Weekly Drop Suberbs – February 5, 2014

Here are the 10 properties outside of Metro Vancouver (Vancouver West, Vancouver East, Burnaby, Richmond, North Vancouver and West Vancouver) that changed their price or were relisted under a new MLS number the previous 1 week AND have dropped the largest percentage overall from their original asking price.

3 in Maple Ridge and 2 in Anmore including a > 50% drop that has now been listed for over 6 years.  Unlike the Metro Vancouver price drop listings which are for the most part made up of delusional moron’s who are slowly coming down to reality, the suberb list is made up of foreclosures and serious financial losses

Ideally situated in the complex. Spacious 1 bedroom plus a DEN, perfect for a home office or childs room. Huge private sundeck overlooking east. Living room has laminate floor with a cozy gas fireplace. Central location within walking distance to parks, schools, and more!

Relisted by taking $50K and almost 30% off the previous price – either reality hit in (look at assessment) or possibly a foreclosure

Elegance, Luxury & Class best describes this 8800 SF 1 AC estate home, exuding Pride of Ownership and nestled on a greenbelt. The grand entrance starts your tour with the lib/off, formal Lvg. Rm & dng Rm gracing one wing & floor to ceiling windows connecting the main floor master, designer kitchen (plus wok kit), great rm & back garden access. Perfect for Pool, Sports court, summer kitchen & Entertaining. 4 bds up- all w/balconies & ensuites & the luxurious 2nd master ste with 7 piece enste, sitting area & private deck overlooking “Nature’s Paradise”. Downstrs is home to “Theatre Rm”, wine cellar, guest bed & great Rec & bar facilities. Very east to suite. Need a carriage home, Rv Pkg, wkshp??? Space Galore- Absolutely Special!!

A 53% price drop…  The assessment has also dropped $400K in just 2 years.  It’s probably reasonable priced now unless there is some other factor here – I highly doubt you could build this house for $1,890,000 right now.  The thing with Anmore is that there are a lot of incredibly beautiful homes with breathtaking views at very low prices – many lower than build price I would suspect.  The main issue in my opinion is that it takes 15 minutes to go to a convenience store (and the people of Anmore want it this way) and it is way too far away from everything.  Maybe when the Ioco lands get developed there will be some benefit to Anmore but until then I don’t see any good news for the people trying to sell their homes there.  This home in particular was grossly overpriced but at this point it is probably way underpriced.
