Dave,

There are no fixer uppers for $300,000 in the Lower Mainland anymore. If you head much farther out, away from the Vancouver/Burnaby/Richmond core, then you might find something in the Valley. A crappy place around here is $400,000+ now.

People are crazy. They lined up all night for a chance to buy one of 8 townhouses/condos up in Port Moody at over $400,000. Those who bought just grabbed the closest one & they sold all 8 units in 15 minutes.

Imagine having to make a life-altering decision in under 15 minutes & tying up your wages for the next 25 years that quickly. "Honey, who cares if its ugly, lets buy it now & worry about it for the next quarter century later." Crazy.

Anthony
