These are the homes $1 million can get you across Canada

These days, finding affordable homes in Canada seems like an impossible task.

According to a new report from Royal LePage, if you’re shopping for property on a budget of $1 million, you’ll get a mixed bag of options.

“Depending on the market that you are shopping in, a $1-million home can mean something very different,” said Karen Yolevski, COO of Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd, in a release.

“Years ago, a $1 million budget could buy a generous amount of square footage and access to sought-after neighbourhoods in almost any market. Over time, however, we have watched the purchasing power of $1 million vary more widely between cities.”

Royal LePage examined the types of homes a budget of $1 million (plus or minus $50,000) could get you in the country’s major housing market and found that the average property within this range in Canada has 3.2 bedrooms and 2.1 bedrooms.

So, if you’ve got $1 million to spare, here are the homes you could buy in Canada right now.
