It may be a small sample size, but Investors who purchased at the beginning of the year in these markets have enjoyed impressive appreciation gains.<\/p>\n

This is your Western Canada guide to just how well real estate markets have performed over the past year.<\/p>\n

British Columbia<\/strong>
\nVancouver
\nAverage price in April, 2015 : 899,178
\nAverage price in April, 2016 : 1,091,767<\/p>\n

Prices in Canada\u2019s hottest housing market have skyrocketed, increasing 21.4% year-over-year in April. It\u2019s no surprise, especially to those who purchased last year. However, many have argued that sort of appreciation is unsustainable, so investors may be wary of jumping in now.
\nStill, Vancouver hasn\u2019t even been the province\u2019s highest performing market over the past 12 months.<\/p>\n

That honour goes to the Fraser Valley.
\nAverage price in April, 2015 : $334,478
\nAverage price in April, 2016 : $410,652
\nPrice appreciation, year-over-year : 22.8%<\/p>\n

Alberta<\/strong>
\nInvestors in Alberta have had a tough year, with layoffs coupled with negative price appreciation in most markets hitting the pocketbooks hard. There is only one market that has seen average prices increase over the past 12 months.<\/p>\n

Calgary<\/strong>
\nAverage price in April, 2015 : $455,155
\nAverage price in April, 2016 : $460,114
\nPrice appreciation, year-over-year : 1.1%<\/p>\n

Saskatchewan<\/strong>
\nThe average price in Saskatchewan may have dipped overall \u2013 falling by 1.6% year-over-year \u2013 but there was one market that saw impressive yearly gains.<\/p>\n

Battlefords<\/strong>
\nAverage price in April, 2015 : $169,100
\nAverage price in April, 2016 : $201,184
\nPrice appreciation, year-over-year : 19%<\/p>\n
