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.

有不少住1.5M+房子的人仍然在上班.
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.
