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!

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... 3813 W 15th Ave   | |

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

Long term will highly depend on population and supply.

If it isn't great, at least you'll get a good deal on whatever you're buying!

But we’ll see, hopefully the inventory in that area picks up a bit.
Quite a lot of inventory on the market but a lot of sellers unwilling to drop prices or very poor condition homes.
