Crazy to think how that's all you get in Vancouver for 3+ million. I can fathom paying 10k monthly just for the mortgage....

I'm pretty sure at that level they will have significant down payment if not cash deal. I highly doubt it's 80% loan on a $3m house or you are barely scraping the down payment together

Holy fuck | Showed up on my hotsheet this afternoon. Paragon broker side is real time. Probably lag on the client portal. Quote:

Solds don't get posted until both brokerages compile the paperwork and is sent to the board for processing.

Detached home ownership in the City of Vancouver is only for a specific echelon of households now... and yes, for them, $2M to $3M is nothing. Many of these households are on RS, RedFlagDeals, etc. and are younger/less "foreign" than people out there think.
A millennial household that we're friends with just had their offer accepted on a $4M house in Quilchena. That's who's in the game now.

^Exactly.
In my industry, I'm quite privy to the salary amounts people carry in some of the largest employers in the city.
The salaries to support such ownership costs are simply not there. Any anecdotal stories are purely that, anecdotal.
I believe much of it (if millennials) is parent/family money, which is generally a small percentage of the population.
People are underestimating how many numbered shadow LLCs are being put together with multiple investors simply to use this residential market for investment growth purposes, I would say that's probably the primary issue here in terms of costs, pure speculation. Why invest in the market when you can get some people together (including foreign investors) and see +40% returns in the span of a year in real-estate? It's insane.

If so, what kind of clients do you have where 2-3m is nothing? Speaking about the ones buying for the purposes of making it a legit principal residence.

For 2-3m to be nothing is pretty tough, i'm guesstimating a 250-300k household income?

-senior couple in their 70s that sold their home as part of a land assembly and bought a new home for $2.5m in Coquitlam - took a $200k mortgage
-Couple in their 50s sold their land assembly Shaughnessy home and moved to Coquitlam as well, $2.4m cash. Wife is a teacher.
-Couple divorced, sold their Westside home, bought it in 2009 for $1.8m, sold for triple, husband bought $2.5m cash condo downtown. He's a doctor as well.
-$2m cash purchase few years ago in Renfrew Heights, Chinese guy who owned clothing factory, it was his 20th property here
just a few examples from my experience

So my family GP makes like 145k I think last time I looked
Say her Husband is also a doctor and makes a little more than she does, 200k
345k dual household income is pretty substantial, and I doubt they would be looking at 3-4m homes lol..
You’re talking about business owners, CEO, etc. When you’re getting into these prices, not just two people with “good jobs”

Personally, if I think about everyone I know that owns a detached home: they either bought it 5 - 7 years ago OR they are a beneficiary of family money that helped them get into the market.
Also - Looking at the strata where I currently live, there is a very high number of units that are owned by numbered or what look like shell companies. I'm sure our strata is not unique in that.

A 2000000 mortgage puts your housing costs at about 13k/month so say you have 1000000 down for a 3 million dollar home.
300k a year salary puts your take home (for one person) and around 16k/month.
Leaves you with 3k a month as a doctor lol. Enough to eat at cactus club once a week and pay for your f80.

| Bingo. We're talking about people who send their kids to private schools. These are the households that are buying these properties.

So bought land when it was cheap, bought land when it was cheap, doctor who bought land when it was cheaper and an uber-rich foreigner. Those are hardly normal people.

Edit: I shall add, their expectations are high, but so they should be. 2 million is easily doable for them, but your living in a rundown place(if you want to live in Vancouver). Realistically they will buy waterfront on the island for the same coin, in a “nice” place to live.
