Canadians aren't too quick

So it took until August 2022 for "more Canadians" to finally foresee real estate prices falling. 

So from 2015 to 2022 it was "number always go up", all the while I was wondering who was able to afford these places, and why since 2015 the market didn't have a complete meltdown.

Just remember, it's a double edged sword. If Canadians took THIS. LONG. to figure prices were THIS. HIGH., I'm sure the masses will allow prices to hit UNFATHOMABLE lows before rebounding (after an unreasonable amount of years, mind you), because the narrative will flip to nUmBeR aLwAyS gO dOwN.
