9 Places In Canada to Own A Retirement Home For Under $100,000!

 

Have you ever thought how nice it would be to "Cash Out" and retire to a simpler life?  Is it even possible anymore with todays rising home prices?  I came across this article today written by Business Advice Source - 9 Places In Canada To Own A Retirment Home For Under $100,000.00 - and found it very intriguinig so thought I would share it AND I decided to test their theory by taking a look at what is actually for sale in each town as they have suggested.  I've listed their recommended 9 locations below with links to actual current listings in each town.  I also found it interesting that 2 of their locations were in Ontario!  Turns out you don't have to go too far to find beautiful and affordable places to spend your retirement years.  "While Canada is lovely, buying a home here can get a bit expensive, especially if you’re looking in a big city. If you venture a little further outside Canada’s cities, though, you’ll find small towns with affordable costs of living".  

  1. Good Spirit Lake, Saskatchewan (White sand beaches, warm summertime lake, and a Golf Course)
    • 102 Spruce Dr. Burgis, Saskatchewan - $98,500 will get you a 1 bedroom bungalow...not sure it's entirely retirement worthy as it says its "seasonal" but hey it's got lake views! 
  2. Monkton, New Brunswick (Top notch Health Care, Lovely Parks, and plenty of museums
    • 24 Barnaby ST, Moncton, New Brunswick - $79,900 will get you a 2 bedroom bungalow with loft, in town and walking distance to amenities....needs a little work but could be fairly nice with some minor TLC!
  3. East Coulee, Alberta (A unique small town with warm summer temps, and only 1 1/2" to downtown Calgary)
    • 454 River Drive E, East Coulee, Alberta  - $109,000 gets you a spacious 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom bungalow, however it is being sold "As Is".  To be honest I had a hard time finding anything in this very remote small town that looked good for retirement!
  4. Trois-Rivières, Quebec (A quaint riverside community with lots of museums, and a riverfront promenade for daily strolls)
  5. Saint John, New Brunswick - (Seaside town in the Bay of Funday and has North Americas oldest Farmers Markets)
  6.  Rimouski, Quebec (a riverside city located on the St. Laurence River known for its museums and cultural life)
  7. Manitou Beach, Saskatchewan (Mineral filled Manitou Lake is said to have theraputic qualities)
    • 306 Lake AVE, Manitou Beach, Saskatchewan - $179,900 (I went a little over the budget on this one because I really liked it, and still think its a great find!) for a beautiful lake front cabin complete with vaulted ceilings and mostly furnushed.
  8. Elliot Lake, Ontario (a northern ontario town, great for outdoor activities, and has a hospital and golf course)
  9. Thunder Bay, Ontario (another northern Ontario city on the shore of Lake Superior with an abundance of on water and land actvities.  Plenty of amenities nearby by)
