This lot will also have a 10' easement for an eventual lane. If it wasn't included in the listing it might even be a 33x80 lot.Angel Girl wrote: ↑ I think this one will be hard to sell. It’s now priced accordingly, but not enough for me to be interested. Having a lot this much shorter than standard really limits its potential. This is the kind of house that should have been offloaded to a desperate buyer when the market was red hot. Oh well!

We had a property in that area, and when we looked into rebuilding a new house the city said there would be a 10-foot easement to make space for an eventual rear lane. We sold it and put our money into a larger lot instead. The lack of development potential will really limit the appreciation of the lot.zakarydoks wrote: ↑ Is it 10 feet now? I think it used to be 3 from each side.

6515 Butler st sold for 3.11M for a 44 x 140, that's a decent discount no? Kinda close to 49th tho. Build quality looks pretty bad for a house only 5 years old.

It’s not what I’m looking for (so I haven’t deeply studied the prices of these ), but I agree that it’s a decent deal. Not too long ago, a standard sized lot with a house of this style plus laneway in a lesser area was going for more than this sold price. Sure, it looks like generic non-fancy EI built house, but it still makes more sense to me than shopping for a lot and building it myself.Looksmooth wrote: ↑ 6515 Butler st sold for 3.11M for a 44 x 140, that's a decent discount no?

Big tree at the back too. They really should let people remove trees.

Someone from my wife's network recently sold their house for over $4m to a returning HK family. Make of it what you will.

Ditto, I used to love trees but the way CoV restricts tree removal to the point where it’s unreasonably impossible has made me become the opposite. I hate trees now. And I’d expect a discount on a lot with a huge tree.

Bigger tree on a 33 lot.
There's another massive tree in the front yard as well:

I’ve talked to people who had their houses and cars damaged by dangerously large trees either on private or public property. CoV wouldn’t do anything about their concerns, and then denied all responsibility after something happened. Death to all trees in Vancouver!

I mean, it will happen. It's like winning the lottery. 1 tree falls out of 1 Billion. Doesn't mean we should cut all the trees. Also that tree is a mid size tree. Not even close to a big one.Looksmooth wrote: ↑ I'd be paranoid about it falling over.

lol I don't think we need to go that far. I know people with fruit trees in their backyard and it's nice. You need spend the time and money to keep the trees healthy.Angel Girl wrote: ↑ I’ve talked to people who had their houses and cars damaged by dangerously large trees either on private or public property.

But some homes have trees that can kill the whole family and I think the owner should be able to remove those.
