The queries were primarily from millennial women aged 25 to 44.
Many were looking at homes in Ontario, where searches grew by 417 per cent from Nov. 6 through 8.
Toronto and Montreal drew some of the heaviest interest, with searches going up by 200 per cent for both. Vancouver trailed them with a 128 per cent increase.

Point2 Homes also suggested that Cape Breton had succeeded in marketing to Americans fleeing a Trump victory.
Searches for homes on the island spiked by 300 per cent. Many took an interest in this lake house, which is on the market for $349,000.

Earlier this year, a radio DJ created the website "Cape Breton if Donald Trump Wins," aiming to attract Americans who couldn't stand living under a Trump presidency.
The website was partly credited for a 14 per cent surge in island tourism over the summer.
Earlier this year, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau commented on the website by simply describing Cape Breton aslovely" island.
