The board went quiet on Vancouver for most of August, and this week it came back. Seven picks, and for the first time in a month four of them were in the city proper: two in Coal Harbour, one in the West End, one in First Shaughnessy. Prices ran from $499,000 for a one-bedroom off Denman to $5,500,000 for a half-acre estate lot, and two of the Coal Harbour listings carried price reductions. Fourteen court-ordered listings came through in total; the rest were held for the following week.
$916,800 (reduced $45,700)
The one worth looking at first that week: a two-bedroom in a complex designed by Arthur Erickson's office and completed in 1995, one of the most recognizable buildings in Coal Harbour. Floor-to-ceiling windows, an open kitchen, one parking stall and a locker, with an indoor pool, hot tub, gym and 24-hour concierge. Maintenance runs $714.29 a month, which is on the higher side and is what those amenities can cost to maintain. One data note: the room dimensions showed a living room at 12 feet by 6 feet 9 inches, narrower than expected, so the floor plan was worth reading before viewing. Sold as is, where is.

$2,098,000 (reduced $184,500)
The largest price reduction on the list, $184,500 off in 30 days on market. A 34th-floor apartment in a waterfront tower with what the remarks describe as unobstructed views over Vancouver Harbour to the North Shore mountains, over-height ceilings, and principal rooms the listing says take house-sized furniture. Unusually for a two-bedroom, it came with three parking stalls and a locker. Showings by appointment only. Sold as is, where is.

$499,000
The least expensive way into the list. A one-bedroom with a solarium, updated kitchen, in-suite laundry, and both a parking stall and a storage locker, in a building the remarks describe as well maintained and upgraded. At this price in the West End the questions to ask early are about the building rather than the unit: roof, piping, envelope, the depreciation report, and any special levies in progress. Sold as is, where is.

$5,500,000
The most expensive listing on the list, four days on market at time of sending. A 1992 house on a 100 by 200 foot lot, described with a circular driveway, a vaulted foyer, a sauna and three fireplaces. Two things to weigh: the data field said seven bedrooms while the remarks said eight, so the count needed confirming against the floor plan, and First Shaughnessy is a heritage conservation area whose design guidelines constrain what can be altered or replaced, so redevelopment assumptions needed checking with the City before pricing any work. Sold as is, where is.

$2,425,000
Anmore is the semi-rural pocket above Port Moody, near Buntzen Lake and Belcarra Regional Park, on large forested lots. A 5,776 square foot house in an area of estate homes. For buyers new to Anmore, the things that differ from the city are worth checking early: water and septic arrangements, road access and snow clearing, and how much of the lot is actually buildable. Sold as is, where is.

$1,999,000
A 2019 build with a detached two-car garage off the lane and a legal two-bedroom suite with its own entrance, plus noted potential for an additional basement suite, air conditioning and an HRV system. The suite was the part to verify first: that the legal suite is permitted and inspected rather than simply built, and what the second one would require. Sold as is, where is.

$1,669,000
The lowest-priced house on the list, openly presented as a land play: the remarks led with "builder and investor alert" and pointed to a nearly 14,000 square foot lot with roughly 123 feet of frontage, development potential to be verified by the buyer. The existing house was described as well maintained, so there was something to hold or rent while plans were made. The listing itself told buyers to do their own due diligence on zoning and setbacks, which is the right instruction: price it on what is permitted today. Sold as is, where is.

This week's tip: Fourteen court-ordered listings came across the desk that week and seven made the list. Most of the seven set aside shared a striking feature: houses with seven, eight or nine bedrooms and as many bathrooms, in Surrey, Delta and Langley. Those almost always have purpose-built multi-suite rental capability rather than being single family homes, and they bring rental math into the picture. If that is your market, two questions matter more than the price: which suites are legal, permitted and inspected, because an unpermitted suite is income you may not be able to keep, and what the actual rent roll is and whether it survives a change of ownership. In a court-ordered sale nobody is going to warrant either one for you. If you are new to how these sales work: Sold as is, where is: what it means before you make an offer.
