  1. QUESTION — Will house prices ever go down to pre-COVID levels? Will there be a two08-like “bubble”?

    Or is it “TOO BAD SO SAD” for the younger millenials / Gen Zers? 🤔

    We just bought a house in Winnipeg. There was low inventory already, even there. I’m afraid to see what will happen when the rates drop.

  3. The prices are so wild in my city that I have resigned to never being a home owner in this country.

  4. Still up quite a bit in Alberta’s big cities. I hate these lazy reporters putting in the minimal effort. Vancouver and Toronto were so ridiculous they skew the average so why report the average

  5. I’m in BC. Even if I was to move to hours away east from where I work it would still be unaffordable. I have to think about where I would find employment which isn’t always so easy. I don’t think there is really an affordable area here. I would have to move way way up north

  6. They say that the new national average home sale price is now $703,446. With financing costs remaining high you will need ~$165K HHI to afford a home based on [this calculation](https://wealthvieu.com/mortgage-affordability-calculator-canada?a=165,000&b=25&c=50,000&d=6.5&e=1,250). They say that while the monthly national home sales are down 1.7% month-over-month on a year-over-year basis they are still up 10.1% with the national average selling price down 1.8%.
