$6100/year. What kind of a house do you live in? I live in a house worth over 500k, and my taxes are less than $3000 a year. I'm paying $208.00/month
I found that Calgary was expensice at first, and that was a few years ago. alot of the cost of Calgary is relative. Right now today, it seems expensive, but Calgary was far more expensive than Edmonton when I first moved here in 1999. Today the price I paid for my house is cheaper than the average price in Edmonton, but my wage is still higher than if I had the same job in Edmonton. Alot of this is based around timing.
I don't know what the prices in Winnipeg were like 8 years ago, but I would bet that they were alot cheaper 8 years ago than Calgary was 8 ago. It's all relative.
