100k goes considerably further in Vancouver than in many parts of the Bay Area. Real Estate Rents and Sell prices are between 40-100% more expensive in that region than where you are. I'd need to make about 180% of what I do here to get what I have here in Atlanta, GA
- rdouble 16y agoDoes it really? Vancouver is ranked something like #1 most unaffordable housing market in the world. As in, the average salary is $50K but the average home price is $500K. I guess you're right, if you actually ARE making $100K in Vancouver, it will be easier to buy the $500K house. However, the reality is that programmers there make about $60K, so you're better off being a real estate broker.
