Lethbridge's average home price of approximately $340,000–$390,000 puts most purchases well below the $500K CMHC insurance threshold for better rates. Combined with no LTT, Lethbridge buyers face closing costs that are a fraction of what buyers in other provinces pay.
The University of Lethbridge area is particularly strong for buyers interested in rental income potential. Student housing demand keeps vacancy low and rents stable. A buyer purchasing a $380,000 home with a legal suite in this area saves $4,975 in LTT vs. Ontario — and may generate $900–$1,200/month in rental income from the suite.
