72% calls home ownership an impossible goal.
42% report the cost of their mortgage is impacting their mental health and well-being; the highest percentage among all the provinces surveyed.
36% of BC residents would consider relocating to another province in order to own a home and 25% would relocate to a different country to make it reality.
