My salary didn’t change at all, but homes went up 82%. The money I saved for a down payment and my salary no longer are good enough for this home and many others. This ain’t even a “good” home either. It was a 200k meh average ok home before. Now it’s simply unaffordable

    $325k for a 3bdrm 2bath detached SFH in good condition?

    Awww, that’s adorable. Even after taking the exchange rate into account, that would be like going back to 1998 in my corner of Canada. Right now, a house like that on a 0.21 Ac plot of land would be running you $1,300,000 CAD. In places like Vancouver? $4,800,000 CAD on average.

      Awww, that’s adorable.

      People still talk like this? Wow. Anyway, it’s not a contest. Both scenarios can be very unfortunate and disappointing
