If you want a decent place with more flexibility (ie. 3 bed/2bath up and > 1200sqft), in a nicer neighborhood with curb appeal you're going to need 1.4+ and that's before another 300k in renovations.
To make matters worse, 1.1-1.5M detached is the hottest market segment.
Adding: An unrenovated, average 40-50 year old Vancouver special will run you 1.4-1.5M before renos.

Well, that's fucking depressing, ain't it? Trading a 10yo home for one thats 80+.
Dont know what to do! Another million bucks in my back pocket would surely help
