We see crazy numbers thrown around like > $1 million average selling price for a Vancouver home and people, especially people outside of Vancouver, are of course shocked. Well that’s nothing because what most outsiders don’t realize is that in most places in the lower mainland, $1 million doesn’t get you a whole lot of home. The majority of people just want to live in a slightly above average home, say the 60th percentile of homes – so for example, if there were 100 homes in an area, what does the 40th most expensive home get listed at? Well that’s the focus of today’s post.
