It’s no secret that it’s more expensive than ever to own a home in Canada. In fact, the average price of a home today is over $450,000, and in cities like Toronto and Vancouver, it’s well over a million dollars. With prices like that, how can a young person ever afford to own a home? My guest this week is Alyssa Davies, content specialist at Zolo.ca, Canada’s largest digital real estate brokerage, and founder of Mixed Up Money. She joins us to discuss the challenges faced by people entering the housing market and shares some ideas to help make the homeownership dream a reality.
