"Cheap regions" are still way more expensive than cheap regions in the us with a way lower median salary. You can't really escape it within the country.

Young canadian here, my parents house went from about 300k in 08' to about 1m now. The increasing costs, taxes, immigration will keep prices high so many of us are going south. It's not even that worth it with what you get in toronto. Leaving at the end of summer!
The worst part is that saying the house has "gone up" in value may actually not even be true. What you could buy in 2008 with 400k is about what you can buy now for a million which actually means that your money has just lost value. You get $1 million but that can barely even buy you what 400k could 20 years ago. It's sad really.
Good for young Canadians. Our federal and municipal governments have made life increasingly miserable with their twin policies of high mass immigration and high urban density policies. The "progressive" world is an increasingly miserable world.
@@joemccarthy7120 lmao "hope" for what? Pierre is a globalist elite bootlicker who openly supports mass immigration, demographic replacement, and "progressivism". the only party with a platform that pledges to work for the benefit of citizens is the PPC, which you won't vote for because "muh turdeau"
High urban density isnt the problem, it's the lack of infra investment that is. Higher density would actually help solve the housing crisis at least if done correctly.
If you have an accredited degree, even post secondary diploma with some experience, get your TN visa and gtfo of canada. There is no cap on TN visas and the US has way more opportunity. I did this in 2018 and havent looked back. I recently got my h1b after 6 years of TN. Only 1.5 years away from a green card!
Let’s also talk about how regions outside of Toronto are now raising property taxes as this migration happened . All across Durham region house taxes are up 200-400$!
I currently live on a lot in a small dilapidated old place. It is a block away from a big lake in BC. Over three years the assessed value of the lot went from some $600k to $2.1mil. The lot is about 75 x 100. A 6 story brand new high rise is smack-dab beside it. So close, that the sidewalk to the back of the house got busted when they sunk the hole. Across the street is another big high rise being built. Seven days a week 12 hrs a day.
Realize this. The same thing is happening around the world. Young people leaving all major cities around the world. China, Germany, London, most cities in China, this should collapse the markets in central cities
nah. There is unlimited train of African and Indians who will work for half price of the American/japanese/korean/chinese counrterpart. China is already moving production to Africa

When my grandfather passed away I was very young . About 3 years old . My grandmother bought a house in Pickering in the early 1990s and this was where I grew up . She purchased a 3 bedroom semi for about 100k maybe more , it’s now worth almost 1.2million . Making it so there’s no way I could ever purchase that home to raise my family in
Good for you. That income level is something to be proud of, its the top 30% of all income earners in Canada, double the medium household Canadian income of 75k. Significant damage has been done to the country, what a mess....so sad.

It would be justified as 60yr mortgage introduction which basically is, if your kids cannot pay for it, you will give up home at the timing of retirement keeping some cap gain.

Canada is broken no matter liberal bluffing how good it is or they are doing. Hope their young supporter wake up. Sadly, this kind of news barely see in main stream media in Canada.
That's because the provincial governments have more power over housing and... they're mostly conservative. Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, all the places they mention have *conservative* governments. The feds can just spend money, they can't change zoning rules. Conservatives are also not wrong, it's just their base is homeowners, not young or new Canadians, so the policies are set to maintain an effective ban on new housing and try to pack downtowns with condo towers rather than let leave it to owners to let neighbourhoods adapt.
People have been fleeing cities since covid. Everyone seen how much easier life was in the small towns and communities. But them city foke brought thier money driving up cost.
Historically, most starting out years ago did exactly that, bought outside the city,.commuted, carpooled, whatever it took until they built equity , then moved to a better location. Trying to buy into market you can't afford is like shopping for a Porsche on a Kia Rondo budget. The instant gratification of the younger generation 😩 . Start small and work your way up over TIME like those who were before you did for years.
First of all, the Canadian government must levy a moving tax to capitalize on it. Secondly, all small towns and regions must hike permit fees and development fees straight away to reap profit. When young Canadians all leave the country, it will be too late
Substantial reason behind it is, all developing counties are catching up so quickly. Their purchase power went up. not just a job but also any natural resources, labors are underr competition which is driving prices so high for everything. 1990-2005 type of golden era never come back for developed countries.
Not true at all. We just did not invest in keeping housing stock affordable. They manage to keep rent affordable in singapore and many parts of europe.
@@abcdedfg8340 I do not think so unless gov funding support is there. As the value of currency goes down against resources, how can Singapore or some European countries purchase materials/labor cheaper than any other nationals?
Hes spot on with actual FAMILY homes... all these new builds of 2-3 bedroom townhouses and the micro houses with 3 bedrooms... what about 4 bedroom homes? why are we not building these for those that have more than 1 child?? we'll continue to rely on immigration if we dont let our own citizens afford to grow family beyond 1 child in an affordable way.
Why did the Gov only help the rich keep their house in high price level, but stole the chance to purchase a house for regular families? Corruption! We work hard and paid income taxes on time but never reach to buy a house in Vancouver BC! Wt.....F!
I would be okay with government supports for construction of new/more housing AND reduction of demand by lowering immigration. Home prices ought to come down. Canada has spent way too much time encouraging them to be high, let’s do some encourage to see more affordability. I purchased a home last autumn and I am aware prices may correct and even crash. I’m not in a crazy overpriced city either.
1/4 million people left canada last year.. law enforcement might wanna start leaning on crown attorneys. They will b we without pay checks or pensions very soon like wvery other provincial municiple or fed employee .

@@mindlessdude2216 People like you are the reason why Trudeau won 3 elections. People who can find a job in the US are usually there on a TN visa and are more likely than not, working at a job where the employer is covering health insurance costs. What's your next excuse? You'll get killed in a random shooting in wacist America?
How do you get out of this country? You need a job to go to then you have to make sure your passport is good and the country you go to will accept you forever. At this rate it would take the average person years to sell and get ready to leave forever. Most of us are not 20 with no house ties.
binge building spree! if we can allow a million or so people in, we should be building to house that many + we also need to address the backlog. when the economy slows down, government can incentivize builders to keep on trucking, so that boom, bust, or steady - we get the housing we need regardless of market condition. then we need to make sure there's enough and growing infrastructure, 2.5% pop growth means possibly everything in Canada has to grow by 2.5% at least to not be in shortfall. Those with houses and housing may be against this though, as it likely worsens their networth (house value drops), and may incur a heavier tax burden to support builders in any market.
Back in 1992, a young couple moved from Vancouver to Thunder Bay. What they wanted to do was raise a family and own a home, own a sailboat and ski in the winter. In Vancouver in 1992, they could not do that.
@@alanj9978 maybe so, but 10% mortgage rates and houses in TBay at under $75k appealed to the couple, so they hopped in their van and moved to TBay. Plus sailing, skiing and a 10 to 20 minute commute to work, to the ski hill and to the marina.
@@rb239rtr But by 2010, they both sell the home they bought, the person in north van is retiring to almost anywhere on earth, the person in tbay is in trouble. Plus 18 years of terrible winters, higher crime rates, no decent airport.
@@CommoditySC yes, but in the case of my friends, they could not afford a home in Vancouver, so they made their choice and they seem pretty happy to me. Plus they are far from each of the inlaws. Bonus.
Exactly… people say Canada’s housing unaffordable, they only meant Greater Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal… Canada is vast, and 90% of other regions & cities are still close to affordable… New buyers should consider other regions… Leaving the country just to buy a home seems extreme…
It's not affordable in other markets. If a person has already packed up to move halfway across Canada, then they should consider leaving. Canada does not care about its young people.
Imagine borrowing hundreds of thousands of dollars to gamble on the Canadian government continuing to pursue policies that are insane and unsustainable.
I'm on Vancouver Island and things aren't exactly affordable here either. $500K for a one-bedroom condo, $800K for a new townhouse, more than a million for a new house.
Have you seen the Calgary market, even Edmonton is starting to see the effects of the exodus from Toronto and Vancouver. Moving outta Canada for a home is not extreme at all.
I moved out of Ottawa and bought a place in Cornwall Ontario by myself. Even though it's a small town in comparison, I still find it mad expensive to make ends meet. I want to get out of Canada, work remote, and find somewhere a lot more affordable to live. If you're single, it's extremely difficult to make it on your own.
Calgary is still somewhat affordable, but it’s getting hard man.. back in 2017 I was renting a 4 story house with a two car garage for $1600 Now I rent a 1 bedroom apartment for $1700 😂😂😂
Actually I’m in investing and… Non of these kids are leaving or buying homes elsewhere k.. I will tell you who’s buying whole neighbourhoods though.. Yup, oh you know. Then you can rent off them, own nothing and be happy.
There are 6 million Canadians living in the US. The number will only continue to grow as Canada's economy tanks. Young people and anyone else who are able to work in the United States will move there to seek better fortune in life.
It's easier for people who work in health care, tech, entrepreneurs and direct investors in the United States to obtain a working visa and eventually permanent residency. If anyone is not in those fields then it'll be extremely difficult for the individual to obtain a working Visa or permanent residency status.
No. Stop making up numbers. That is entirely inaccurate. As of 2020, there are under a million Canadians living in the USA, approx. 900 000 Canadians. (Source: Stats Canada).There are approx 3-4 million Canadians who live abroad in total in various countries; and of those, very few were born in Canada. Many are born to Canadian parents who live abroad.
Inflating the regions we grew up in so that daddy’s rich daughter can buy up my neighborhood making it unattainable to purchase myself my family’s home in the town I grew up in 😢

i see people commenting about indians in comment section. india has more advanced hospitals than you guys have in canada. look at india’s healthcare they don’t wait for hours. most of engineers and doctors living in US are from india. indians are making canada’s economy rich too. just for diploma where you guys pay just 3k dollars , indian students pay approximately 20k dollars in colleges. students used to choose canada because canada had a image of welcoming country where there was least racism. everyone has right to go and explore places. canadians too want to go to US then why can’t international students come here? They almost spend 50 to 60k dollars in one year for just diploma. They aren’t here for free. they also contribute into canadian economy.

That's because the provincial governments have more power over housing and... they're mostly conservative. Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, all the places they mention have *conservative* governments. The feds can just spend money, they can't change zoning rules. Conservatives are also not wrong, it's just their base is homeowners, not young or new Canadians, so the policies are set to maintain an effective ban on new housing and try to pack downtowns with condo towers rather than let leave it to owners to let neighbourhoods adapt.

People have been fleeing cities since covid. Everyone seen how much easier life was in the small towns and communities. But them city foke brought thier money driving up cost.
Just ask Halifax.
Historically, most starting out years ago did exactly that, bought outside the city,.commuted, carpooled, whatever it took until they built equity , then moved to a better location. Trying to buy into market you can't afford is like shopping for a Porsche on a Kia Rondo budget. The instant gratification of the younger generation 😩 . Start small and work your way up over TIME like those who were before you did for years.
Moncton here we come!!!
I moved to Moncton four years ago, when the average detached house was about 150000. It’s exploded since then, to about 300,000.
First of all, the Canadian government must levy a moving tax to capitalize on it.
Secondly, all small towns and regions must hike permit fees and development fees straight away to reap profit.
When young Canadians all leave the country, it will be too late
It's true, in the just released Statscan data it show Halifax is getting younger which hasn't happened in a very long time
Substantial reason behind it is, all developing counties are catching up so quickly. Their purchase power went up. not just a job but also any natural resources, labors are underr competition which is driving prices so high for everything. 1990-2005 type of golden era never come back for developed countries.
Not true at all. We just did not invest in keeping housing stock affordable. They manage to keep rent affordable in singapore and many parts of europe.
@@abcdedfg8340 I do not think so unless gov funding support is there. As the value of currency goes down against resources, how can Singapore or some European countries purchase materials/labor cheaper than any other nationals?
Hes spot on with actual FAMILY homes... all these new builds of 2-3 bedroom townhouses and the micro houses with 3 bedrooms... what about 4 bedroom homes? why are we not building these for those that have more than 1 child?? we'll continue to rely on immigration if we dont let our own citizens afford to grow family beyond 1 child in an affordable way.
Why did the Gov only help the rich keep their house in high price level, but stole the chance to purchase a house for regular families? Corruption! We work hard and paid income taxes on time but never reach to buy a house in Vancouver BC! Wt.....F!
What cheaper regions?
Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec.
Thank you, government for destroying Canada.Canadians have to move out.Government brought their cousins in to destroy canada
Go rural. Yes, it’s a “boring” life to some, but you can raise a family off one income, if you go far enough out.
Jobs?
@@Junghoon9039 If there are no jobs, why are people moving there or to the Maritimes?
@@JohnAnderson-sq8lt because the Canadian drama fools these innocent people into an immigration trap
I would be okay with government supports for construction of new/more housing AND reduction of demand by lowering immigration. Home prices ought to come down. Canada has spent way too much time encouraging them to be high, let’s do some encourage to see more affordability.
I purchased a home last autumn and I am aware prices may correct and even crash.
I’m not in a crazy overpriced city either.
1/4 million people left canada last year.. law enforcement might wanna start leaning on crown attorneys. They will b we without pay checks or pensions very soon like wvery other provincial municiple or fed employee . People dont pay tax for zero justice or representation.. toronto controls ontario elections and is going bankrupt at a rapid pace now
Man, that coalition government.... turning me into my father.
If I could find a way to move to the states I would. Been saying that for a while now.

This is what's supposed to happen? If the price in a given city is too much, people move. Never been easier in the wake of WFH.
But not everyone has the privilege to WFH.
If people are moving why is it still pricey in GTA
This isn't your grandpa's Canada anymore...there are better countries to live to get your life off the ground (Europe, South America, etc.)
My grandpa was a racist…he would be really mad now.
Not Europe, over run with migrants!
@@ron.mexico.your grandpa was most likely correct in his opinions
How do you get out of this country? You need a job to go to then you have to make sure your passport is good and the country you go to will accept you forever. At this rate it would take the average person years to sell and get ready to leave forever. Most of us are not 20 with no house ties.
south america lmao. sure buddy.
This is creating a problem few realize but many are adversely affected by; geographical privilege!
"cheap regions" aren't even cheap either these days lol Canada is expensive no matter where you go
binge building spree! if we can allow a million or so people in, we should be building to house that many + we also need to address the backlog.
when the economy slows down, government can incentivize builders to keep on trucking, so that boom, bust, or steady - we get the housing we need regardless of market condition.
then we need to make sure there's enough and growing infrastructure, 2.5% pop growth means possibly everything in Canada has to grow by 2.5% at least to not be in shortfall.
Those with houses and housing may be against this though, as it likely worsens their networth (house value drops), and may incur a heavier tax burden to support builders in any market.
Housing costs are going up in Alberta too.
200k young canadians left to usa in 2023 its little too late. They wont be back
They may want to leave but there are no jobs in the booneys
Real estate has become way too much of a pyramid scheme driven by greed and unconsciousness.
Forget Alberta. It's a lot more affordable in the US.
Cheaper region? Nothing is cheap
In Canada. House is cheaper , will be more expensive in utilities, foods and no jobs . There is nothing perfect
Back in 1992, a young couple moved from Vancouver to Thunder Bay. What they wanted to do was raise a family and own a home, own a sailboat and ski in the winter. In Vancouver in 1992, they could not do that.
You could buy a townhouse in North Van for $175K in 1992.
@@alanj9978 maybe so, but 10% mortgage rates and houses in TBay at under $75k appealed to the couple, so they hopped in their van and moved to TBay. Plus sailing, skiing and a 10 to 20 minute commute to work, to the ski hill and to the marina.
@@rb239rtr But by 2010, they both sell the home they bought, the person in north van is retiring to almost anywhere on earth, the person in tbay is in trouble. Plus 18 years of terrible winters, higher crime rates, no decent airport.
@@CommoditySC yes, but in the case of my friends, they could not afford a home in Vancouver, so they made their choice and they seem pretty happy to me. Plus they are far from each of the inlaws. Bonus.
Exactly… people say Canada’s housing unaffordable, they only meant Greater Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal… Canada is vast, and 90% of other regions & cities are still close to affordable… New buyers should consider other regions… Leaving the country just to buy a home seems extreme…
It's not affordable in other markets. If a person has already packed up to move halfway across Canada, then they should consider leaving. Canada does not care about its young people.
Imagine borrowing hundreds of thousands of dollars to gamble on the Canadian government continuing to pursue policies that are insane and unsustainable.
I'm on Vancouver Island and things aren't exactly affordable here either. $500K for a one-bedroom condo, $800K for a new townhouse, more than a million for a new house.
Have you seen the Calgary market, even Edmonton is starting to see the effects of the exodus from Toronto and Vancouver. Moving outta Canada for a home is not extreme at all.
I moved out of Ottawa and bought a place in Cornwall Ontario by myself. Even though it's a small town in comparison, I still find it mad expensive to make ends meet. I want to get out of Canada, work remote, and find somewhere a lot more affordable to live. If you're single, it's extremely difficult to make it on your own.
We dont need any more "international students".
Calgary is still somewhat affordable, but it’s getting hard man..
back in 2017 I was renting a 4 story house with a two car garage for $1600
Now I rent a 1 bedroom apartment for $1700 😂😂😂
east coast is the way
Save your money and get out. So many countries out there one can live for so much cheaper and better quality of life
It's probably better for them to leave Canada tbh. I visit there and the urban landscape seems like failed states
Young Canadians dream is to get a job in the US now.
Is everyone ignoring that Toronto and GTA smells like toilet waste. Eau du Canindia
Pro tip 95% of Canada is unaffordable.
I've been looking for this mythical "affordable" region, where do you have to move to? Meadow Lake Saskatchewan
The new Canadian dream is to leave.
No its not
Actually I’m in investing and… Non of these kids are leaving or buying homes elsewhere k.. I will tell you who’s buying whole neighbourhoods though.. Yup, oh you know. Then you can rent off them, own nothing and be happy.
We’re building multi family homes still. But theyre mansion properties for one rich guy and his kids kids kids who don’t have to work ever
Many of my relatives are leaving Canada.
Government only wants immigration living in canada
Move earlier, the better. Before all region prices spike
The plan was always to out tax out cost local b.c. families so well pensioned over payed politicians and the like can take advantage of the market
There are 6 million Canadians living in the US. The number will only continue to grow as Canada's economy tanks. Young people and anyone else who are able to work in the United States will move there to seek better fortune in life.
So true, I'm on my way out after living here for 8 years, got my green card and I'm definitely not looking back. Canada is FUBAR.
@@ddvanzano How long have you lived in the US for the green card?
It's easier for people who work in health care, tech, entrepreneurs and direct investors in the United States to obtain a working visa and eventually permanent residency. If anyone is not in those fields then it'll be extremely difficult for the individual to obtain a working Visa or permanent residency status.
No. Stop making up numbers. That is entirely inaccurate. As of 2020, there are under a million Canadians living in the USA, approx. 900 000 Canadians. (Source: Stats Canada).There are approx 3-4 million Canadians who live abroad in total in various countries; and of those, very few were born in Canada. Many are born to Canadian parents who live abroad.
Inflating the regions we grew up in so that daddy’s rich daughter can buy up my neighborhood making it unattainable to purchase myself my family’s home in the town I grew up in 😢
Mortgages should never have been 30 years. 15 years max, that would moderate prices
US is introducing 40yrs. Canada will follow it..
'young people' like to FANTASIZE about moving abroad, and even for the ones that do manage to move realize their uncontrolled spending habits are too high to survive anywhere.
Moved from Mississauga to London 4 years ago. Best thing I ever did
that is BULLSHIT!!! the price is also high in small region...
Lachute is a bargain.
i see people commenting about indians in comment section. india has more advanced hospitals than you guys have in canada. look at india’s healthcare they don’t wait for hours. most of engineers and doctors living in US are from india. indians are making canada’s economy rich too. just for diploma where you guys pay just 3k dollars , indian students pay approximately 20k dollars in colleges. students used to choose canada because canada had a image of welcoming country where there was least racism. everyone has right to go and explore places. canadians too want to go to US then why can’t international students come here? They almost spend 50 to 60k dollars in one year for just diploma. They aren’t here for free. they also contribute into canadian economy.
Canadians don't want Canada to become India, simple
I want to move to Montreal
Blaming Covid instead of government officials is comical.

Unaffordable. People are going broke.

, rapid population growth, driven in part by high immigration levels.
More immigrants than new homes, ofc prices increases.
