It went up a little, but nothing compared to the equivalent in rent you'd pay for the same place.

It's actually pretty comparable for me. My mortgage went up 40% which made the whole monthly cost of housing go up by 28%. Rents in the same building went up similarly but actually haven't quite caught up.
