Affordability remains a challenge for first-time buyers in the Vancouver market,\u201d Altus said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadianrealestatemagazine.ca\/news\/vancouvers-tenants-and-their-singlefamily-home-dreams-250776.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vancouver&#8217;s Tenants &amp;
