My salary didn’t change at all, but homes went up 82%. The money I saved for a down payment and my salary no longer are good enough for this home and many others. This ain’t even a “good” home either. It was a 200k meh average ok home before. Now it’s simply unaffordable

    Bought our cottage for 50k at the peak of the rural movement in 2020 after it had been on the market for months, just sold it while the second property market has completely crashed for 130k after putting 10k in it and cleaning the fuck out of the lot (the place was disgusting, I’m talking 90 industrial garbage bags of crap, mostly beer bottles, a couple tons of wood and concrete and so on)…

    Sometimes you’re just lucky and people don’t want to do what’s required to get what their property is worth!
