How to read these Canada figures. The cost is the US national midrange benchmark adjusted by a Calgary, CA cost multiplier (0.97×) and shown in CAD. The “% recouped at resale” is a national (US-derived) Cost-vs-Value benchmark applied to the local cost — it is not a locally measured resale figure, and real recovery varies by Canada market conditions.
