I would compare property types before assuming you need the biggest option
If your current home feels tight, I would slow the decision down just enough to define what more space really means. In Canmore, AB over the previous 30 days, detached homes were priced at $1,633,300 and semi-detached homes at $1,431,900, so the jump to the top end deserves more thought than most people give it.
Over the previous 30 days, detached homes in Canmore, AB recorded 6 sales, 19 new listings, and 41 active listings. That tells me there was selection in that segment, but also that buyers considering detached homes had reason to compare carefully rather than assume every property justified its number. If you need more room, I would test whether semi-detached or even a well-laid-out row home solves the problem first. Bigger is not automatically better if the extra price does not create the daily function your household actually needs. Rank your needs in order bedrooms, work space, storage, and shared living area. Tour across more than one property type. Stay disciplined on your budget so the move improves comfort without forcing regret later.
