The average value of a dwelling in Canada was $162 709 according to the 2001 Census, compared to the 1996 Census average of $147 877, an increase of 10%. All provinces and territories have experienced a rise in housing values, particularly in Alberta and Ontario, markedly in Calgary, Ottawa and Toronto.
