    Is it just me, or did they never get around to answering the question?

    In my area, the required combined income for a first time home was $120,000 back in 2017; I can only imagine it’s gone way up since then, considering property values have doubled.

        Yeah, but dual earners each earning $115k means they’re earning $230 combined which is well over the threshold for a first home purchase, even in Vancouver. Or did they mean combined salary?

          Home income. As mentioned in the article.

          Which is $40k higher than the Canadian median home income of $75,000 in 2024.
