The real estate market of Vancouver is an expensive one, thanks to the city’s strong economy, excellent quality of education and unparalleled employment options. The average price of residential properties in the Greater Vancouver real estate market actually exceeds $1M, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association. But the truth is that there are still a few great listings on the local market for which you don’t need to break the bank.
Here’s what Rain City has to offer for $350,000:
