There certainly are good deals available now for near new units as some are cashing out or getting out of the market due to market uncertainty. For those who must buy presale and new for whatever reason, maybe not.

If your finances can manage it, now is not a bad time to buy to live. You can argue that things may be cheaper in a couple of years, and many signs point to that happening, but there`s always the element of risk (and will the market drop enough to offset what you will end up paying for rent until you buy, whenever that may be). If you`re buying to invest, probably not a great idea.
I see you drank the cool aid

Vancouver is still unaffordable, prices have 20-30% to come down, and they will
