A bungalow - let me say that again - a bungalow!!! For over 800K! I really hope somebody gets a dose of reality because it seems to be in short supply.

'100 exec townhouses â€“ less 28 units sold = roughly 70 units still availableprices starting $839,900'1) Other new SFHs -freehold not strata title- at Furry Creek start at $799,900 including GST2) So why is he relinquishing his prized trophy for a mere $10k more than developers current starting price?â€œOr perfect for downsizing from a larger home.â€œNo kidding. 3 flight of stairs! The Howe Sound rains are 3x more than other parts of GV. Not kind to the arthritic geriatic. â€This is a real community where you can get to know your neighbors.â€Didnâ€™t they say that itâ€™s better to own freehold properties than strata-title.Also assuming all those downsizing are partying-potsmoking crowd, will blend in.

Hmmm, $350K eh? Maybe it's time to get a haircut, put on a suit, and go climbing that corporate ladder.On second thought…nahh…why bother. I can buy a house in Vancouver and do buggar all for a couple of years and make the same amount of money on appreciation!Home equity loans should take care of those pesky living expenses.Damn, life is good here!

Did anyone watch Globus at 6pm tonight that they can't find talents to move to Vancouver to take up jobs paying $350K/annum!!! Coz no one wants to move here given the priorities of their spouses, families, housing and qualities of life in other cities.
