It will take Torontonians making a median annual income of $91,858 about 25 years to save for a down payment on a house, according to a new housing affordability report. But, the report also notes the real estate market is seeing improvement in affordability.

The National Bank of Canada (NBC) released its housing affordability report for the first quarter of 2023, where it analyzed the condo market, as well as other dwellings and the real estate market as a whole in 10 major cities across Canada.

The bank factored how long it takes a median-income household to save up for the cash down payment, which is measured by the number of months needed to save for the minimum payment at a savings rate of 10 per cent of its pre-tax income.

Food banks have become the norm for many lower and middle class Canadians.

Canadians need a government who will put them first!

One that will help struggling Canadians instead of fueling the fire!

A PPC government would:

➡️Stop mass immigration

➡️Cut spending, balance the budget, and lower taxes

➡️Stop funding foreign wars and initiatives

The setup of the match tie-break was important to see the direction of the flow, followed by its follow-up where every element counts (especially under perssure). Ramsbury set the first points really well, securing their one-point lead (1-0) after Joe’s forehand got Andrey’s forehand going too far. They followed with two service game holds (in match tie-break standards) until 3-0, with the latest being an unreturned serve, before doubling that mini-break with credits to Raj’s swift forehand return to Purcell’s serve.

A working serve+1 minimized the gap for Purcell/Andrey to 1-4, before Raj’s volley side failed in trying to respond to Andrey’s forehand to minimize the gap even further to 2-4. The next thing, a net exchange tested both pairs’ reflex with Andrey’s forehand error to close in response to Joe’s volley in several occasions, strengthening Ramsbury’s lead to 5-2. Unfortunately, Andrey double-faulted his service game for that lead to be extended (6-2) before the gap got minimized (6-3).

The last points affirmed Ramsbury’s control of the flow in the match tie-break after the aforementioned solid setup, combining the point construction and pacing to press Purcell/Andrey’s service game even further. An unreturned serve further expanded Ramsbury’s lead to 7-3 before they got away with the lead even if there were some gap minimizers in between (at the expense of Raj’s volley error), creating their match point to 9-4 thanks to Joe’s volley from the previous volley and forehand (to Andrey’s volley side). Ultimately, an unreturned serve secured Ramsbury’s match for the taking, winning the match tie-break 10-4 to secure their semifinal spot–likely the first after ages (with the most notable one dated all the way from Pune 250 last January).
