There are, however, some cities where it is easier to climb up the property ladder if there is only one source of household income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a dual-income household can greatly improve your purchasing power and ability to qualify for a mortgage, but that\u2019s not to say homeownership is impossible for single-income households. We\u2019ve crunched the numbers of different markets across the country to find the regions where single-income buyers are more likely to be able to secure a home and the types of properties that are most affordable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/10-regions-below-average-price\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">10 Canadian Regions with Below Average Home Prices and the Homes you can Buy There<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The average and benchmark home prices were sourced from the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) and regional real estate boards to determine which markets were the most affordable. To determine the minimum income required to qualify for a mortgage on the average home, we assumed the buyer would make a 20% down payment and receive a mortgage with the current average interest rate of 5.14% amortized over 30 years. Those findings were then compared to median income data of \u201cpersons living alone who earned employment income\u201d as reported by Statistics Canada in their latest available census data from 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">There are still options for single-income buyers in Canada\u2019s housing market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Home prices rose dramatically in the wake of the pandemic, so options for single-income home buyers look a little more sparse since our <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/buy-a-home-on-a-single-income-canada\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">previous report in 2019<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, but there are still options. While household budgets are stretched thinner with rising inflation, this analysis compares qualifying mortgage amounts versus regional income levels.&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/regina-sk-real-estate\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Regina <\/span><\/strong><\/a>takes the top spot out of the 20 selected cities for the greatest affordability.&nbsp;A buyer earning the median income of $58,000 would qualify for the purchase of an average-priced home in this Saskatchewan capital. The average price of a home here is $322,800, significantly below the national average.

A single-income household in Toronto earning the median income of $64,000 would be $132,875 short of the qualifying amount on the average home priced at $1,210,600. &nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/vancouver-bc-real-estate\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Vancouver<\/span><\/strong><\/a> is a similar story, with an average home price of $1,223,780, buyers would be $139,013 out of range if earning the median of $56,400.

For single-income buyers, condo apartments are the most affordable option across the board, with seven different regions having lower benchmark prices than the maximum affordability in those areas. Detached home types are difficult to purchase for single-income households, with minimum down payments. However, townhouses are more affordable in Edmonton, St John\u2019s, Lethbridge, and Regina if you&#8217;re looking for a condo alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, anyone looking to purchase a condo apartment in Edmonton can expect the greatest affordability. The least affordable property type is detached homes in Vancouver, with a steep benchmark price of $2,057,200 versus the median income of $56,400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the infographic below to see which Canadian housing markets and property types are the most affordable for single-income buyers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"1141\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Buying-With-a-Single-Income.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19695\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Buying-With-a-Single-Income.png 600w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Buying-With-a-Single-Income-158x300.png 158w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Buying-With-a-Single-Income-539x1024.png 539w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Buying-With-a-Single-Income-768x1460.png 768w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Buying-With-a-Single-Income-808x1536.png 808w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Buying-With-a-Single-Income-1077x2048.png 1077w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Buying-With-a-Single-Income-750x1426.png 750w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Buying-With-a-Single-Income-1140x2167.png 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Methodology<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Income gap: <\/strong>The income gap is calculated as the difference between the median total income for persons living alone who earned employment income, and the income required to purchase the average home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Home prices:<\/strong> July 2022 average and benchmark home prices were sourced from the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) and regional real estate boards where required.
