A million dollars for a 4000 sq ft house? That's a pretty good deal.

Ten - twenty years ago, very few homes in the Lower Mainland were priced at $1,000,000 plus. Over the last 7 years, million dollar homes became commonplace, not because they are actually worth anything close to that but simply because of the market (lots of overseas buyers), the Olympics, the climate, etc. The median price for a home in the Greater Vancouver region is $623,000 (up 7% in the last year), whereas you can buy homes for a fraction of that in other parts of the country without selling off your first born

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)

Very nice house!

One day I will be building my last home, would love to have someone tell me how much with the tank, but that won't happen. One can cross fingers though.

I am hating the thoughts of moving my system when the time comes. Already figured that I would have to sell all contents, slowing dismantle and dry things out. Plan this months in advance, so when the time comes, I can pay some good folks to do the move for me.

Or

Own 2 houses for a bit, build a new system in the new house, transfer everything, then sell the old system

Again, I dread the thought, but have spent some time, figuring out what to do. NOT FUN!!!
