And it doesn't stop there, the city of Montreal ranked #20 — so it seems as though we're living in a real estate heaven.

The current average home prices for Greater Montreal and the City of Montreal are $399,417 and $472,441 respectively.

Meanwhile, the City of Toronto ranked #38 and, according to the report, has an average home price of $915,001, which is a massive difference from Montreal.
