Putting an offer on a home is an awful process. Either someone outbids you or you are left questioning whether you offered more than what it is worth.

It's nuts out there. A couple I know, one of which is a carpenter while the other works with individuals with disabilities, moved up to Dawson because it's so bad here in Nanaimo. By the time they got to look at something it'd be sold.
Another couple, one of which is a red seal electrician while the other does reception or something for the RCMP, brought their buying price up to 800k in Nanaimo because there's less competition for those houses. Most people don't have that kind of financial range though.
My youngest sibling, at almost 23, will be a red seal electrician soon and I'm skeptical of his ability to get into the market. I just don't understand how prices can go up, and up, and up while wages stagnate. It ain't the average Canadian who's able to afford property nowadays that's for sure.
