The Royal LePage 2025 Winter Recreational Property Report includes price data and insights from experts in 18 popular ski regions across the country, as well as national and regional forecasts.
“Following a year of sluggish activity and stagnant prices in 2024, the real estate markets in Canada’s most popular ski destinations rebounded in 2025. Modest interest rate relief and a growing ‘Buy Canadian’ mindset helped reignite demand for slopeside chalets and mountain retreats. While economic uncertainty continues to weigh on many urban markets, buyers seeking winter escapes are pushing ahead – demonstrating once again the resilience and enduring appeal of Canada’s recreational regions,” said Phil Soper.
Key highlights from the release include:
- Royal LePage is forecasting a 4.0% increase in single-family home prices over the next year in popular ski regions across the country.
- Nationally, single-family home prices in Canada’s winter recreational market increased 3.8% year over year in the first nine months of 2025.
- 16 of the 18 recreational markets in the report recorded an increase in sales this year.
- 47% of recreational property experts report more inquiries from domestic buyers of recreational real estate as a result of the ‘Buy Canadian’ movement.
