Buy a house...get a tank

[scherzo]

Just to put things in perspective for Calgarians and Edmontonians... (sp?? My apologies)... This house is about 35-45 minutes away from downtown Vancouver.

I live in a house just down the hill from this one and is 1/2 the size. A house this size in Vancouver could reach the 3-4 million range... A friend was looking at a house in Vancouver 10 minutes away from downtown.... 2500 square foot for 2 million... Or 2.2 million... Give or take!!!

This city is CRAZY expensive....

Bingo. This house is in the boonies and up a mountain. A house in Vancouver proper like this goes for about 2 million in east Vancouver and easily close to 3 million or more on the west side. Your average east side former grow-op/crack shack can go for 750K on land value alone.

In Westwood Plateau, over 4000 sq ft backing on to the golf course and only 1M ?? Seems awfully low to me.
My friend's place in Westwood Plateau was just over 3500 sq ft with smaller lot and sold for 1.6M a month ago......and it didn't have a nice tank like that one does!
