My parents came to Canada in the early 70's and bought their first place in 1980. They rode through the tough times when interest rates were at their peaks.
But due to certain gambles that didn't pay out, they lost the house and we had to rent.
My wife's parents came to Canada in the early 80's.
Her dad worked 2 minimum wage jobs and learned english at night while her mom stayed home to watch the kids and they managed to raise a family as well as buy a house during the same high interest rate times.
Was I lucky? No. I needed a roof over my head and I was paying $700 per month in rent. I didn't get any free handouts.
The wife (GF at the time) said why don't we pool our money together and buy a condo. Better than paying rent for an old smelly basement, which is what we did.
Going back to what you said.
There are still condo's that are sub $300K in vancouver. They might not be the Shangri-La, but they aren't that bad.
Don't believe me.

But I guess these are not houses with land so it's not good enough.
