What is the best real estate app in Canada?

Realtor.ca is the most comprehensive real estate app in Canada, with access to all MLS listings directly from CREA. For sold data and market analysis, HouseSigma (Ontario) is the best free tool. Zillow and Zolo are good complementary options for estimated home values and neighbourhood data.

Is HouseSigma accurate?

HouseSigma provides actual sold prices from TRREB and other Ontario boards, so its sold data is accurate (sourced directly from MLS). Its market value estimates (HouseScore) are based on comparable sales but should be treated as rough estimates — actual value depends on condition, renovations, and buyer demand.

Can you see sold prices in Canada?

It depends on the province. In Ontario, you can see sold prices through HouseSigma, Zolo, and Bungol (free). In British Columbia, the BC Assessment website shows assessed values. In Alberta, some data is available through Honestdoor. Quebec, Manitoba, and Atlantic provinces have limited public access to sold data.

Best Real Estate Apps & Websites in Canada 2026: House Hunting Tools

The right combination of real estate apps can give you nearly as much market intelligence as a real estate agent — for free. Start with Realtor.ca for the most complete listing data (it’s the official MLS platform), then layer on HouseSigma or Bungol for sold prices and market analysis in Ontario. For neighbourhood research and home value estimates, Zolo is the best all-around tool. No single app does everything well, so the strategy is to use 2–3 tools together. The biggest gap in Canada compared to the U.S. is sold price transparency: outside Ontario, getting actual sold prices still requires working with an agent in most provinces.

Where to Find Sold Prices by Province

Access to sold prices is one of the most valuable pieces of information for buyers, and it varies wildly by province. Ontario leads with free tools like HouseSigma and Bungol that show actual sold prices from TRREB and other boards. British Columbia has BC Assessment for assessed values (not sold prices), and Alberta has Honestdoor. In Quebec and the Atlantic provinces, you’re mostly reliant on your agent for sold data. If you’re in a province with limited public data, ask your agent for a comparative market analysis (CMA) before making any offer.

Province	Free Access to Sold Prices?	Best Source
Ontario	✅	HouseSigma, Bungol, Zolo
British Columbia	Partial (assessed values)	BC Assessment, agent-provided
Alberta	Partial	Honestdoor, agent-provided
Quebec	❌ (paid services available)	JLR (paid), agent-provided
Manitoba	❌	Agent-provided
Saskatchewan	❌	Agent-provided
Nova Scotia	Partial	Viewpoint.ca, agent-provided
New Brunswick	Partial (assessed values)	SNB Property Assessment
PEI	❌	Agent-provided

The Bottom Line

Use Realtor.ca for listings, HouseSigma for sold prices (Ontario), and Zolo for neighbourhood research. No single app replaces a good real estate agent, but these tools help you make smarter offers and catch overpriced listings before you waste time on showings.
