If you are renting, there is no bad time to buy. Paying your own mortgage is better than paying your landlord’s mortgage, at any interest rate. Home ownership does not limit your choice of work and travel. Why the Mayor is telling people to stay in rat race all they life?
Mayor Jyoti Gondek thinks not owning a home - being a renter is liberating and that homeownership is so outdated:
"We are starting to see a segment of the population reject this idea of owning a home and they are moving towards rental because it gives them more freedom...so

Apply that question to the ongoing public consultation on the annihilation of residential R-1 zoning in the whole city of Calgary. Ask your councillor this very question. Ask them how they are going to vote on April 22.

Federal Foreign Buyer Ban doesn’t distinguish investor or enduser, foreigners cannot buy “residential property” in certain areas -anywhere in Calgary-which consists of 3 residential units or under. So the old house-no they can’t buy; new builds kept on one title- yes they can!

If the builders don’t split the titles of a townhouses and sell the individually , they could sell them under one title. The federal Foreign Buyers Ban defines “residential” as “under three units”. So unless the city forces title to be split on completion that’s how.

Newer communities take notes- just because we are not in the way of first shockwave if the bylaw passes, it will come. Master planned communities have variable densities carefully planned within, our R1&R2 infrastructures are not designed for 1-8 splits. Neither our HOA system.
A joint letter signed by more than 40 community associations in Calgary is urging city council to vote against blanket rezoning, saying it won’t supply more affordable non-market housing options.
