We all know that the Burnaby real estate market is on fire right now.

Buyers are lining up to bid on properties and they are flying out just as fast as agents can list them.

That has driven prices up as buyers get into bidding wars.

So take with a grain of salt this end-of-the-month roundup of Burnaby’s bargain listings by roomvu - properties listed well below government assessed value and fresh on the market. For more bargains and listings, check out the Real Estate Weekly.

“It’s the cream of the crop of home deals,” says a news release.

How it works is the BC government analyzes and gives a price based on each property’s factors like size, layout, shape, age, neighbourhood, the condition of the property and more. When listing prices appear lower than as compared to government value, these value-for-money homes set off alarm bells, demanding to be seen and bought.

The problem, of course, is if you get people bidding then it drives up the price and the bargain could disappear. Anyways, here are some of the best bargains according to this metric.
