Yep, when I was shopping for a condo 2 years ago, basically every place I looked at was selling for the same price as when they were brand new 10 years ago. Good thing though is it is way more affordable than the west coast.
E.g, if buying costs $x, you pay $y a year for loan, insurance, maintenance, etc, and sell for $x later, and $y per year was less than the cost of renting, you win.
But most people would call that a "good deal" vs a "good investment".
