Hi folks, One of the things that has always frustrated me about Grande Prairie is the lack of market stats from their real estate board. The GPREB releases absolutely NO STATS whatsoever. They have political beef with the City, so there is no cooperation. CMHC manages to get their hands on...

I spoke directly with a regional manager for RBC and have confirmed that all RBC mortgages can be assumed in Alberta without qualification. This was for assuming into a personal name. Into a company is another story altogether. I think you`ll find many lenders are uncomfortable with this as...

Hi folks, A while back we released a market research report on Grande Prairie. Seeing as much of the information in this report is outdated now, I figured I`d post an update for those of you who might find it useful. This information will be available in a formal report in several weeks on...
