Sustainable? The mal-investment in non-productive assets that counts as growth continues apace. Nice work governments! |
Re: Vancouver real estate now 9.3 times incomes
The data is skewed because it only considers Vancouver. It is a bit like looking at London property prices and only considering The City. More useful data would be median house prices and median incomes in Metro Vancouver. Year on year data would be interesting as well.
That said, 'tis bloody expensive. |

Haha - i haven't really started looking yet - only at the checking out mls stage. Am going to away in feb, so will start seriously looking when I get back in march, although by then I reckon all I'll be able to afford is a garden shed. And even that will be a fixer-upper....

Maybe I did get caught up in the hysteria; comes from not wanting to miss the boat.

Our current tentative thinking is North Van - it's relatively more affordable than say west van or kits and still within striking distance of town (the only downside is it's where dboy lives;)). Not really sure about further out as I really hate commuting (my 10 min walk to work right now is priceless) and I'm not sure that I'd like the reality of living somewhere such as maple ridge or coquitlam.
