A while ago you might have seen the following poster on the TTC and you would have said, “How can anyone afford that kind of money?”. The prices back then were starting to really inflate, and inflation was in very high gear. Interest rates might have been running around 15% for a mortgage. There was no mention of a Toronto housing bubble, but folks might have asked, “How can anyone afford this?“.

I can’t point to a specific year but early to mid 70s is a good guess. Definitely not into the 80s.
