With two small boys and two government jobs, we want to stay in BC. Rent is significantly more than our mortgage. How long until housing prices in Vancouver come down to realistic prices? We can absorb interest rate and tax increases in our current situation. Is it better to stay put with minimal debt, or sell and watch our profits go in to rent?”
