Yellowknife couple spent 18 months house-sitting before they bought their first home (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For about 18 months, Nicholas and his fiancée didn’t pay rent. Instead, they moved from house to house across Yellowknife, taking care of homes, pets and plants while owners were away. The unconventional arrangement helped the couple save for a $72,000 down payment on a detached house in Whitehorse, which they bought for $779,000 in November, 2024. Nicholas, 35, an electrician, and his 36-year-old fiancée, a speech therapist, spent 4½ years living in Yellowknife before moving to Whitehorse in Ju

Read excerpt
At 26, Meghan went from paying $1,200 a month for a one-bedroom basement apartment to owning a three-bedroom townhouse with a monthly mortgage payment of $1,205. She bought the 1,666-square-foot home in St. John’s for $258,000 last month. The attached townhouse has 1½ bathrooms, a basement, a backyard and a two-car driveway. It sits on a cul-de-sac across from a park, about a 15-minute drive from her job. As a single woman buying alone, Meghan said feeling safe in the neighbourhood was her “numb

Read excerpt
In 2024, Irena moved back to Toronto from Newfoundland. At 40 years old, she had been running her own business for about eight years and was earning a six-figure income. Because her business operated across Canada, she had the flexibility to move around the country. Back in the city she grew up in, she decided to buy her first home. But as a self-employed business owner and solo buyer, she didn’t have the qualifying income or enough savings to secure a favourable mortgage for even a one-bedroom
At 50, Tony bought his first home with his wife, a $500,000 Whitehorse townhouse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 2022, Tony and his wife bought their first home: a three-bedroom, 2½-bathroom end-unit townhouse in Whitehorse, Yukon, for about $500,000. It was a milestone that felt distant a few years earlier, when the couple was living in Victoria and watching home prices climb. Tony and his wife, now 55 and 47, immigrated to Canada from Europe in 2008 and settled in Victoria. They arrived with little money and spent their first years as renters, establishing their careers and raising their son. “It just
Priced out of Halifax, this single mom bought land and built herself an off-grid home (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mariam’s path to homeownership has been untraditional, shaped by a pandemic-era surge in Halifax housing prices. The 42-year-old single mom lives in a two-bedroom, one-bathroom off-grid home that she built herself on 38 acres near Bridgewater, N.S. She has no mortgage, no utility bills and financed it all without borrowing from a bank. “I needed to have some agency in the midst of all of these massive global shifts,” she said. “If I have a little pocket in the world, maybe I’ll feel a bit more s
