Alberta residents are keenly focused on the housing market, with 92 per cent of respondents believing that buying a home is a good investment, according to the 17th Annual RBC Homeownership Survey.
On a national level, Albertans are the most likely, 13 per cent, to say they are very likely to buy a home within the next two years, and among those looking to buy, they are also most likely, 40 per cent, to say they will buy within the next year.
Those who responded to the survey cite good housing prices and favourable interest rates as reasons to consider a home investment.
The survey also found Albertans put down the largest down payments in Canada, an average $85,434.
