Any way good luck in finding a house.

No realtor yet Bill. Still in the looking stage. Yes, some late springs and early winters there but I enjoyed all of my time in Thompson.

I will keep that in mind.

if you need me to you can PM me with some addresses you are interested in and I can take some strait up pics of the front and let you know what the area is like.

Thanks for the offer. May do when the time comes. We are still just looking, until the kids make the final decision. I think they are going out in a month to look for a place.

I was even looking at a place up in Blue River but thinks thats to much commute.

as for taxes....do your own research....you'll find municipal taxes are among the highest...compared to similar sized cities across canada....and they have continually been going up.
Brand new houses, 3-4 bedroom, can expect to pay between 4-5K a year.

nope I went and talked to the city, and asked them if they were more interested in water concervation or with which day and they said the third day is better and they made a note on my property file about it.

I don't find the taxes that bad, in Leduc they were higher and I don't see how a brand new 3 bedroom house is going to pay 2500 to 3500 more than my 3 bedroom house. Maybe if you have one of the 800000.00 buck houses in the fancy areas but a normal house will be no where near that much.
