The big sell: Listing agent Rahim Jivraj reports that this was the first time on the market for this five-bedroom house since it was built in 1989, with a large lot and potential to create a legal suite as two of the highlights. Constructed by Noort Homes in North Delta’s Annieville district, the property sits on a flat lot in excess of 10,500 square feet with manicured gardens in both the front and back. There are four bedrooms upstairs and a fifth bedroom on the lower floor alongside large storage/recreation rooms. The main floor has a kitchen with an informal eating area that overlooks the sunken family room where sliding glass doors provide outside access. The conjoined formal living and dining room is accessed off the entrance foyer, again with stairs leading up to them, and an integrated double garage hikes the convenience factor. Upgrades include the installation of Hunter Douglas blinds, and new carpets and crown moldings.

The big sell: It took just nine days for this property in Burnaby South’s Metrotown neighbourhood to sell for exactly the asking price. Currently rented for $1,800 per month, the two-storey house comprises a reverse floor plan with the principal reception rooms and two bedrooms on the upper floor, and a bedroom and laundry in the partly-finished basement. According to listing agent Phil LeGree, the value of the property is mainly in the land with a sizeable 12,078-square-foot rectangular lot that could accommodate a duplex or detached dream home, aided by the convenience of transit, shopping, schools, parks and SkyTrain stations all nearby. The house itself was built in the late 1940s and contains a carport and driveway parking for additional vehicles, while the garden is mainly laid to grass and is bordered by fencing and hedges.
