With 0 expenses, I'd say it's equivalent to making $120,000 a year gross with bills. A few acquaintances I met are in this situation, it's a pretty good life. You get to live in Vancouver, all bills paid for, have money to lease or buy a nice BMW/Audi/MB, eat out every meal. Still able to save $5 to 10k a year. Got a garage at home, parents to make food, house is always clean.
Only downside is you live at home which I argue isn't a downside if you're a girl. Good luck dating if you're a guy lol.

$1,899,000 | Damn, this Van Special is like a really shitty version of my parents place. I had just been saying last week to them their place is probably worth just over $2m. This is nuts. Last summer they had considered selling their house to me for $1.8m.
My BIL has upped his budget closer to $2m and even that only gets you an ok home in Richmond in most cases.

I would at least charge $500-700/mth (way less than market) but help with household expenses and their contribution towards my retirement car. It's called teaching responsibility.

So Cencus results are in, and Canada is the fastest growing country out of the G7 countries…. Unless these cities start allow training and a shit ton of plan approvals these prices aren’t going anywhere.

Everyone I chat with somewhere seems to tell me they "just moved here." People from Fort Mac, Toronto, even a whole extended family from Albania of all places.

2000sf 110y.o. character home on Main/22nd goes for 2.9m, listed for 2.1m. Holy shit man. That's more than a full 3400sf new build was a year ago (2.5m)

My MIL lives in that neighborhood; she’s sitting on a gold mine. | Friends of ours lived in that neighbourhood for a few years and had a similar styled house.
They sold and bought in Arbutus Ridge, but yes, it's a very popular neighbourhood amongst a certain demographic.

On topic of interest rates:
A few pages back people renewing around 1.2 for variable.
Being offered with 1.4 over the phone with TD for variable thru a mortgage broker.
Used RBC in the past, their mortgage brokers are your friend until you sign the papers and then they ghost, so looking to jump ship.
Now that I've said this, rbc will call me, I bet they will offer me a low variable rate and il have a hard time saying no to
