If you\u2019ve lived in your current home for more than two years, then you have a good idea about what housing prices look like in your neighborhood. However, you might want to dig a little deeper by reviewing the local and regional housing statistics by the Canadian Real Estate Association<\/a> (CREA) . Alternatively, search a real estate website\u2019s Multiple Listing Service<\/a> to look at the comparable homes in your neighborhood. This way you get an idea of what your competition looks like.
