Our housing prices are 5x above the 1990s. Besides 06-08, there was a steady, steep rise from 2016-2020, then everything doubled at once.

I think the Canadian exodus away from here has been going on for well over a decade. Temps and prices never stop climbing.




Wait til you get a sniff at Canadian housing prices. The most insane in the G7.

Imagine paying >$1M for a modest 3 bedroom home and still having to shovel snow and have to endure weather where the air hurts your face.


Yea, looks like the median house price in Tampa is $USD 450k. The median house price in Calgary is $CAD 600k which is in the same ballpark, and I wouldn’t even consider Calgary a “nice place”.

If you want to live in a nice place like anywhere in British Columbia you are paying $750k for something built in the 80s with 4 walls and a roof.
