Canada\u2019s benchmark home price of $750,100 sheds light on the difficulty that awaits potential homebuyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prices really escalated in the immediate aftermath of the pandemic, as interest rates were historically low and buyers jumped on the opportunity to get into the market. Despite many rate hikes in the last year, prices continue to climb. One of the main reasons prices keep increasing is the lack of homes available &#8211; in the last five years, Canada\u2019s months of inventory has dropped by just under two months, from 5.4 to 3.5.

The greatest increase came in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/toronto-on-real-estate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Toronto<\/a>, where the home price for all property types combined went up by $386,200, from $755,200 to $1,141,400. By extension, it is also the city with the greatest increases in prices for single-family homes, townhouses and apartments, jumping by $469,900, $300,500 and $229,300 respectively. Other cities where home prices rose by over $300,000 are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/barrie-on-real-estate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Barrie and District<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/hamilton-on-real-estate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hamilton<\/a>&#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/burlington-on-real-estate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Burlington<\/a>, where the composite home price is up by $333,500 and $304,800 respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the individual property types, and outside of Toronto, Barrie and District and Hamilton-Burlington also have the largest increase in townhouses and condo apartments. Hamilton-Burlington takes townhouses, with a $288,000 jump in the last five years, while Barrie and District takes condo apartments with a price increase of $207,500 there. Victoria has the largest price climb in single-family homes outside of Toronto with a $383,500 climb from $794,900 to $1,178,400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/best-canadian-cities-for-condo-investment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>The 12 Most Profitable Cities for Canadian Condo Investors<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Home Prices in the Prairies have Remained the Most Affordable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The one outlier to all of this is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/edmonton-ab-real-estate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Edmonton<\/a>. While the average home price has risen by $21,300, the smallest increase of cities we covered, townhouses and condo apartments showed either no price growth or a decline. Townhouses in Edmonton were priced the same in August this year as they were in 2018, at $236,500. Condo apartments in the city are the only property type on our list where prices fell, with a $22,400 drop from $204,200 to $181,800.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only other cities where home prices have increased by less than six figures across all property types are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/winnipeg-mb-real-estate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Winnipeg<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/saskatoon-sk-real-estate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Saskatoon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/regina-sk-real-estate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Regina<\/a> and St. John\u2019s.

The smallest increase across each of those property types was in the condo market in Regina, where the price has only increased by $5,400. While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/quebec-real-estate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Quebec<\/a> home prices are also only up by five figures ($96,500), unlike the other four cities, single-family homes shot up by $131,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have questions about entering the real estate market? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/buy-with-zoocasa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Give us a call!<\/a> Our experienced real estate agents will help you navigate the market to find the right home for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"cta\">\n<div class=\"cta-left\">\n<div class=\"cta-title\">Looking for the perfect home?<\/div>\n<div class=\"cta-body\">Contact us today to speak to a Realtor in your area<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cta-right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/sell-with-zoocasa\"><button class=\"cta-button\">Talk To Our Experts<\/button><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Affordability is a key point of concern for many Canadians, particularly when it comes to housing.
