After being an avid follower of this thread and GreaterFool, I actually just closed on our first home today and get the keys tomorrow, so this conversation is very pertinent.

Having broken down the numbers, with all housing and living expenses we are only just over half of our take-home incomes.

We were renting a 7-year old 2br 880sqft high rise in Richmond and bought an 8-year old 3br 1200 sqft low rise in Richmond. Home ownership costs (mortgage, strata, taxes) are an additional $350/mo vs renting.
