If you’re a big city-dweller with a million dollars to spare on a home, you’re probably going to have to adjust your expectations on the kind of home you can get. Canadian real estate brokerage house Royal LePage just came out with a very useful report on how far one million dollars gets you in different real estate markets across Canada.The key conclusion is that home prices vary so drastically across Canada, that if you value space over location, you might really want to consider NOT living in Toronto, New York or Vancouver. One million dollars can get you a run-down hole of a house in Vancouver, a slightly bigger, but equally shabby home in Toronto, or a mansion in Winnipeg.As an extension to Royal LePage’s report on Canadian housing, VICE Money has put together a list of homes that cost $1 million, across 10 popular North American cities:TorontoIt’s pretty bleak in this city if you’re looking for a single family home for $1 million or under. But when I increased my price range to $1.5 million, at least 70-80 homes popped up. Here’s one pretty decent house that I’m pretty sure will sell above $1 million.
