      Sure, I’m myself planning on being in a place like that, in Quebec, eventually. Just saying that’s the reason it’s cheap, not because it’s Quebec. I’m sure you can get similar prices in bum-fuck nowhere in whales or the Highlands or something.

        I live in British Columbia, that property would pull in probably $800,000 here. Even when I was in Alberta pre COVID that would have gotten probably $500,000.

          As in, in similarly remote areas? If that’s the case then I’ll count myself lucky that it’s Québec I’ll likely move to next.

            I am unsure how much land is coming with the house, but if it is acreage/hobby farm size it’d fetch a bit more probably, but it it is just a house that is part of some unincorporated area it’d be a bit less but the difference is significant going from western Canada to anything east of Alberta that isn’t Ontario.

                That sounds like heaven except for the needing a car side of that.

                It looks like those criteria would make it too close to Vancouver to be less than 2 million for a 3 bed.

                  Vancouver = Montreal

                  Kelowna = Sherbrooke

                  Merritt = Val-des-Sources

                  So it’s like living in a village somewhere between Merritt and Vancouver but very close to Merritt

                    I’m not going to give a definite yes to that, I’m a Northerner and it’s a completely different world up here, but from what I can gather your assessment is pretty accurate.
