Realtor marketing now includes "borrow from the bank of mom and dad" lol.
Most people in Calgary who currently own homes couldn't buy in downtown Vancouver. If we want to have a discussion about how Vancouver real estate prices are broken, I'm totally for that, and agree. It just isn't a good example to use in a conversation in the overall ability of a subset of the population to buy a home.
