Do you ever dream of moving to a completely different province in Canada?
While I would certainly miss the great “PNW” as we affectionally call it (the beautiful mountains, ocean, rivers, temperate weather year-round, endless outdoor activities, and collection of a diverse group of cultures) the real estate markets in other parts of Canada have a lot to offer for $500,000!
Recently CTV News compiled a showcase of homes across a number of suburban cities in Canada to compare. Check out the link for pictures or the below table for a quick comparison.
