Might move out West Okanagan valley when I retire and rent out my house in Ontario.
They get a ton of snow near kelowna in the hills. My folks moved there 10-12 years ago from Alberta thinking they'd never have to shovel again. They bought a place on the edge of the snow belt and ended up buying a snow blower. Parts of the coca-cola highway and the connector towards Merrit require you to run winter tires or carry tire chains during the winter. I've never seen anyone out enforcing it but I assume if you crash and have all seasons you're screwed.
A ton of the houses around Kelowna aren't freehold(or whatever the term for actually owning it is) , they're on leased land owned by the local reserves. I wouldn't want to buy a house for $600,000 and have 10 years remaining on the 100 year lease, hoping it'll be renewed when it's done along with the extra expense. But I guess houses with hoa fees are common in some areas. Like lot fees in a trailer park lol.
