Maybe it's just a matter of time? In Canada even the small cities got unaffordable , mainly after COVID started. With the interest rate raise a lot of people are hoping for a crash, some banks are saying it will be up to this 20-40% in some cities. Hopefully that helps. There's no where livable in Canada that is affordable to have a house right now.

Not gonna lie, im considering moving from BC to a farm in NS. With the mortgage i have on a 2 bdr apartment in the lower mainland i can buy up to 3 farms in NS, which is comically sad.

Side fact, not really criticism: When I see abbreviations for US states, my brain starts inserting anything that comes to mind and is a location. In this case:

"BC? British Columbia? NS? New Jersey, no that's not with an 's' ... Arg, no idea!"

It is not mandatory for me to understand all the abbreviations. Just that sometimes I would like to understand more, without having to guess states.

but, BC and NS are of course Canadian provinces, not US states ;)
