Its nice you're curious, but if you are serious about a house in van/bby/rmd then yes the only relevance assessed values will have on you is to determine the property taxes you'll be paying. If it's a semi desirable area you better be prepared to pay what the market will pay, not what bc assessment says it was worth last year. The fact that a decent house comes with the land is really just the icing on the cake in a lot of cases it seems. It's crazy and stupid, but what can you do.
Went to this open house as I live around the area, 1789 is a pretty cool character home. Always drive by it and never been inside. I believe 1785 is/was the coach house.
I've never been to such a jammed up open house.
The house being barged in from another location is pretty cool too, but indefinitely looks out of place.
