The City of Calgary made plans a few years back to kick start 14? Subdivisions on the edge of the city. Hundreds of new homes being built. Alberta doesn’t have development constraints like the agricultural land reserve laws in BC or Ontario, or major natural boundaries holding back development. If you want to work, come. If you want to sit on your but collecting pogey, don’t come.
Hello. Thanks for the video. I'm considering immigrating to Alberta. I'm a Civil Engineer from India. Are there enough job opportunities here in Alberta? Thanks
I live in Quebec . I thought Ontario would be better for me and my family, but after some quick trips there last summer... I'm not so sure anymore. It seems the woke agenda / covid shit (people walking on the sidewalk alone with their mask on...or driving their car alone with their mask on...etc.) is even worst in Ontario :( I'm not happy about that. I know a lot of people who do not agree with the woke agenda but still they just ignore it. Homelessness is becoming a normality everywhere, so if your city has parks or beautiful places, they're mostly overrun by these degenerates. No one goes downtown anymore unless for a very quick trip to the bank or specialty store. City funding will of course go to these and all sorts of new projects for the zombies and the drug addicts is happening all over. Taxes on Quebecers have always been amongst the highest in North America. But none seem to care much about that either. I don't know why, but stupid/conquered mentality comes to mind...often... wtf is going on? So my question is, where is it safe, beautiful to live in Alberta? And as important, if not more, where are the most common sense (aka conservative) place to live in Alberta? My kids go to college so I need not be too far from them is possible. Thank you and God bless Canada.

I actually sold my vehicle while I lived there because I found it more convenient (and cheaper) to take transit. The skytrain and busing there is a very well planned and efficient system. Parking was such a pain, expensive and so was gas. Thanks again!
Well said! I’m so cold in Alberta….
Charming city views.

1) health care and wait times. any private doctors?
2) asthma and allergy sufferers
3) if your job is not work from home, how do ppl manage to go work dec jan feb ? keep hearing go somewhere warm duting those times but do ppl have that much vacation days they can take?

I am contemplating moving to Alberta. Everything mentioned in this video is dragging me in. I currently own a condo in New Westminster. But I don't want to move to another province and go back to renting. Sadly I do need to sell so I can pay off some bills with my equity. Apparently, finance companies want you to be employed for 2 years Before they'll even give you a mortgage
I would strongly advise coming out here and spending some time before making the decision. Especially during the Winter months.
@@AllThingsRealEstate I remember. I lived in Edmonton when I was a kid.
Best decision I made coming to AB from BC. Normal people with normal incomes have normal homes. What is this lunacy. 😆
Welcome to Alberta! And such a weird living concept we have here eh!? 🤣😂
Just don't expect job security. Got laid off working at ATCO Electric after 15 years. $18,000 paid for union dues for nothing. All it got me was paid off student loans I needed to get the job. And not even half way through a mortgage. $95,000 paid in interest to the bank so far. Now I live paycheck to paycheck.
Is there work in the construction sector in Alberta? Finishing carpenter here, sick and tired of Greater Toronto Area insane cost of living. ;)
You are in Edmonton right?
Tons of trades work here right now. 👌
How about the cost of utilities ? That will be an eye-opener for your viewers .
Go idea, I should make a video about that! 🙂
Hi Mike, My sons are talking about moving to Alberta from BC. My youngest is keen on being a Vet. You're no doubt are aware of the Vet school there. We're presently living in a new Manufactured home that is 3 bed 2 bath 14 x 66. I was wondering if you can tell me of the best location for a 'family' mobile home park near the Vet school and what would it cost for a larger single wide or double wide hopefully less than 10 years old. Perhaps you have a realtor who specializes in manufactured homes? I have one here.
You’ll notice there are very few Alberta born people trying to move to Ontario…. Or most other places in Canada. Saskatchewan is the only other option.
The only Albertan’s I personally know who have moved to Ontario were because they more or less had to for a job relocation. 🙂
please support alberta in our sovereignty act! don't move here thinking this is ontario or b.c pro liberal country
I'm gonna move there because I'm trying to avoid the nonsense in Ontario
The City of Calgary made plans a few years back to kick start 14? Subdivisions on the edge of the city. Hundreds of new homes being built. Alberta doesn’t have development constraints like the agricultural land reserve laws in BC or Ontario, or major natural boundaries holding back development. If you want to work, come. If you want to sit on your but collecting pogey, don’t come.
Yes it is totaly
Definitely makes sense for a lot of people. 👍
Hello there. I wish to move living in St Albert ,how do pleas to immigrate?
Hello. Thanks for the video. I'm considering immigrating to Alberta. I'm a Civil Engineer from India. Are there enough job opportunities here in Alberta?
Thanks
Are there any banking jobs available in Edmonton, Canada?
Totally. I personally have a few different friends and family members who work in various roles in the banking sector here.
@@AllThingsRealEstate Thanks for the reply ;)
NO! STAY HOME!
I live in Quebec . I thought Ontario would be better for me and my family, but after some quick trips there last summer... I'm not so sure anymore. It seems the woke agenda / covid shit (people walking on the sidewalk alone with their mask on...or driving their car alone with their mask on...etc.) is even worst in Ontario :( I'm not happy about that. I know a lot of people who do not agree with the woke agenda but still they just ignore it. Homelessness is becoming a normality everywhere, so if your city has parks or beautiful places, they're mostly overrun by these degenerates. No one goes downtown anymore unless for a very quick trip to the bank or specialty store. City funding will of course go to these and all sorts of new projects for the zombies and the drug addicts is happening all over. Taxes on Quebecers have always been amongst the highest in North America. But none seem to care much about that either. I don't know why, but stupid/conquered mentality comes to mind...often... wtf is going on? So my question is, where is it safe, beautiful to live in Alberta? And as important, if not more, where are the most common sense (aka conservative) place to live in Alberta? My kids go to college so I need not be too far from them is possible. Thank you and God bless Canada.

The LORD Yeshua Hamashiach is the only way to the Father and his kingdom. Repent of your sins accept him into your life as your LORD and Savior before it's too late, every day is not guaranteed.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.
May God bless you all.
I love Alberta. Less Liberals and NDP woke socialist.
Yup, I'm in small town conservative Alberta and love it. moved here from BC and will never look back.
You can't get a nice home in Calgary for 400k lol. Not even close
քʀօʍօֆʍ ❤️
I’m not sure what that means. 🤷♂️
It's worth it but leave the Pinkos at home
BC DEAD ZONE 😢😢
Don’t mind you all moving to Alberta , Just leave your woke liberal values behind…
Your own desires aside, Trudeau is the reason 90 percent of people outside of Alberta are lioking. And ANY one not fond of him cant be that bad
