Looked up Vancouver ion Google Maps. Looks like mostly single houses. That needs to go if you want low house prices.

Yes, this. Six story 2x apartments per story + shared community space per 4 blocks = 48 units vs 4 units. The density also supports and drives community resources like shops, pubs, doctors and schools and makes public transport feasible. No need for 20 floor monsters.
