What This Shows

At the same $1M price point:

  • Toronto → 2 bed condo, 2-3 bed older home outside the downtown core
  • Calgary → large, upgraded family home
  • Rural Atlantic Canada → waterfront or luxury property


What This Signals for Buyers

$1M is no longer a “luxury” budget everywhere in Canada.

  • In major cities, it’s still competitive and limited
  • In other regions, it unlocks space, privacy, and lifestyle
  • Location continues to be the biggest factor in value
