This place is almost the most famous POS in East Vancouver. It has been alluded to on RET, and VHB.
I don't have the price history for this particular hovel (v5836651 $462k described as "neat and clean"), but the place just across the road was $325k last summer, and I'm sure that it was much more presentable (else I would not have even driven by). Maybe the price was so low because this place is what you would see out your front window?

Thanks for posting folks.
raconteur49 do you happen to have any price history on your suggestions? I'll look them up and post them none-the-less. Also, how do you get the assessed values (just so I can keep factual)?
Dingus - I think this is an old favourite in the circles that we move in. I agree that it's not the price so much (well, it is...) as it is the glowing description, and the fact that it has been haunting the MLS for probably a year, and the price keeps going up. I feel that the revenue is probably grossly over-stated too.
Well the hovel you mention here is a reminder that I lived in a place similar many many years ago. It was a complete disgrace. See as how the pricing is varied wherever you are. I live an hour west of Toronto and most houses in my area run anywhere from 74,000 to 150,000. In fact a house across the street use to be a four-plex.. illegal dwelling. This family bought it gutted it and got a nice chunk of change for it and they turned it into 2 loft-style townhouses. I think they gotabout 150k for each side. They did all the work themselves to save on costs of hiring labourer's and contractors.I'm not sure how much they invested in it, but they still managed to walk away with a few bucks.
Nice blog big man.. A
