First-time buyers jump into housing market
Nicole Dyck rented with friends and dreamed of buying her own home until the day it suddenly seemed right to make her move. "Living with two boys motivates you to buy your own place and not have to clean up after anyone else," says Dyck, a 27-year-old call-centre worker with Fortis Alberta. "I just wanted to have my own place and my own space." Last May, she bought a duplex in a condominium complex in Airdrie, a bedroom community for Calgary, just as interest rates were at 30-year lows and affordability was returning to real estate markets across Canada. |
