Alberta Mortgage Brokers
Over the past decade, Alberta has become the engine that is driving the Canadian economy. Rich in natural resources (and thus jobs), Alberta has grown by leaps and bounds as Canadians move west to take advantage of the high paying jobs and great prairie lifestyle. With no provincial taxes, no provincial debt and a highly skilled and educated workforce, its little surprise that Alberta is a world leader in attracting people and investment.
Edmonton is the primary supply and service hub for Canada's oil industry and gateway to the North here in Alberta. This city has seen massive growth over the past few years and only recently has it started to slow down. Surrounded by several centers such as Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Leduc, Stony Plain, Fort Saskatchewan and Spruce Grove, Edmonton proper is a very large geographical and populous area. Calgary, Alberta's largest city and a major distribution and transportation hub, also claims to be the new center of commerce in Western Canada, as many head offices have been moved to the business friendly center. Airdrie and Cochrane are both on the outskirts of Calgary, and are popular suburbs of the city. Other important municipalities in the province include Red Deer, Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, Lloydminster, Banff, Medicine Hat, Lethbridge and Jasper. Between the oil sands to the north, the majestic mountains to the west, the farm lands to the East and the commerce to the south, Alberta's economy is as diverse as its people.
The Calgary-Edmonton Corridor is one of the densest urban areas in Canada. The region covers a distance of roughly 400 km north to south. A 2003 study by TD Bank Financial Group found this stretch of corridor to be the only Canadian urban centre to achieve a U.S. level of wealth while maintaining a Canadian style quality of life.
For those not wanting to be in the middle of it all, there are a number of sleepy agricultural towns as well, Vegreville, Camrose and Vermillion all being examples. Alberta has no end of options for those looking for something different. And of course, Verico Mortgage Options Ltd has all the mortgage options needed for the different property types you can come across; not to mention Alberta's best mortgage rates!
Alberta is the largest producer of crude oil and natural gas in the country. The oil sands in Fort McMurray, have estimated non-conventional oil reserves to be approximately 1.6 trillion barrels. This (black) gold rush has created thousands of jobs in the area (which boasts Alberta's highest income earners) and has been the primary reason behind the mass movement toward Alberta from other parts of Canada.
Of course those wanting to get out onto one of Alberta's many lakes, there are plenty of places to do this as well, Slave Lake, Sylvan Lake and Pigeon Lake just to name a few. Albertans are known for working hard and enjoying the fruits of their labour. Every weekend throughout the summer the lakes and campgrounds in Alberta are buzzing with activity!
