Snowy weather is beginning to appear across the country, and soon Canadians will be back to enjoying their favourite cold-weather activities, from snowshoeing and skiing to ice fishing. For many, that love of winter recreation is enough to spark interest in owning a home in one of Canada’s seasonal getaway communities. With the growing Buy Canadian movement encouraging more people to vacation at home, chalets and cottages near popular mountain destinations are poised to see increased attention this year.
According to the Royal LePage 2025 Winter Recreational Property Report, home prices in Canada’s popular ski regions rose moderately in the first nine months of 2025. Nationally, the median price of a single-family detached home increased 3.8% year over year to $982,000. Recreational real estate markets across the country have proven to be more resilient and stable than major urban markets over the past year, with strong demand and increases in sales activity and prices. A majority of the recreational real estate markets covered in the report (89%) recorded a year-over-year increase in sales activity in the first nine months of 2025, and more than three quarters (78%) recorded an increase in the median price of single-family homes.
Royal LePage is forecasting that the median price of a single-family detached home in Canada’s recreational ski regions will increase 4.0% over the next 12 months. This outlook reflects expectations of a continued rebound in the recreational market, supported by lower borrowing costs that will draw more buyers back into the market, as well as growing domestic demand for recreational properties across the country.
