Vancouver Housing News

Here is an interesting article about the Vancouver housing boom

Who in their right mind would want to pay these kinds of prices.

The price of a benchmark condominium in Greater Vancouver has risen 111.5% in the past five years to a disgustingly unaffordable $377,579.

The price of a benchmark townhouse in Greater Vancouver has risen 100.8% in the past five years to a sickeningly unreachable $456,941.

The price of a benchmark single family home in Greater Vancouver has risen 95.5% in the past five years to nauseatingly excessive $730,399.

Even adjusted for inflation we are far above any historical norm.
