These days, you ain't coming close to buying a house in Wilmette with a $853/month payment on a 20% down 30 year loan, even at the stupid low rates a couple years ago. You couldn't even buy a vacant plot of land there for that cost.
To rent a 1 bedroom in the most populated parts of Canada (southern Ontario) is like $1600-2000CAD/month or $1200-$1500 USD!
