The starter home isn't dead — it just looks a lot different than it used to 🏡

A new build that cost $120,000 in 1997 is selling for $600,000 today 😳 and that shift has completely changed what getting into the market looks like for first-time buyers. The good news? Condos, townhouses, co-ownership, and markets outside the major city centres are all opening doors that didn't exist a generation ago.
