Home prices have fallen below the national average in 14-out-of-20 regional housing markets, according to a report by Zoocasa.
In a release on Thursday, the real estate brokerage said it analyzed 20 housing regions across Canada and found 14 markets where the average home prices fell by more than $25,000.
Saint John, N.B., took the top place for the most affordable region, with an average home price of $268,400.
The next most affordable city to buy a home in is Regina ($310,200), followed by Quebec CMA (census metropolitan area, $315,300.)
Earlier this month, the Canadian Real Estate Association reported the average price of a home in Canada was $662,437 in February.
While the national home price is down 18.9 per cent from the all-time record posted in February 2022, it’s still up more than $50,000 from January.
If you were looking to buy a home in Canada’s most affordable market, you could potentially have at least two bedrooms for less than $300,000.
For example, a house currently listed in Saint John has a price tag of $259,900 with three bedrooms, two baths, a fireplace and a view of the Saint John River.
Another home in one of Canada’s most affordable markets has two bedrooms, and four baths for $299,990. The Regina house listing also advertises a soaker tub, double car garage and a backyard that looks bigger than many parks in Toronto.

The Greater Toronto Area was close behind in February with an average price of $1,091,300, and while that might seem like a lot, it’s still 17.7 per cent lower than prices from the same time a year ago.
