Imagine buying a home with a double-digit mortgage rate. That was the reality for many Canadians in the ’90s. 🏡
Home prices were lower, but borrowing came at a much higher cost. Today, higher property prices bring a different affordability challenge.

The real question is: what fits comfortably within your budget?
