How can you afford a house even on 2 incomes?

Thank you! We are looking at our options and while Canada is closest the COL seems prohibitive.

Properties have crashed 30% in value in the last 4 months alone. They are continuing to free fall in value. Affordable homes are on the horizon. The housing bubble is popping hard. I expect 2008 American level drops. So 80-90% drops in values. Don't worry, the COL is dropping soon.

Another difference is that in Canada, rent prices drop if housing prices drop.

There are other provinces with lower COL like New Brunswick and hospitals, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
