Approximately three hours north of Toronto, the Muskoka region has verdant woods, quaint villages, and picturesque lakes, making it a perennial favorite among travelers looking for a memorable Canadian vacation. Water activities in the summer, beautiful autumn scenery, dordle and skiing and snowboarding in the winter make this a destination for all four seasons.

Buying a house here on the lake is a safe bet in the real estate market. "Muskoka, Rosseau, Rosseau Lake, and Georgian Bay are popular destinations for wealthy cottagers. Cottagers seeking seclusion may choose from a wide variety of smaller lakes in the region "Broker with TrilliumWest, Luxury Portfolio International Sara Languay said. She also said that half of the local real estate transactions include beachfront homes.

"In 2018, high-end villas in Muskoka may fetch between $5 and $6 million CAD. These identical homes are now worth $8–$12 million Canadian dollars, if not more "...she said. "In Ontario's hottest regions, it's not unusual for property prices to double in under five years." Whistler is a magnificent mountain resort north of Vancouver, and although many people associate it with the winter season due to its huge skiable terrain and Olympic Park's role in the 2010 Winter Olympics, the resort is popular throughout the year. Whistler is just as active in the summer as it is in the winter, thanks to its three golf courses, many lakes with sandy beaches and water sports, bike and hiking paths, magnificent waterfalls, and zip line.

According to Wendi Warm, president and owner of The Whistler Real Estate Company Ltd., Luxury Portfolio International, "2021 was the greatest year to date for the Whistler market, with more than $1.5 billion CAD in real estate sold." There was a 35% rise over the previous record-breaking year of 2020. In addition, she said that stock levels were at an all-time low in December 2021, and that transaction prices had been rising steadily since then.

According to Warm, "most Whistler purchasers hail from British Columbia's lower mainland, but there is a substantial contingent from the U.S. and East Asia, and there is also a rising community of buyers from Ontario." Canmore, nestled among the snowy peaks of the Canadian Rockies, is conveniently close to Banff National Park, the country's most popular tourist destination because to its stunning glacial lakes, soothing hot springs, and breathtaking landscape. This beautiful mountain hamlet is located on Métis Nation of Alberta land a little over an hour west of Calgary, which is home to an international airport with numerous direct flights from major U.S. cities.

The town's strong sense of community is just one more reason to consider making Canmore your home away from home, according to Jonas Gordon, an agent with Cir Realty, Luxury Portfolio International. "Top neighborhoods in the area include Spring Creek Mountain Village, South Canmore, and Silvertip Resort," he said.
