If the issue of the Vancouver housing market could be put into a physical form guaranteed it would be a giant red button that reads ‘Hot Topic’. On a continual rise for the past 15 years, prices in the housing market in Vancouver are showing no signs of dropping any time soon. In January the average price of a detached single family home reached a record high $1.65 million, a 22.5% gain over the same month in 2015. To add to this the gap between condos, previously viewed more affordable alternative, and single family homes is steadily closing.

With all of this what is a poor up and coming young professional, or even the wealthy young professionals who are  tired of paying what feels like ransom every month in rent to do? Live with a roommate until you're 50? Strategically stay in your parents basement until they pass away and you can take ownership of their house?
