It's buried in the thread, but yes.

Made the offer in March and closed in May. What would you like to know?

Now there is not a single townhouse for under 430K (not even including garage), regardless of having 10% down.... (same sqft)

Ugh
Yep, townhouses in the Tri-Cities have gone up about 25-30% since last year. They're still moving, but they're sitting on the market a bit longer now.

Detached houses are finally coming down in the City of Vancouver, but strata properties are holding steady. Eventually they'll have to come down too, but by how much, who knows?
