Home sales in Canada hit an all-time high in 2016 so it's no wonder Canadians were particularly focused on our house tours this week. The average resale house price in Canada reached $470,861 in December, up 3.5 per cent from a year earlier, the Canadian Real Estate Association reported this month. From prefabricated homes to a gorgeous Winnepeg cottage, we hope our features are keeping your dreams of home ownership alive. 

1. A Bright Eco-Friendly Home Perfect For Canada

Bongers Architecten built a beautiful and quaint home that will charm the pants off of you. 

At just over 1300 square feet (129 m²), this home may be smaller than your average suburban abode, but it certainly shouldn't be overlooked. In fact, this is a home that proves that good things indeed comes in small packages.

The house is built of sustainable materials, with the main structure constructed of sturdy, high-quality European Oak . The ground floor features a concrete floor with underfloor heating and rest on a foundation that is completely piled. The first floor has insulated wooden floors and is equipped with radiators for those chillier winter months.
