The word “bargain” is tricky when it comes to buying a home in Burnaby.
It’s all relative. Housing is insanely expensive, but some places for sale a cheaper than others.
COVID-19 has helped to dry up the housing market right now as far as sales, but if you’re looking then here are some places to consider.
This month’s roundups of Burnaby’s bargain listings by roomvu, are listed well-below government assessed value, with most under $1 million, and fresh on the market. It’s the cream of the crop of home deals.
How it works is the B.C. 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 incredible value-for-money homes set off alarm bells, demanding to be seen and bought.
