What the others have said is true. But you'll want to visit the area before deciding where you want to buy. Vancouver is a huge metropolitan area -- if you are dead set on having a "Vancouver" address you'll pay a premium for that. But you can get much more for your dollar if you decide to live in the 'burbs or even further afield. Really depends on what you want it for.
