What our St. Albert mortgage brokers are saying:
St. Albert is another one of those pricey suburbs that seem to out pace the main center. It has been a great city for those tied to the housing market like our mortgage brokers, and it looks to continue to be a great market. Our clients make good money and the ones who owned previously have done very well in the market. Its tougher for first time buyers but this recent drop may bring more clients back into the market who weren't able to get in last time.
