Canadian Quiz

[Jaydaan]

The quiz is for Vancouver, not Victoria
Victoria is on the Island, and no doubt even MORE expensive.

Not all places are like that. Vernon is different, the closer you get to the lakes, the more you pay.
You can get an older 3 br house with basement 2 blocks from my work for something like 219 000. Tidy, new renos inside, 1/4 or 1/3 of an acre lot. Not great, but a good first house or investment property. It is a 3 min drive to downtown, and a 10 min drive to Okanagan lake and 15ish to Kalamalka lake.

A 6 br, 5 bathroom, 3 car garage, with detatched shop for all your toys on one of the lake, including in-law suite and boat launch, with an acre or so of land is 1.5ish mil.

Most modest family homes (3-5 br, 2 baths some with in-law suites) go from $299 000 to 499 000.
