I disagree. I think that shows us as having a higher average because there are more multi-million dollar houses in Calgary, and more "slums" in Winnipeg. Compare an equal house in age, size and style and you will see Calgary comes out paying a lot less.

I looked into this in great detail when the boom was just about to peak here and it hadn't hit Winnipeg. I was looking at selling my house here, moving back to Winnipeg into a bigger house with a pool and being mortgage free. Property taxes and also salary expectations are what kept me here.
