The East Vancouver Townhome and 1/2 Duplex Market
In the Vancouver East Townhome and 1/2 Duplex Market, we’re seeing only slight increases in prices over last month, with the median at $761,000 and the average at $930,000, indicating a number of homes listed under $760,000 with a few high end homes increasing the average. Notably, there are almost twice the sales as this time last year. Aiding this increase in interest and sales is the fact that Developers are favouring East Van to build Multi Family Townhome Complexes. BC Assessments were released last week and townhomes and 1/2 Duplexes in East Vancouver saw an overall rise in Assessed Property Value, supporting the stability we’re seeing in the market. Expect this market to continue seeing interest in the next year as families living in two bedrooms condos look to move up, we’re just hoping there will be enough good product out there. We currently have a new listing at 3335 Windsor: 2011-built 3 bedroom townhome, across from Charles Dickens School in Fraser, on the market for $775,000. The first weekend of open houses was one of our busiest in months, with continued interest ever since.
