This compares quite favourably to the United States where values for a similar interest now average nearly three times that amount. And even more favourably to the multi-million dollar price tags that often adorn Muskoka cottages. It also speaks to the investment potential of the luxury fractional real estate market in Canada over the years to come. You want to own an impressive vacation home in an expensive resort area.
