3 Canadian Fixer Uppers vs 3 Turnkey Homes — The Cheap One Isn't Always Cheaper

Are fixer-uppers in Canada actually cheaper than turnkey homes once you run the full number? In this video, I compare 3 Canadian fixer-uppers with 3 turnkey homes in the same towns to see whether the cheaper house is really the better deal. We look at real listings in Miramichi, New Brunswick, Kirkland Lake, Ontario, and Nipawin, Saskatchewan — comparing purchase price, renovation costs, property taxes, heating systems, days on market, resale risk, and the hidden math behind each property. A $55,000 house can look like an obvious bargain. But once you add ceiling repairs, bathrooms, kitchens, foundation questions, financing costs, and the reality of selling later in a slow market, the answer becomes a lot less obvious. This is not a house tour. This is the math behind the price. In this video: • 3 Canadian fixer-uppers • 3 turnkey homes in the same towns • Realistic all-in cost estimates • Renovation risk vs move-in-ready convenience • Days on market and resale risk • Small-town Canadian real estate trade-offs Featured locations: Miramichi, New Brunswick Kirkland Lake, Ontario Nipawin, Saskatchewan Listings mentioned in the video: MIRAMICHI, NEW BRUNSWICK Fixer-Upper — 667 Newcastle Blvd, $79,900 → https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/29...
