Canada's Cheapest Mortgage City Might Surprise You

Most affordable mortgage city in Canada is not a Toronto or Vancouver question, and it is not even close to one. A fresh Royal LePage ranking puts the country's most affordable spots somewhere entirely different, working through mortgage aggregate prices city by city until landing on a windy Alberta answer nobody saw coming. The numbers get stranger from there. St. John's, New Brunswick posts an average house price under two hundred seventy thousand dollars, a figure that would barely cover a downtown studio in some major markets. Calgary gets weighed too, livable but not the cheapest, with its own affordability quirks around utilities and transit worth knowing before anyone packs a bag. The real question by the end is a personal one: if cost of living was the deciding factor, where in Canada would actually make sense to go.
