I lived in Calgary for 4 years before moving to the USA. Loved it. *But the Winter weather was a little tedious. I was there this year visiting the "Outlaws" house prices are in excess of $300k CAD in reality for a moderate 3x2x2 home. ($500k gets you a nice place) I lived in Midnapore and Lake Bonevista estates. General articles are more expensive than other parts of Canada as everything is trucked in. This makes up for the lack of sales tax.

Real estate is going up but I have to disagree with you that in reality most homes are in excess of $300K. Depends what area you are in. Midnapore and Lake Bonavista are the nicer and more expensive neighbourhoods but you can still buy a home under $200K if you look in the N.E. area of the city such as Martindale, Temple, etc. It won't get you anything fancy but it will put a roof over your head 
What general items are you referring to that are more expensive? I've never lived in any other Canadian city so I can't comment. Other things are cheaper though like gas.
