Last week we compared what your money would buy you in Vancouver vs. Newfoundland. This week, we are looking on Prince Edward Island.

I'm going to shoot a little lower with the budget this week and see what we can find between $700-800K.

First up this cute Cape Cod-style abode:

Situated on over half an acre of water-front land, this home has three bedrooms, and two-and-a-half bathrooms. The lower level has a large rec room with walk out to the well landscaped grounds and to the water. All for $737K. Sigh...

For $748K, you could buy this six-bedroom home:

This one sits on a third of an acre and boasts a massive living room, separate dining room, separate kitchen and family room, office and study all on the main level for enjoyable living and entertaining. Wow.

Bump your budget up to $800K and you could be the proud owner of this heritage home is historic Charlottetown:

Professionally restored in 2009 to an exceptional condition, this property was operated as an inn. There are four master suites, each with its own ensuite bathroom. The third floor has a large sitting area, with another bedroom & ensuite.

Back in Vancouver, we're lucky to find a decent house for under $800K. Here's one that is, at least, standing:

A bargain by Vancouver standards, the listing states that the lot is level and sunny (when the sun comes out!). Well...that's something, I guess.

Vancouver...are you f*%king kidding me??!!

Stay tuned - next week we head to Nova Scotia!
