It is unlikely the buyer was a generational Vancouverite and likely it was an immigrant buyer. It is no secret that generational buyers have been displaced from the single-family detached home market and this is not likely to change until the federal government begins restricting both the flow of people and capital from abroad. The supply of detached housing is dwindling given the need for multi-family redevelopment and the competition for both will get stiffer as time passes. A large portion of generationals will find themselves living in the low end of the condo market at best or renting if they wish to remain in Vancouver. Others will look to the suburbs and beyond to find that elusive commodity that politicians refer to as 'affordable housing'.
