Mark has already covered the hard numbers for you, so there is little point for me to add on that matter. But I'll add the reminder that with the way current Vancouver housing prices are heading, the purchase price that you end up paying when you finally buy a few years down the line is almost certainly going to be a moving target trending up, up, and further UP. 2 corollaries to this is, the location you're considering will probably start sliding further away into the east / southeast / south, and the final purchases home size will be smaller than your current target home size.
