Many Albertans may be looking for a side hustle or to family members to help cover the high cost of housing, a new poll suggests.
RBC's Home Ownership Poll found that challenges are continuing to mount for those looking to buy a home amid Canada's heated housing market.
When it comes to Alberta, RBC said nearly 58 per cent of residents here are considering a second job or "side hustle" to help afford a home. RBC said 76 per cent of next-time home buyers in Canada feel the housing market in their community is overpriced and 64 per cent say they won't be able to buy in the current market.
The poll was conducted online, between Jan. 25 and Feb 23, on a sample size of 2,824 Canadians aged 18 to 64.
