With interest rates at a multi-decade high and long-run home prices far outpacing wages, many in the province wonder whether they\u2019ll ever be able to afford a home and, if they are able to, where to find the most attainable properties. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help potential homebuyers answer these questions and more, Wahi recently launched the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wahi.com\/ca\/en\/wahis-roadmap-to-housing-affordability-ontario\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roadmap to Housing Affordability: Ontario Edition<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The Roadmap to Housing Affordability is an interactive tool that identifies which parts of the province may be affordable for homebuyers, based on their household income and median home prices in 245 local housing markets. (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wahi.com\/ca\/en\/learning-centre\/real-estate-101\/buy\/wahi-roadmap-housing-affordability-ontario\/#:~:text=How%20Wahi%20Calculates,excluded%20from%20calculations.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read more about the tool<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.) The tool is also a treasure trove of real estate data. Illustrating this point, here are 10 facts about Ontario housing affordability that we\u2019ve pulled from the Roadmap to Housing Affordability:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/wahi.com\/ca\/en\/real-estate\/on\/renfrew\/deep-river?active=true&amp;propertyFilters_maxSquareFt=500&amp;zoneIds=\">Deep River<\/a> is the most affordable local housing market anywhere in Ontario.\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You probably haven\u2019t heard of Deep River. It\u2019s a small town on the Ottawa River and about 200 kilometres northwest of Ottawa. About 4,000 people live here. Notably, the median price of a Deep River home is $322,250, the lowest in the province. Your monthly mortgage payments on a home of that price would be $1,563, also the lowest anywhere in Ontario. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>2. No local housing market in Ontario \u2014 including Deep River \u2014 is affordable on an average salary.\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s right. It\u2019s no secret that housing affordability challenges go beyond the big cities, but it may surprise you to find out that, according to Wahi\u2019s Roadmap to Housing Affordability, even the tiniest town is out of reach for anyone earning the <a href=\"https:\/\/ca.indeed.com\/career-advice\/pay-salary\/average-salary-canada\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">average Ontario salary<\/a> of about $60,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>3. Only <a href=\"https:\/\/wahi.com\/ca\/en\/learning-centre\/real-estate-101\/buy\/wahi-roadmap-housing-affordability-ontario\/\">one Ontario city is affordable<\/a> on an average household income. \u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s hard out there for dual-income households, too. Roughly a four-hour drive from Toronto, the city of <a href=\"https:\/\/wahi.com\/ca\/en\/real-estate\/on\/nipissing\/north-bay?active=true&amp;propertyFilters_maxSquareFt=500&amp;zoneIds=\">North Bay<\/a> has a median home price of $401,950, meaning a household income of $100,000 is required to qualify for a mortgage. The municipality, known as the Gateway of the North, is home to about 50,000 people, so while it has the official city designation, it\u2019s a far cry from major urban centres like Hamilton, Ottawa, or Toronto.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;
