Canada Real Estate - Page 3

I have a couple of questions about real estate:

1. Why is it so affordable real estate in Nova Scotia?

2. Why is it so expensive in Victoria and overall Vancouver island?

3. Which province (no city) have very affordable prices in real estate, great facilities for families, safety, lots of green and parks, friendly people and snow that can be easily managed during winter?

Nova Scotia offers little employment opportunities and many do not like 10 feet of snow. You will also likely note the cheap spots are very isolated.

Victoria has beautiful weather very warm and has a very limited land space. This puts its real estate market in a very exclusive price range. Vancouver island is bigger and has more commercial on it then Victoria so that is the reason it is cheaper. For years it was seen as the place to be.

I say no snow impossible!

Not sure if that is really possible just kidding. Along the southern boarder with the USA dwells the milder winters. Near the western mountain in the Chinook winds is one place that is very moderate as well as southern Ontario in the Greater Toronto area. The Western coast is also a good place but not too far north. Some of the valleys in British Columbia are good as well. The downfall is these places of late have become well sought out and very expensive. The west coast gets a high amount of traffic from the Asian communities. They are well known for drugs as well.
