Winnipeg houses aren't that much cheaper than Calgary, maybe a 100K or so in comparable neighbourhood. But Winnipeg's property taxes are exorbitant easily double or triple for similar property in Calgary.
A professional couple could easily pull in $150K-$200K a year here combined which is very hard to do elsewhere. That's why house prices are what they are here.
