    interesting read. i live more northern ontario and idk if i’ll ever be able to buy a house and that really sucks. my wife an i are hoping to save up enough to buy a small plot of land near nowhere and build a little house. i do construction so i can do most of the labour. crazy to see this guy made more money selling his home than he did working all those years. thats not a good thing.

      Here in southern Ontario (GTA) house prices are out of absolute control. I live in Scarborough, and townhouses across from my apartment were announced @ 700k for 2bdrm. One year later and no building yet and now they are 1.4m(3bdrm is over 1.6m)

        jesus christ thats insane. do you plan on continuing living in southern ontario? i’ve lived all over there st.catherines, grimsby, stoney creek, hamilton, burlington. me and my wife came up here because we couldn’t afford the rent down there and some of my extended relatives own a house up here they weren’t living in and gave us a good price on rent.
