If you’re in the market to buy a home in Vancouver or Richmond then you know the market is very active and prices are up. Chances are when you find a home you’re going to have to act fast and you’ll probably be in competition with other buyers. It can be extremely stressful and you may be filled with doubt.  My simple advice is to see it through, there is always going to be some second thoughts and stress even in a buyers market.  As long as you buy and hold that home for 8 to 10 years and you only buy what you can comfortably afford you’ll do fine. Certainly much better than paying market rent over the next 10 years.
