And now that we're ready for a bigger place, the market value is maybe 420k if we're lucky. So no, prices in Vancouver have not all gone up. You have to look at the area and type of home as well.

The single detached homes, and new houses with 2 basement suites and a laneway house being built, are what is driving the market average up and making everything seem hotter than it actually is.
