(Rank #1 of 44)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New Brunswick\u2019s capital leads all 44 markets, and it does so by a wide margin. With a 2025 average home price of $344,467, Fredericton sits roughly $339,100 below the national benchmark, while posting 10% growth in the past year, 21% over three years, and a remarkable 74% over five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set along the winding Saint John River, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/fredericton-nb-real-estate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fredericton<\/a> pairs small city charm with a quietly growing cultural and academic scene. Deep affordability and a proven track record of appreciation make it a compelling option for both homeowners and investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For first-time buyers or families priced out of larger urban centres, Fredericton offers a dramatically lower entry point without sacrificing the fundamentals: strong safety scores, accessible health care, and steady, sustainable growth.<\/p>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DWRvyZcjq9y\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

That momentum is reflected in its housing market, with the strongest three-year price growth in this study, an average price still $302,525 below the national benchmark, and resale activity running more than 50% above pre-pandemic levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With its colourful row houses, rugged coastline, and ocean views in nearly every direction, St. John\u2019s offers a lifestyle that feels distinctly removed from the pace of larger cities. For buyers, it presents a rare combination of relative affordability and accelerating demand, suggesting the market still has room to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/down-payment-largest-cities-canada\/\">How Long Would It Take to Save a Down Payment in Canada\u2019s 10 Largest Cities? <\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DWtuRXQAXGM\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

At $420,825 on average, roughly $262,741 below the national benchmark, and with some of the highest median household incomes in the ranking, the city offers one of the highest income-to-price ratios in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Home to the largest urban park system in Canada and a river valley that stretches across the city, Edmonton offers something most major metros can&#8217;t: genuine nature, right outside your door. Growth has been steadier than in Atlantic Canada, with 8% over one year and 23% over five years, but for investors and move-up buyers, that consistency is often exactly what a buy-and-hold strategy needs.<\/p>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DW17gN3k3qj\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

With a 2025 average price of $572,500, about $111,066 below the national benchmark, it is less affordable than others on this list, but pairs that price point with a median household income of $87,000, one of the highest among ranked markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set on the prairies with the Rocky Mountains just an hour away, Calgary offers big city energy with easy access to some of Canada\u2019s best vistas. With 13% three-year growth and 40% five-year gains, it delivers financially, but it is the proximity to world-class skiing, a thriving food and arts scene, and year-round outdoor living that continues to draw buyers west.

The rest follows: a six-bedroom layout suited to multigenerational living or rental income, plus a recently updated kitchen with an induction stove and new countertops (2025). Outside, a three-tiered backyard deck with a hot tub and fire pit extends your living space. The home sits on a bus route to Memorial University, opening up student rental potential that could meaningfully offset carrying costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/st-johns-nl-real-estate\/o-leary-avenue\/137-ladysmith-dr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>View the listing<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/edmonton-ab-real-estate\/9084-rosenthal-link-nw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">9084 Rosenthal Link NW<\/a> (Edmonton, AB)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design-32-5-750x422.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design-32-5-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design-32-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design-32-5-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design-32-5-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design-32-5.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Listed by: eXp Realty<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WTBRE-20266-750x422.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WTBRE-20266-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WTBRE-20266-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WTBRE-20266-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WTBRE-20266-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WTBRE-20266.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Listed by: eXp Realty<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Property Details:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Townhouse<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4 beds, 4 baths<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1,499 sq. ft.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This bright corner townhouse offers park and pond views in one of northwest Edmonton\u2019s newer neighbourhoods.
