Alberta may well have the lowest percentage of cottage owners in the country, but the province also boasts recreational property prices well above the national average, says a report on recreational properties released yesterday by Royal LePage.
Seven percent of Albertans own a cottage, the survey says, compared to the national average of 9%.
The average prices of a standard waterfront cottage sits at $1.3 million in Alberta. Nationally, average prices range from $327,000 to $1.1 million.
