Doesn't mean there aren't people who can afford property at this price point at current interest rates.

A 10-20% reduction in a 500k condo to say 420k goes a long way for people shopping at this price segment.

It's the low cost of credit propping prices up.

500K at 6.5% 25yrs 5yr term 3400$ a month
500k at 2.2% 25yrs 5yr term 2200$ a month
750k at 2.2% 25yrs 5yr term 3400$ a month

What I could afford in 2007 500k at 6.5%, vs now is a 750k mortgage at 2.2%, not including any gains in personal wealth ability to put a larger down payment, cap gains i've made in the past 9yrs, or ability to afford more by making more on an annual basis
