Rules
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage: lemmy.ca
the market drop was tied to interest rates so the effective monthly mortgage is unchanged. Unless you've got a million bucks under your mattress to pay up-front, houses are still unaffordable.
renters are people too, and their prices have gone up, not down.
It's better to say "housing costs" rather than talking about the price itself. The costs wording includes things like mortgage interest, insurance, etc.
