Vancouver continues to dominate HuffPost Canada’s rankings of the most expensive houses for sale, but with high-end real estate markets under pressure in the past year, Canada’s priciest pads are actually a little cheaper than they used to be.
When we first ranked the most expensive houses for sale in Canada some two years ago, the winner was a West Vancouver property going for just short of $40 million. The most expensive house today costs some $10 million less than that (see slideshow below).
Additionally, there were houses for sale in Toronto and Montreal above the $20-million mark at that time. There are none now.
