The sales history on this one is wild: https://housesigma.com/bkv2/landing/...k97wJkJXxyKRjD

I can’t see the history without a “login” but back in ~2015-2016 my buddy lived in this house. It was a fucking dump and can confirm he ate a lot of McDonald’s lol.

Surrounding homes are still very much "Bowness" you'd be the most expensive house on the block

[pheoxs]

Feels like a really weird spot for the property to be in. Too expensive for future land value to rebuild as multiple units even though it’s a huge lot. And the house looks nice but way too much for a gut and reno but still be living in an old house. I do find it interesting they can list it as a new building when it’s still the original frame. Is there a metric for how much needs to be done to call it new?

Forget McD’s, this one is right next to a Tim’s. Like. Right. Next.

looks more like a trailer park home than an actual house.

Do you think that's to make it easier to pick up chicks from the trailer park to the west?

Sold 4 months ago and is back up already? I wonder what they found, lol. Asides from the double-wide exterior aesthetic, WTF is up with that garage placement?

[bjstare]

Maybe because they realized that being sandwiched in reasonably close proximity between highway 1 and the train tracks is not a peaceful place, regardless of the big yard and nice trees behind.

I could hear the train at night from my old house in Coach Hill, I can't imagine how loud it would be ~500m away from the tracks.

I also imagine there's quite the homeless population in the treed area between their property and the storage business's

Homes are for suckers

Why pay property taxes, utilities, and a mortgage when you can live for free literally anywhere!

This might be my favorite story of the year:

Literally just go build a house in a park. No taxes, no permits... no problems! Plus "advocates" are for it!



....meanwhile, my home insurance just quadrupled this year

Vancouver Park Ranger. lol.

Doesn't the lower mainland have like a million old sea containers that could be used as shelters? Get these advocates to find a spot for them, frame them in, insulate and voila.

I hear the port of Montreal is an extremely reliable exporter.

If I were homeless, I'd still take one over being in a tent.

Just needs some paint. Leave it to trimclad!

Most government buildings are in worse shape.

it's already in a pending state

[msommers]

The house is so fucking white it's blinding.

But that backyard is superb.

People from Ontario will buy anything.
