Lethbridge Real Estate - Student Housing Photo: University of Lethbridge at sunset by Robert May   University of Lethbridge and the Lethbridge College attract thousands of students to the city each fall.  I believe the total number of students enrolled now is around 15,000 and I would estimate that at least half of those come from outside of the Lethbridge and move here just to attend school.   With this new influx in population the Lethbridge real estate rental market is strongly affected.  Rent prices shoot up and vacancy rates drop to absolute zero.  Literally every basement suite, duplex, apartment, house, or rooming house is full by the end of August.   For those who are arriving in Lethbridge at this time of the month they are probably already finding that the choices of accomoda...

October 12, 2010 Lethbridge Real Estate - Where are Prices Headed?   I get asked at least once a week from a curious friend or past client to predict where prices are going in this crazy market.  Most often they are simply curious and not actually interested in buying real estate or selling real estate, but they are interest in making conversation about the issue.   Quite frankly, the economy in Lethbridge is strong.  Our unemployment rate is low, our vacancy rate is low, and most consumers are optimistic.  However, the same cannot be said of the rest of the world or our neighbors an hour south in the USA.   As the US market continues to crash, and I believe that it is only about half done so far, the Canadian Dollar will continue to rise.  I expect to see the Canadian Dollar reach $1.2...

 What’s the Neighborhood Like?  Riverstone is a beautiful area in West Lethbridge, just South of the University.  It is a collection of almost all single family homes, ranging just under 300,000 to over 1,000,000, (at the time of writing this in June of 2013).  Homes started being built in the Riverstone area in about 2002, and there are still many new homes being built there now.  Homes you will find in Riverstone will be more than 1,000 square feet, with garages (attached or detached), and ensuites. Lot sizes will vary.  There is a lot of greenspace and walking paths in Riverstone. There are many new homes being built in the south end of Riverstone that start around 300,000.  Many of the stars lottery homes have been built in Riverstone.

If you have been looking for a suited property that is truly turn key, at an affordable price, then look no further. 49 Rocky Mountain Blvd, has one of the best set ups ever for a non-conforming suited property. Both upstairs and downstairs are two bedrooms each (each bedroom is a good size), and the laundry is situated perfectly for sharing. There is plenty of parking on the double pad, even room for an RV at the side of the house. The owners just put up 30 year shingles, and new flooring. It comes with central vac, and there are even heated tiles in the downstairs bathroom. This is the perfect house if you are looking for revenue on the west side within walking distance to the university. This is also a great set up for someone starting out, wanting a little extra income and the chanc...
