      Yes, up since 2004 but are starting to come down. What a pointless article.

      First prices are coming down, does not mean affordability is being met but prices are coming down. Calgary and Edmonton are like two cities out of many that is seeing absurd amount of new housing build, albeit especially cheaper homes. This has led to some conflict with communities where alot of housing is being built without parking which is creating a parking crisis to some people. Albeit right now all the upgrades are happening closer to the downtown core and the universities. This will see an open house of people wanting for repeal the zoning reform in March.

      Another big thing people ignore is people ability to pay for such prices is quite diminished.

      Cost of living has skyrocketed especially essentials…utilities, insurance etc etc

      So people can say „housing after inflation is back to 2019 levels“

      The issue is people cash flow situations are way worse then 2019

      So imo prices alone is not the only metric but peoples ability to afford such prices.

      Its the development fees. Vaughan Ontario is the highest I’ve seen so far at $200,000 just for fees and permits for a detached. Then you need utilities, which could reach $100,000. Obviously this is a very expensive area, but to put it into perspective, that $200,000 permit is 5x what my father paid for his first detached house

      This is why you’re seeing nothing but gigantic 3500sqft houses. Its the only way its profitable for builders. And even then, the only ones buying the new subdivisions I’m building are multi-gen Indian families

      „Prices are coming down! This town house now only costs 2.3x as much as it did 10 years ago instead of 2.5x!“

      People need to continue to stay put and let the process come down. These prices are still well out of normal range, you have houses with crumbling foundations and structural issues going for 400+ in the cheaper cities… that’s disgusting.

      Starter homes and new homes aren’t the same thing though. If you’re buying your first house it’s normal to get an older home that needs a little TLC.

      “Starter homes” used to be small homes designed by the government after WWII that were 2 bed, one bath, with a garden to save on grocery expenses.

      These things are difficult to sell now because people want at least 3 beds, their own bathroom for the master suite, and people don’t garden for food at all.

      There are still starter homes out there. People often turn their noses up at them, or immediately renovate and expand them, because small bedrooms and one bathroom isn’t good enough anymore.

      I hate the concept of ‘starter home’/ ‘housing ladder’. Ideally housing should be easily available and people buy according to their needs/budget. I mean great condos, great smaller houses. They shouldn’t be a way to ‘build equity’ but appropriate housing solutions for people that want such housing

    13. BiBoFieTo on

      I’m realizing that I’m going to have to buy my kids a starter house, if they are going to have one at all.

    14. aTinyFart on

      Why do we have to build such massive houses? Why can’t we go back to 1970s models. Or before…

    17. Still-Good1509 on

      Yeah basically homes will need to drop to 1998 lvls to be affordable again when you look at the cost of everything else that has jumped 10 fold

    18. Artimusjones88 on

      I have started seeing homes for 375-550 in a fairly major Ontario city.

      They are small, need work and not in the greatest neighborhoods, but affordable.

      People expect to have a 1st home what 2500 sq ft, 4 bedrooms, double garage etc….. simply not realistic expectations.
