There are also adjustable mortgages in the US, and as another commenter already pointed out, if rates go down you can always refinance, and you’ll have the ability to permanently lock in that lower rate. So I would argue that the Canadian system actually had no advantages at all over the American system.
There’s also FHA loans for those with not great credit, and VA loans for veterans. VA loans also allow 0% down
Let’s break this down. Plugging these numbers into a mortgage calculator, yes a $600,000 home with a 3% interest rate would be a payment of ~$2024/month. However, this assumes a 20% down payment, $0 property taxes, $0 insurance, $0 HOA etc.
However, an 850k house at an 8.5% interest rate with those same numbers would “only” be $5228/month. Additionally, as other commenters have pointed out, interest rates are not that high.
OP is straight up lying to you at worst, or just cherry picking numbers in a very deceiving way at best.
Not that I’m trying to argue housing is affordable. Just that people will go on the Internet and tell lies to spin a narrative and drive engagement.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Haskellers when someone boasts about Typescript's fake type system.
3·5 months agoListen I absolutely love rust but it’s not even close. Typescript’s type system is orders of magnitude more powerful, to the point where it is actually turing complete.
Market share just means what percentage of the market (in this case computer owners) use the product (in this case Linux ).

Just curious! It’s not super common that people from poorer countries are on Lemmy speaking English, but Ukraine makes sense
