It may be nearly impossible to find affordable housing in Toronto and Vancouver, but if you cast a wider net, it’s not hard to find a house for sale well below the Canadian average.

Zoocasa analyzed more than two dozen housing markets to find the 10 most affordable regions in Canada. The real estate agency also rounded up a house for sale in each locale.

From Winnipeg to Edmonton, Thunder Bay to Saguenay, the average price of a home in each region comes in well below the national average 0f $807,400 (June 2022, seasonally adjusted), while recording at least 3.5% annual price growth from June 2021.
