Just got back from AB to house hunt and sus out life there. Prices are already up, $775K new build sends you to the edge of calgary, so equivalent to driving from Van to Blaine in distance.
$700K can get you a nice 2000's house in outer skirts of NW / SW. Anything 2010 plus within 20-35 minutes of city centre (Aka something in Van/Burnaby) is $1.2M+.
The 1960's bungalow looking things are cheap though $500 - 650K for a easy fixer upper. But the areas look kinda sketch, but hey cheap housing, I'd live at DTES For $650K!
My friends from Calgary also complain about housing cost though, anything detached start home is close to $650 - 800K, so anything less than a $170 - 200K HHI is a bit of a stretch still. But they have tons of TH/Condos options in the $300K range, only downside is strata is like $500 - 1,200/month depending on size.
