Top 10 most expensive homes in Metro Vancouver (PHOTOS)

Jan 3 2019, 3:56 am

It should be no surprise that Metro Vancouver’s most valuable residential real estate is located in the Westside area of the city of Vancouver, but here is a renewed glimpse of how the top properties are fairing in their latest valuations.

BC Assessment’s 2019 roll notes that its assessed value of single-family detached dwellings have fallen by 4% in the city and 11% in the University Endowment Lands (UEL).

Some of the properties hit hardest were in this year’s top 10 list.

Lululemon founder Chip Wilson’s Kitsilano mansion at 3085 Point Grey Road remains the most valuable property, with an assessed value of $73.12 million — down $5.716 million compared to the previous year.

In another instance, a mansion in Shaughnessy at 1388 The Crescent saw a proportionally significant $7.7 million tumble — from $42.494 million in 2018 to $34.788 in 2019.

Unsurprisingly, the devaluations were largely from the depreciated land value, not the structure.

Here is a rundown of the top 10 most expensive homes, including three homes that are adjacent to each other on Belmont Avenue in Point Grey:
