Here's What $835K Actually Gets You in Vancouver in 2026

Описание: 📍 What $800K–$835K REALLY Buys You in Vancouver

Everyone talks about “Vancouver real estate being expensive.”

But almost no one actually breaks down what you’re buying at this price point — and why the differences matter.

In this video, I compare six real properties that recently sold between $800K and $835K across Vancouver:

• Yaletown
• Kerrisdale
• Point Grey
• Kitsilano
• River District
• Grandview Woodland

And the results might surprise you.

Because at the same price…

You can buy:

584 sq ft of brand-new boutique luxury
OR
1,080 sq ft of concrete loft with 15’ ceilings
OR
A modern 2-bed + den with side-by-side parking
OR
A resort-style tower with concierge
OR
A beach-adjacent lifestyle asset

The spread in price per square foot is massive — nearly an 82% difference between the highest and lowest PSF in this segment.

So the real question is
👉 Are you paying for newness?
👉 Are you paying for volume?
👉 Are you paying for lifestyle?
👉 Or are you paying for brand?

In this breakdown, I walk through:

Building age vs. price per square foot
Strata health and maintenance fee impact
Modernity premium vs. volume discount
Replacement cost logic
Amenity-driven yield erosion
Which property offers the strongest defensive position in a volatile market

If you’re buying, investing, or upgrading in Vancouver, this is the analysis you need before making a move.

🏠 Important: Property Transfer Tax (First-Time Buyers in BC)

If you're a first-time home buyer in British Columbia purchasing a resale property under $835,000, you may qualify for a Property Transfer Tax exemption.

That can mean thousands saved upfront.

Eligibility depends on:
Citizenship/permanent residency status
Whether you’ve owned property before
The purchase price threshold
Occupancy requirements

This exemption is one of the most overlooked financial advantages available to first-time buyers in this bracket — and it can materially affect your buying power.

If you're not sure whether you qualify, reach out. I’ll walk you through it.

If you want honest, data-driven real estate breakdowns that actually explain what you’re buying — not just hype — make sure you subscribe.

Vancouver real estate rewards strategy.

And strategy starts with understanding what your money actually buys.
