^ Surrey and Langley makes more sense to rent than buy compared to E Van/Burnaby? seems off.

does make the buy argument a bit stronger when these same places sell for just about 300k, the mortgage + strata + prop tax is only about 400 more per month (at current rates)
yeah was in the same boat few months ago. Rented a briefly for a reasonable price...when I looked around again the vacancy was slim pickings and rates shot up (E Van back to school season 12 months apart)
