With the evolution of the Internet and a growing number of free listing websites available, sellers of real estate in Canada are presented with an opportunity to expose their properties to an ever-expanding Internet audience.
Real estate agents in Canada currently have exclusive access to posting their listings on a national mls (www.mls.ca), which is a cooperative system for the 82,000+ members of the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), working through Canada’s 99 real estate boards and 11 provincial/territorial associations.
Canada’s national MLS is great for home buyers as it is a one-stop, comprehensive listing of all properties currently listed by real estate agents across the country.
However, many homebuyers are looking at alternative real estate listing websites to search for property, particularly with a growing number of private sellers in the market.
We have compiled a list of websites, where you can manually post your property for sale on the Internet – completely free of charge.
Simply click on the links below to get started.
If any of our readers have other Canadian-friendly listing sites, we’d love to hear from you.

I am in the process of starting a new website that allows Agents and Owners to list homes for free. Right now, I just need people to believe in the idea and start posting homes.
