Unless you move to Chilliwack. I don't think anyone "starting out" can buy much of a house on their "own" right now... Well unless you lived with the 'rent's till yours 30's and saved 300k. haha. That's actually pretty impressive.
I feel bad for the younger generation who requires at least 4 years of school, along with the debt that goes along with that to get a career. Then somehow needs to come up with 80-100k to put down on a beginner property.
I was a thrifty adolescent and managed to save when I was young (I swear I must have a drug or hooker problem now, I don't know where my money goes). But I did that living in a place with $300 rent (Northern Manitoba) and paid off school expenses early. Be happy if you have a family which can help you out, as it's giving you a good 5-10 year jump on life.
