The difference is, the older units are built to be SFH replacements. Whereas nowadays units are built to a price/size/amenity desires. For new immigrants coming from Asia, the small size doesn't pose to be a problem, for everyone of us here who's lived here for 20 years, these new units are terrible.
All the units in my area / condo are 6xx-7xx sqft 1BR's.

I managed to swipe a 7xx + 200 patio + 100 covered balcony + 2 parking spots for $5xx, they're all selling pretty quick for $6xx+ despite next to skytrain. The interest rates don't seem to affect the price of good units in Vancouver. Everyone wants to be close to the city and reduce commute.
