For a guy who's family income is $150k, I'm completely disgusted as a first time home buyer being unable to afford anything in reasonable proximity to Vancouver. If I or my realtor can determine your previous purchase price I guarantee you 100% you will not be making a profit on your sale to me. Don't even try. The crap that is priced between $300k and $400k is so horrible that there is NOTHING about a house in that price range that would ever entice me to buy at a premium. First thing you do is lop off -15% from last Jan08's price (that's just the market) and then lop off another -15% for good measure just to start the discussion or walk out and tell them see you in Jan2010.
