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
