http://www.vancouver-downtown-condo.ca/details.php?id=31618&br=1 http://www.vancouver-downtown-condo.ca/details.php?id=31618&... $300k (USD) 1 bd room apartment in Yaletown, equivalent of this in SF is at least $750k. Plus property taxes in SF are around %1.15 for a $750k condo that comes down to 10k a year, just on property taxes. Not sure about the rules in Vancouver but the link I posted above claims $1,008 in property taxes. So yea I think Vancouver is affordable.

It would be pretty much impossible to buy that unit at that price. The new normal is that you list your property at below market rate and a get nice silent auction going. for example a friend of mine just bought a condo in vancouver last week, List price was around 500K, he put an offer of $530, got a counter of $550 and it finally sold for $580. http://bc.ctvnews.ca/fierce-bidding-wars-a-new-reality-in-lower-mainland-housing-market-1.2767908 http://bc.ctvnews.ca/fierce-bidding-wars-a-new-reality-in-lo...

  San Francisco homes typically go over asking too. I've seen 900k listings sold for 1.3 million.
