I really like this house and the way they redid the inside.

I can't speak for the inside but from the outside it looks like one over the back of us that was about $80k a couple of years ago.

Correction. 2015 $45k. A family lives there now, same building.

There are places in BC where you can find houses for under 100k, tend to be semi-isolated places with limited employment or on an island.

I am not always bored when working....

For those who can buy a house there are a lot more options available vs renting affordability wise.

Rents in that region are lower vs Vancouver but not really affordable due to wages being lower at least in the jobs I can potentially get.

What do you think of this low key, modest entry level home. Not my cup of tea.

I dont care for 1 or 3. 2 would be okay if it was move in ready, the design isnt horrible. But for a tear down not my cup of tea.

Seems like Vancouver there where a modest old house ready for tear down are over a million.

I would imagine the mansions of Vancouver are a pretty penny too.

The gates may be worth more than some places in Moncton !!!

Pretty ghastly exterior and an interior that only the Donald may feel at home in.

The 2nd one is very very similar to my old house in England.. internally (well, the lounge and a bedroom or two anyway, lol)! Now that's made me miss it!

Can't figure out if that roof was built after or was only half built. The kitchen is right out of the 70's.
