Buying a House in Greater Vancouver: What to Know


Buying a detached house in Greater Vancouver is a big step, and the choices can feel overwhelming. Every area has its own price points, school catchments, lot sizes and commute patterns, and each home can vary in age, condition and renovation quality. A house gives you more privacy, yard space and flexibility for parking, storage and future changes compared to a strata property.


Before you write an offer, it’s important to look past the staging and understand the structure, age of the roof, windows, plumbing and electrical, as well as any past permits or additions. I’ll help you review property history, city information and inspection findings so you know what you’re buying and what future maintenance to budget for. We’ll also talk about zoning, lane access and any potential for suites, additions or future redevelopment so you can think long-term.


Location is just as important as the house itself. Together we’ll look at nearby schools, parks, transit, traffic patterns and area plans so you understand how the neighbourhood fits your lifestyle now and how it might impact your resale value later.


Key things I help house buyers review:

  • Age and condition of the home and major systems
  • Lot size, shape, driveway and lane access
  • Suite potential, zoning and future redevelopment possibilities
  • Neighbourhood schools, parks, amenities and commute routes
  • Recent sales and pricing so you don’t overpay


If you’d like help finding the right detached home in Greater Vancouver and understanding both the property and the area, reach out any time and I’ll walk you through it step by step.
