I don't know how much your dad was making to afford a house with one year's wages but here is one outside of Calgary for $240K which seems quite reasonable. Problem is that people want $240K on the inner harbour with a ocean view.

I think their 40 acre acreage was 30K. Moving away is a possible option yes. Market dynamics will always be at play. This is a desirable place to live. It is now more than ever desirable to live with more space and outside space making it even more desirable. I have no idea what the solution is but I do see the problem.
