According to Demographia’s latest study (which I found quoted in The Guardian, so hopefully we’re not all spreading fake news), these were the least affordable major housing markets in the 3rd quarter of 2018*:
- Hong Kong
- Vancouver
- Sydney
- Melbourne
- San Jose
- Los Angeles
- Auckland
- San Francisco
- Honolulu
- London and Toronto
*In Australia, Canada, China [Hong Kong Only], Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States, as measured by median housing price / median household income.
