In seriousness, not all metro areas have seen the same huge rise in rents and property values. I can personally vouch that the Baltimore-DC region offers relatively high paying jobs and housing that is adorable given those incomes. I've heard San Antonio, TX is also good on the jobs to housing costs front.
- vkou 7y agoNeither Baltimore or San Antonio are in Canada.
- fujiters 7y agoMontreal and Quebec City seem reasonable, but this is based purely on a few web searches. I hope you end up in a place where you can start building some financial security. Also, run the numbers on long term renting in areas where housing prices are high. There's sometimes a high opportunity cost to having a ton of your savings stuck in the down payment for a house when you could otherwise have it invested in low cost index funds or something similar.
