Chinese Investors Driving Up Metro Housing Prices

Buying in Surrey is fine - if you also choose to live, shop, play, and ideally work near there too.

If you absolutely must buy your cakes from that bakery on Alma, or get your hair done on 4th Ave, or eat your sushi on Alberni Street, or keep your doctor near VGH, like one of my friends did after moving to Cloverdale - then it's a dumb idea to buy in Surrey.

City of Vancouver isn't the place for first-time buyers. Hasn't been for decades, but especially now. First time buyers will have to leave it (if they were lucky enough to live there in the first place), and set up a new life further out in the valley.
