By Adriana Noton


Edmonton, Canada is the capital of the Canadian Province of Alberta as well as being its 2nd largest city. Its river valley park is 22 times larger than Central Park in New York City. The many attractions of the area draw many people to the area who are seeking homes. Today, there is an excellent opportunity to find houses for sale in Edmonton that is well within anyone's budget.

An extra amenity for families with children is the excellent education system that is readily available for all students. Schoolchildren attend publically schools from kindergarten to grade 12. There are also charter schools, private schools and home schooling. There are also a large number of technical training schools as well as several universities for older students.

Edmonton is the sports lover's delight. Not only are there football, hockey and baseball leagues that a person can watch in competition, but endless opportunities for personal indoor and outdoor sports. Whether one likes, golf, tennis, swimming or shopping in the largest mall in the country, there is something for everyone. In addition, there is skiing and ice skating in winter as well as the opportunity to go camping, in summer, as well.

If a person is shopping for a home in this delightful city, they will find a vast array available, such as homes, townhomes, new homes, condos or apartments in a wide choice of locations. If one has children, there is no problem in finding a dwelling that is within walking distance of the school they will be attending. It is hard to believe the excellent places that are for sale at a very reasonable price.

Prices for a single family homes and condos are listed at a starting price of $100,000 and up, depending on what type of residence one is looking for. Some places are even lower in price while some go to a million dollars. An example is a 1000 square foot, 2 story end- unit townhouse which has 3 bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms. It has a basement, the yard is fenced and it has privacy. This townhouse sells for $189,500 and is in an excellent location.

There are few times in a person's life that they purchase a home. As with any financial arrangement, it is important that one choose a good real estate agent to deal with. The fact that there is a Real Estate Training Institution in the city that is connected with the Alberta Real Estate Association assures one that someone with this training is well aware of all the ins and outs of the transactions necessary for buying a home.

Canada is quite strict regarding the licensing rules of a real estate agent. After training and passing an examination, they are licensed to be a real estate associate. They must work in this position for two years before being able to take an examination to be a Real Estate Broker or work at some other job in the field. With this kind of a background and knowledge, it is obvious they will work diligently on one's behalf.

Such an agent will know which properties such as houses, new townhomes, new condos, or apartments that a person is looking for, are available. They are able to sit down, with any prospective buyer and, after determining the requirements and how much they wish to spend, determine just what will work out with the buyer's needs. Calgary Homes are reasonably priced as well as available to accommodate anyone's desire for his or her dream home.
