Depending on where you live that's way too high. That's like an NYC price or something.
Also depending on where you live that's way too low. Median home price in California is almost $800k.

Almost like $500k is a good rough number used to make a point.
Hmm. Now I wonder what the average is. Where I live 200k CAD isn't unusual, but then again you don't want to live here. On the other hand, a house in Vancouver might be 2 million CAD, from what I hear.
It would be a fine estimate on it's own, but it was actually used as a comeback to someone else claiming you could use a smaller amount for a downpayment, so I don't think the indignance that I'm questioning it is justified.
For 2 million in Vancouver you're living in a cardboard box
@EnglishMobster@kbin.social was making the point that $12k is typically not enough for a down payment on a house. They did some rough math as an example showing that a $500k house would require a $100k deposit if you're putting 20% down. You nitpicked this number. However $500k for a house is a very reasonable number, so I'm nitpicking your nitpick. I guess we're all assholes here.
Anyway, USA median house price is $420k. For a 20% deposit you'd need $84k. Canada is worse than the US with an average house price of almost $670k.
I wish you could buy a decent house for 500k in NYC…
What about a really basic house? I'll admit that was just a guess; USD is larger than CAD, and Canadian prices are already some of the largest in the world.
