We may be in the early stages of another housing bubble and it could all come crashing down like it did ten years ago. A lot of people are in over their heads and housing prices must be getting close to peaking.

No... a lot of overseas buyers drove prices up over the years. And a lot of old money also.
My brother has an almost identical house as mine in North Van, much cheaper than Van proper. His house, $2M, mine in Kelowna (4 hours away) just over a 1/4 of that (and even our prices... I'm in about as cheap an area you can buy...). Crazy.

I would feel bad for you, but we aren't supposed to like Canada anymore.

If you can swing the C7 I'd say do it! I work at a dealership thats down the road from a Chevy dealer soooo I can relate to the drooling. It happens every day on my way to work

Is your house paid for? If yes then buy the C7, if no then be smart!
