If you thought a detached house in Vancouver was expensive, have you looked through the condo listings lately?
One condo recently listed as sold on Zealty went for well above the assessed value, more than many detached houses in and around Vancouver.
This does tend to be the case for sub-penthouse or penthouse suites, but this specific suite on Nicola Street sold for $1,114,000 over the assessed value, for a sale price of $8,100,000, slightly under the original asking price of $8,198,000.
So, what does a condo for $8 million offer?
