Some of the pre-sales have that sq footage and around that price but not ready till 2017/2018.
We've been looking and been unsuccessful at finding anything move in ready. Most have been sold with many offers or have issues.

There aren't many rowhomes with tandem garages in Burnaby. Most townhomes in Burnaby are stacked. There is one new development, Saville Row, on Canada Way that offers rowhomes but they are now in the 750K range. Throw in GST and you're about the same, with a long ways away before occupancy (2018). Most of the other rowhomes are concentrated near SFU (built in the 80s) or there are small pockets in the Royal Oak area. It's insane, but I can see the logic if the buyers were desperate and did not want to go across the river.
You will be very hard-pressed to find rowhomes in the City of Vancouver today for 825K, even new construction in the River District. The best you will get is leasehold in Champlain Heights.

I remember VRGTI talking about some of his friends who sold their condos and are now in their parents' basements waiting for the market to take a dip.
The family/couple who bought this townhome in Burnaby could have very well been one of these families who got fed up living in their parents' basement.

You need to buy before you sell in this market

And that's why things are being bid up as people don't mind paying the premium for move in ready as opposed to buying pre-sale but having to wait 2 years down the road and then they still have to deal with the developer about new home issues.

If it's desirable to the investor market, you could always sell and rent back from the buyer for a set period of time which gives you cash in hand to move in on a place with as few subjects as possible. Another upside is that you remain where you are and avoid the humiliation/hassle of moving back in with the parents/in-laws. The downside is you pay rent (which may or may not be at market rate), instead of putting in equity (which would give you a higher return given a typical mortgage rate of 2-2.5%) while your cash gets 3% at EQ bank or another institution.

Most have been sold with many offers or have issues. | Fair point, if you need it now then no dice as I'm referring to pre sales. Saville Row which has been mentioned now was one in mind. I got a unit back in Nov that was 4 bed, 1300 sq for 779 but then opted out and the same unit 2 months later in their Phase 3 was selling for 849. It's ok as I settled for a place with more sq footage in Van for the same price.

Expresso - Lol yea, poor choice of words I far from settled. I mean shiet it took 15 months of constantly saying no to places and just sticking to my guns and at times thinking I'm fucked, what I want is not out there and prices are going up and then bam it happened.

You will be very hard-pressed to find rowhomes in the City of Vancouver today for 825K, even new construction in the River District. The best you will get is leasehold in Champlain Heights. | Interesting. I did not know Champlain Heights was mostly leasehold

Either pulling the trigger at Ellsworth tomorrow, or waiting for the bomb to explode. My mind's switches back and fourth hourly. lol. Either way, i'll be dumping my island place if I go for it. Too much risk in multiple units. I give this whole thing 3 years before she blows and 4444 will be even more cocky then he's ever been before. Ughh

Ughh | If the market crashes to the tune of 25-30%, would you still be employed/employable and would you be able to afford the payments? If you're putting that amount down, you could always suck it up and live in the unit (after all, isn't that the point?) Concrete construction in a walkable, urban neighbourhood is pretty good - you will always have a market for such a property (not necessarily Asian either).
Good luck.

Man I kept wondering what was happening to that place, thing has changed names like 3 times in the last year and kept getting delayed. Primo location though, almost bought Wolhsein just down the block over a year ago but just couldn't deal with the small space and the live works shit int he building.
