End March 2019 Picks by Roomvu

Every 2 weeks, our staff puts together a list of properties worthy of taking a peek at. Why? Because these properties are listed below their government assessment value, under 1 million dollars, and fresh in the market. Scroll down for our top picks.

How does the BC government calculate assessed values?

BC Assessment, a government organization, analyzes each property’s unique factors, just like how a home buyer would consider a potential home. These factors include and are not limited to:

• Size
• Layout
• Shape
• Age
• Finish quality 
• Number of garages
• The condition of the building 
• Services in the area, location, views
• Neighbourhood 
• Recent sales of properties with similar characteristics
