A significant portion of Vancouver Real Estate is in recession. However there are still areas with appreciation. Eg West Van SFH - which is up 20% over 5 years, but there are special reasons (see the last comment someone put up on my last post) or East Van SFH up over 30% due to forced gentrification from Van West's high prices. I think Whistler's apartment numbers must be an aberrant number.
What I see is a Mexican stand-off in much of Vancouver, with the very high priced houses still selling but at a discount.
