I live about four hours due south of you and loved visiting Toronto as a kid. I had seen similar commentary recently about the real-estate market and thought folks were exaggerating. From what I could see, they weren't. Just now I was going to make a joke about the long game being in Nunavut but checked my work first and, uhh, nope. That's some crazy shit. $600k for a (nice) 5br on a half acre in the tundra? No thanks.

I know we look funny from up there but we do love y'all. My sister-in-law is from Guelph and lives in Ohio, we just accidentally bought matching F150's. So feel free to come down any time. The politics suck but the people are fine.

Unlike in the south, high property prices in the territories are due to the cost of shipping building materials, not the price of land.

It seems the pandemic has flattened that out. Construction material prices here in the midwest are up 100-150%.
