Fixer-uppers, commutes: Many making trade-offs to buy homes, report says

Nearly 65% of Canadians are willing to compromise to afford a larger or more suitable home, including living farther from city centers or buying older homes needing renovations. About 47% would move up to an hour away, and 20% would accept family financial help. Many would cut discretionary spending or extend mortgage terms. Despite declining home sales in most markets, prices continue to rise in over half of them.
