East Vancouver house of 'little or no value' listed for $1.65 million
If you’re looking for a prime example of how expensive land is in Vancouver, regardless of the state of the building that stands on it, look no further.
3563 East 25th Ave. in the Renfrew-Collingwood neighbourhood went on the market for the first time on Tuesday, with an asking price of $1,649,000.
Described as a “rare opportunity” on a “beautiful street,” the property includes a 3,960 square-foot “building” lot.

The listing description admits the home itself has “little or no value.” BC Assessment puts it at $10,000.
The total property value as per BC Assessment is actually $1,721,000, a bit higher than what it’s selling for.
According to the City of Vancouver’s zoning map, 3563 East 25th Ave. is in an R1-1 district, so given the size of the lot, a potential buyer could build a multiplex with up to four units on the property.
