If you were wondering how much money you’d need to buy a house in Canada, the answer is a lot!

New research from Royal LePage Real Estate found that Canada’s aggregate home price right now is $749,165, which is a 14.1% year-over-year increase from the same time in 2020.

If you think that that price is high, experts at Royal LePage think it’s going to get even more expensive.

Royal LePage's Market Survey Forecast predicts that prices will rise to $805,000 by the end of 2021, with homes in the Greater Toronto Area and Greater Vancouver Area expected to cost $1,035,000 and $1,276,000 on average, respectively.

The reason property is so pricey right now, according to the company’s research, is because “strong demand continues to outpace supply in virtually every market across the country.”
