I have family in Vancouver but am living in Calgary. Of late I have been more opened to moving to Vancouver. Looking at Kitsilano cuz I like the shops, active lifestyle, the beach, and the proximity to other locations.

What I am thinking is summer time is not the best time to buy due to higher prices? Would that be an accurate assessment? I have a house in Calgary and if I do move it would be a lot smaller place for the same (or more) money.

Have checked mls.ca and seen some nice places. Anyone here live in Kits? Any recommendations as to which areas might be more ideal? Closer to beach has it benefits but anywhere between 4th and 10th is alright too. How about West end of Broadway? Is it still noisy? I have driven by Cornwall, Point Grey, Broadway, 4th and will do so again. Also might check out couple open houses this weekend. Not ready to move yet as I need to firm up my work situation (I work up in Northern Alberta). Also need to sell my house first if I do buy here. Don't think I want two mortgages.

Thanks!

PS If you have a place for rent I would be into that too until I make a decision.
