I looked at house prices in Gibsons, BC and holy crap are they expensive! 😱

Almost all desirable towns in BC are the same way. Revelstoke is another example of being a victim of its own success. Growing up I remember it basically being a truck stop off the highway. Now it's an outdoor playground mecca with housing prices rivaling Kelowna and Victoria.

I didn’t realize Revelstoke’s prices had risen so much. Crazy.
