    Double that for Canada

    $2,172,613 ($1,586,224.75 USD) if you want a detached in the Vancouver area

    Condos bring the average down as they only cost $816,356 ($596,021.52 USD) which is pretty affordable as far as housing is concerned around the city

      Detached homes shouldn’t even exist in Vancouver metrocore anymore so, it makes sense to be a fortune

          Yeah, I know. It goes from “impossible luxury” to “barely affordable” as you go from downtown towards the edges of the metro region. Just saying that it’s not surprising for Vancouver that those prices are so jacked up.

          It may surprise those who don’t live here that 80% of Vancouver proper looks like a sleepy suburb of detached single family homes. It is mostly detached homes here. Even a townhouse can take a decade to build due to NIMBYs.
