About the 2024 RE/MAX Liveability Report
The 2024 RE/MAX Liveability Report includes data from RE/MAX brokerages. RE/MAX brokers and agents are surveyed on insights, local developments and their city’s neighbourhoods on a set of liveability criteria, including availability of public transit, walkability and housing supply, and more.

Regional summaries with additional broker insights can be found at RE/MAX.ca. *For the purposes of this report, “liveability” is defined as “the external qualities that make a place feel like home.”

These top liveability criteria identified by Leger were provided Local Logic. Local Logic used location scores in addition to census data to determine the top neighbourhoods in Canada within 24 key markets coast-to-coast-to-coast based on each factor, and a set of buyer personas including retirees, city lovers with and without kids, and foodies, among others.
