As beautiful as our home and native land is, many Canadian cities can be quite costly if you are on the hunt for a new place to live, one report found.

Additionally, amid the pandemic, the housing market in the country is staying historically strong, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association.

They say that home sales were up 35.2% and home prices increased by almost 22.8% from this time last year.* 

What's more, many cities are considered to be strong seller's markets, meaning it's worse to be a buyer right now according to Zoocasa.

It's not all bad news for buyers. Their report also showed the average house prices for several cities all over Canada.
