Home sales across Canada hit record high's in March, particularly in the red hot markets of Toronto and Vancouver.

Here in High River?

Not as much.

Local Realtor Jim Ross says the average home price in High River is just over $300,000, which he says is a good thing.

"It's still a buyers market here. Inventory is down slightly from last year. Sales are up. But the scales still tip slightly in favour of buyers in High River right now."

The average home price across Canada, when you factor out Toronto and Vancouver, is just under $389,726.

When you include the two centres, it's $548,517.
