The Missing Middle with Mike Moffatt and Sabrina Maddeaux

Why You Can’t Build Cheap Homes Anymore


Listen Later

When Mike bought his first home, it cost him $168,000. That number barely covers a downpayment in much of Ontario these days – and even if a developer wanted to, it could not offer that price (even indexed to inflation) because the costs to build are just so high.

Mike and Cara break down the costs associated with home-building, including land prices, development charges, construction costs, and taxes, while also examining the impact of these factors on housing affordability.
