The way I see it is with the Liberal win, we'd continue our trajectory of expenses. The real inflation rate will be crazy and the general idea is that 2M would be the norm for some of Vancouver townhouses/duplexes while SFH would be north of 3M on average. They may come down a bit, I'd say maybe 10-15% correction, but then it's up from there.

Of course it might sound crazy, but I think if you add say $25-30 minimum wage, relaxed lending policies, the figured I mentioned above is not out of touch.

Honda should start a channel on YT just going around ripping apart new builds in the lower mainland. I’d totally like and subscribe to that!

The home as it sits today, keep in mind there’s been at least 2 open houses up to this point

I also really dislike this style of house - it looks really ugly in my opinion.

Just like this one in my MIL's neighbourhood:

That concrete wall in the middle actually sticks out farther than the front of the upper storey! And the right side (looking from the front) is completely windowless and featureless.

I'd be so tempted to perch a gargoyle or a garden gnome on the little bit of concrete that sticks out

Here's an example of AI "staging" that is just... straight up a different room, with different windows/layout. They didn't even bother to label it "AI staged" here...

I don't get the triangle roofs, I thought it was more of a duplex thing so they can squeeze a balcony in it.
