What the price of an average house in Alberta buys across Canada

Feb 17 2022, 6:34 pm

In January 2022, the price of an average detached house in Alberta ticked up to $511,743. That was up from the previous year by 13.8%!

So, we *tried* to see what house you could get for that price in major cities across the country, and, well, we had to lower our standards for some cities to find something in that price range (Vancouver and Toronto, get your housing markets under control.)

In some cities, for that price, we managed to find detached homes, others, well, you can only get an apartment for the price of a full home in Alberta. We also gave wiggle room of $10,000.

Let’s start this off with what you can find in Alberta around the average price for a detached home in the province’s two largest cities.
