Great location in the heart of Burnaby! Definitely the best price in the area.Walkable distance to shopping mall, superstore, cinemas, library, bus loop, skytrain station, golfcourse, banks, community ctr & more. Very motivated Seller!! Bigopen patio for all sorts of gardening. Great price and size for students, young family/couple and retirees. Take advantage of the historically low interest rate!!! Can provide you with rough mortgage payment estimate. Why rent if you can buy for a lot cheaper?

“Take advantage of the historically low interest rate!!! Can provide you with rough mortgage payment estimate. Why rent if you can buy for a lot cheaper?”  Maybe because 1) interest rates will rise 2) you are not doing the real math if you think renting is cheaper and 3) when you do sell it in the future it will be worth even less and as a bonus you get to pay a nice big commission.  Listed for almost 3 years but this latest price drop shows that they are finally being reasonable.
