- Despite ongoing uncertainty in the Canadian housing market, a new study conducted by Léger Research and commissioned by Aviso suggests a correlation between credit union membership and achieving home ownership.
- When it comes time to purchase a home, credit union members have a higher average budget than non-members, at $708K and $634K respectively.
- Credit union members are also significantly more likely to disagree that saving for a down payment is a financial challenge (30 per cent versus 19 per cent of non-members).
- "Building prosperous communities is a core credit union value, and it's gratifying to see this reflected in the research."
