I live in a house just down the hill from this one and is 1/2 the size. A house this size in Vancouver could reach the 3-4 million range... A friend was looking at a house in Vancouver 10 minutes away from downtown.... 2500 square foot for 2 million... Or 2.2 million... Give or take!!!

This city is CRAZY expensive....

Bingo. This house is in the boonies and up a mountain. A house in Vancouver proper like this goes for about 2 million in east Vancouver and easily close to 3 million or more on the west side. Your average east side former grow-op/crack shack can go for 750K on land value alone.
