前几天看了一个讨论北温的帖子，很有启发。有没有熟悉西温的朋友，谈谈西温。如果买个180万的house，有什么建议。谢谢！

ambleside, british properties, 都是好区。西温西边、北边，也很好，但是除了可以走No. 1, 交通上很不方便，不大适合在这边上班的人。

You must be kidding, salary people can afford houses over $1.5M in West Van? As a couple we take home cash at 10K per month, and we can't even think about owning a home half of that price.

1.5米往西温挤只能做凤尾，除非在生意在西温

谢谢各位。不考虑交通，只考虑学校，能买到地小一点，有景的house吗？（不超过200M)

1) either people bought low in early years, so they have huge equity in their old houses, so moving up to 1.5M is possible;

2) west van, it will be difficult for renters, so i am sure there won't be rental income on this 1.5M house.

3) 1.5M house, you are looking at 20k taxes/maintenance/heating/hydro, 20k translate to 35k before tax income...

4) 1.5M with 0.5M down (how many people making salaries can save 0.5M?), at 30 years 4% will be $4800 per month, that means, you need $4800*3=$14400 monthly before tax income, so $173K per year. for salary people, who can guarantee 30 years at this salary? rate hike?

most people reading this board either won't be able to make $173K, or have no 0.5M. btw, my family income is above this level, hehe, but i don't have 0.5M, even if i have, i won't put all the money on house, eggs in one basket.
