Anyone else seriously confused how people are affording homes in Toronto right now?

Not trying to rant but I’m genuinely lost. Every time I see a house sell for over a million with multiple offers I just wonder who is actually buying these. My partner and I had to work very hard, with a high household income and years of saving, just to even think about buying a basic starter home.

Are people getting huge help from family? Making 300K a year? Living super frugally? I’d love to hear from folks who’ve bought recently. How did you actually make it work?
