Luxury Villas for Sale in Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Canada remains a popular destination for home buyers (including the high-end segment), due to its multiple, permanent residency programs with special streams for entrepreneurs and start-up founders.

Below, you’ll find a list of the most sought-after real estate areas in Canada, from Niagara Falls to Vancouver.

The province of Alberta with its enchanting scenery is particularly attractive for home buyers who value a secluded lifestyle in the countryside.

Housing prices in Alberta are lower than in either British Columbia or Ontario with an average price around 800,000 USD (726,000 euros). Here, buyers can find upscale farmhouses, townhouses, and single-family cottages with modest price tags. But million dollar manor homes also are available for sale in the area - and look predictably impressive, thanks to the beautiful surroundings.

It’s of interest to know that Canada is one of a few countries with numerous, abandoned mansions: these homes primarily can be found (and probably bought) in Alberta.
