Vancouver Price Drop

Documenting Vancouver real estate price movements

Listing Requests – January 31, 2013

52 Comments Posted by on January 31, 2013

Once a month I’ll try to open up a Requests post where you can ask about listings that interest you.  Please limit it to a maximum of 3 properties per person.  Tomorrow I’ll post the price drop details along with any assessment / previous sale data I might be able to pull up.

Go ahead and put them in the comments now – please just give me the full address including City.  I don’t need the MLS Number

    Hi there – bowen island and/or the Gulf Islands? Doesn’t seem to be much movement there as far as I can see – would be interested in your perspective. Thanks a lot and keep up the great work – Craig

    There are suddenly six units available in this building but these three on the same floor have a wide range of price points. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Observer,
    I lived on the Sunshine Coast from October, 1995, until July, 2010 so I witnessed the mania that took place over a ten year span.

    My last two years there were spent in Sechelt in the Oracle Heights area and I did a lot of walking around the developments coming on stream there. A recent visit to coastal realty sites show many of finished houses and townhouses in those developments are for sale but what shocks is how many lots are for sale in unfinished developments from Gibsons to Pender Harbour.

    Now here is one property I walked by almost every day:

    6220 Mika Road, Sechelt, V0N 3A7.

    It is currently listed with Re/Max Oceanview Realty. If I remember correctly, in 2009, it was originally listed at $825,000 but is now listed at $640,000. I was just wondering if you could verify this. When it didn’t sell in 2009, the house was rented. Thanks.

    I’ve been tracking 8566 Karrman Ave (Burnaby) for a while. It started out at $739,900 in May 12 and is now down to $675,000, but I’d love to see a deeper history.

    Great! Thank you!

    I see great value of your site but do see one problem is that most of this significant drops are from those really out-f-reach overvalued listing.

    Grade you got the opportunity to draw some histories for those relatively reasonable listings.

    Here is mine, thx:

    Three houses in the ‘hood that have been listed and re-listed many times and never seem to have had anyone living in them:
    3540 West King Edward (‘new listing’ sign has reappeared for almost a year)
    3826 West King Edward (note the 24 foot lot)
    4480 Collingwood (on and off listing frequently)
    Congrats on the good work!

    Observer, I’ve got a couple of files that I collected a pile of 2011 and 2012 assessment data from BCAssessment (just before & after the new year). Most of the data that I pulled was “sold” info, although some neighbourhoods (where I stalk my friends/family’s recent RE purchases) have just the basic assessment data. Each Excel file has ~2500 unique lines. Are you interested in this data to incorporate into your database? If so, let me know where I can email the data.

    Jesus christ. Look at all these requests. Just the fact that so many people want to see so many varied properties is a testament to the sorry state of our closed data access. And this is just historical listings info. Imagine sales info requests. If anyone has information on the TREB/Competition Bureau fight, I’d appreciate an update. This data monopoly sickens me.

    435 West 29th avenue just sold recently but had been on the market for at least a year. It was advertised as a “miracle home” on the Remax sign out front. What did it sell for?
    Did 217 West 21st Avenue ever sell in 2012 because now it is re-listed
    Finally, in “Real Estate Talks”, 3996 west 31st was discussed. It just sold for over asking. Why?

    Hey there. I’d like to see an updated number on foreclosures… I think this train is gathering steam, but an industry overview would be interesting and enlightening I think!

    Recently the City put some Olympic Village condos at Shoreline, 138 Athlete’s Way, on sale. Don’t know how many sold. Would love to know. And would love to know what they sold for. Especially the only two that sold above the ground floor–so 2 oh something and 3 oh something.

    I’ve heard stories about 55% off asking. But the asking sounded higher than anything I’ve seen posted.

      Hi Mac, there’s an issue with maintenance at 138 Shorline as the fees will be going up significantly in the spring so that’s what’s turning away buyers they will have to lower their prices by 50% to make buyers come in and buy to offset the high maintenance fee. There’s a building in the village called compass don’t’ ever buy there maintenance for 1 bedroom $500 a month, 2 bedroom is $750 a month…ouch!

    Interested to know whatever happened to 2656 W 41ST AVE featured in one of your your 2012 spotlights. Prices in the Kerrisdale area seem relatively more resilient. Perhaps the rich have deep enough pockets to wait it out longer(?)

    Sold prices for the previous calendar year (currently 2012, of course) can be found at http://evaluebc.bcassessment.ca
    Search function is not too user-friendly, but works.

    Hey Observer, great work. I have two general areas of interest (no specific listing, just trends):
    1. Cambie corridor – tracking the rise and fall of Canada Line real estate.
    2. Low rise apartments vs. high-rise apartments. I’m convinced low rise will fare better than high-rise but don’t have any info to substantiate the theory. Just wondering if you have any way of tracking listings by type of structure (those 4 stories or less vs. those units in buildings over 4 stories).

    Thanks for the great work and entertaining commentary.

    217 W21 last sale was in 2005

    3996 W31 Not a foreclosure, could be any number of reasons it sold over asking. Assessed
    value is $1,485,000.
