Those taxes you quoted for a new house are the same or worse here. Winnipeg & Brandon are terrible for property taxes.
I cant compare as thats one thing I have not checked yet, but have been told its similar or cheaper than here.
I asked if hydro rates were going up Steve because of the smart meters they are app. switching to?? Would guess its to cover that cost. Cant comment on gas, as all electric but Mike should know, he has gas. Not much difference in hydro rates at present.
Why did you pick there from Victoria Steve, if you dont mind me asking.
I,m looking as family members, {daughter & her husband, {and my boss} & grandkids}, are likely moving there. No to mention my brother lives in Langley. And although my oldest boy is still here in Manitoba, my youngest is in Hinton, just up #5.
However at this stage of life, cost of living is pretty important.
Perhaps something out a bit or in Chase or elsewhere not to far away.
