Did you Know 1 in 3 Canadians live in households with financial difficulties?


Laddie James isn't just a Saskatoon and area eXp REALTOR®; he's your dedicated real estate partner, committed to helping you find the perfect home. In his latest article, he highlights recent Statistics Canada data on Canadian households' financial pressures.


A new Statistics Canada report reveals that one in three Canadians lives in households facing financial hardship. This includes difficulty paying for essential expenses like housing, transportation, food, and clothing. Renters (41.3%) are especially vulnerable, but financial stress eases somewhat for homeowners, particularly those without mortgages.

While the proportion of Canadians struggling financially in October 2023 (35.5%) dropped slightly compared to the previous year, it remains much higher than in October 2020 (20.4%). 
Despite growth in the Consumer Price Index slowing to 3.8% in September 2023, the cost of essential goods, particularly food and shelter, continues to outpace wage growth. Immigrants who have arrived in Canada within the past ten years, lone-parent households, and racialized groups like South Asian and Black Canadians are especially hard hit by financial challenges.


An October Ipsos poll reveals that 71% of Canadians feel owning a home has become a privilege only the wealthy can afford, with many citing a housing crisis in their communities. The strain is also evident in the rising use of food banks, which have seen an 80% increase in demand since March 2021.

Marla Explains Why She Moved To eXp Realty


First of all, I want to say thank you to everyone who’s supported me as I moved over to eXp Realty.  It’s been an exciting month meeting new people, exploring new places, and learning about the exciting online world of eXp Realty.

Being a Trusted Saskatoon Realtor, I enjoy giving my clients the highest level of service I can.  I am thrilled to be working with an international corporation who is forward-thinking and agent owned.  eXp Realty is a full-service real estate brokerage providing 24/7 access to collaborative tools, training, and socialization for real estate brokers and agents through its fully immersive, 3D cloud office environment.  It was a long and tough decision, but one I am whole heartily excited for and feel great about.  It is exciting to be part of a real estate company who is growing so quickly and easily offers support, networking, coaching, and mentorship to top realtors around the world.


I’m ready to make 2020 a great year of change and success.  Being a top producing agent in Saskatoon and area, I have been successful through many market changes, and now I can also offer my years of experience and award-winning results to help others in real estate do the same.  I’m happy to be partnered with Realtors® Chris Molenaar and Tara Knoblauch.  We have already established some great goals and programs to offer our clients, as well as, help agents on our team.


I am proud to be partnered with Westbow Construction as their Saskatoon, Warman, and area Realtor.  I have been working with them since they established here 7 years ago, and I am looking forward too many more exciting projects to come. Trusted Saskatoon Homeuilder Westbow Construction is committed to provide the best quality home for their clients and I’m proud to be a Trusted Saskatoon Partner alongside them.
