Nice looking house but my parents bought their place in Vancouver (not suburb of Coquitlam) for $700000 with the same square footage back in 2001. Their latest assessment is well over a million now. |
A house that size in Edmonton would go for a lot more and the climate here sucks, theres no mountains or beaches here and the hockey team keeps losing (could be a legit reason not to wanna live here)
