What 25 year old is going to buy an $800k house? You're feeding into the stereotype.
A person who wants to have a family? It's great that you can get a 1 bedroom for $400k, but how then how do you make the next step up?

Once again it can be done...pour all money into savings age 18-25, buy condo age 25, buy house in undesirable neighbourhood age 33, buy actual house age 40.

This was not the experience a generation ago. It was more like buy house age 25.
