I bought a pre sale condo simply because I got a good discount (my company built it so I know it uses good material and as an employee I get to pick the unit first and get a decent discount). Location is awesome, price is nice and overall I feel even if I don't live in it I will have no problem renting it out for $1200 a month to cover much of the mortgage. If I do decide to move in with my partner the location is next to to Metrotown so I don't have to drive and shopping is right there. The area is still quiet (On Nelson and Kingways). There is a park and community center nearby.
It just depends on yourself that's all. If I didn't get the discount I wouldn't have bought it. The condo cost $310k and currently I have 100k save up and I can save another 50k to 80k till the condo is complete. So really I only need to borrow 150k or less which isn't too bad.
