Relocating to Yellowknife for Work
A large portion of Yellowknife’s population has experienced a move to the North at some point. People relocate here from across Canada for careers with the territorial and federal governments, Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP, mining and resource industries, health care, education and the many businesses and organizations serving the North.
Our team has extensive experience helping clients relocate both to and from Yellowknife, including Realtors experienced with military and federal government relocations.
If you’re planning a house-hunting trip, we can help you understand the market before you arrive, identify suitable properties and make the most of the time you have available in Yellowknife.
What to Know About Buying a Home in Yellowknife
Buying a home in Yellowknife isn’t quite the same as buying one in southern Canada. Local experience can make a considerable difference when evaluating a property.
Heating and Energy Costs
With our Northern climate, heating systems and operating costs deserve particular attention. Yellowknife homes may use different heating systems and energy sources, and costs can vary significantly between properties.
Where available, we include heating-cost information directly in our property listings so buyers can consider more than simply the purchase price.
Northern Construction
Yellowknife’s climate, geology and terrain have influenced how homes have been constructed throughout the city’s history.
Foundation types, insulation, drainage and other construction considerations can differ from what buyers relocating from southern Canada are accustomed to. Our Realtors have decades of experience with Yellowknife’s housing stock and can help you understand what you’re looking at when viewing a home.
Condos and Townhouses
Condominiums can be an attractive option for newcomers looking for lower-maintenance home ownership. Yellowknife has both apartment-style condominiums and condominium townhouses in a variety of neighbourhoods and price ranges.
When considering a condominium, we’ll help you look beyond the purchase price to understand items such as condo fees and the information available about the condominium corporation.
Manufactured Homes
Manufactured homes make up an important part of Yellowknife’s housing market and can provide another path to home ownership.
If you’re unfamiliar with manufactured housing, our Realtors can explain the differences between the property types you’ll encounter and help you evaluate the options available.

Local Knowledge Matters
Coldwell Banker Northern Bestsellers is Yellowknife’s longest-serving real estate brokerage, serving the North since 1984.
Our team brings decades of experience with Yellowknife residential and commercial real estate. Several members of our team have lived in Yellowknife for decades, and our Realtors have helped generations of residents and newcomers buy and sell homes throughout the city.
That experience is particularly useful when you’re trying to evaluate a property from hundreds or thousands of kilometres away.
We believe you should understand what you’re buying, what it will cost to own and what questions you should be asking before making a decision.
