Here are the 10 detached properties in Metro Vancouver (Vancouver West, Vancouver East, Burnaby, Richmond, North Vancouver and West Vancouver) that changed their price or were relisted under a new MLS number the previous week AND have dropped the largest percentage overall from their original asking price. There are some gaps in assessment data – I have some old data and can pull up 2013 but if you see years missed it is because I just don’t have the information available.
Richmond has 5 entries in the list this week

Excellent opportunity to acquire a prime Seafair building lot in West Richmond. At 9088 square feet, this is the largest lot on the block, in an area with many new homes. A central location close to Seafair Mall, recreation and transit, near to Steveston and a 5 minute walk to the dyke. Walk to French Immersion Gilmore Elementary and Hugh Boyd IB Secondary School. Offering views of the North Shore Mountains from the back deck. With some TLC, this could be a great 6 bedroom family home with hardwood floors, large kitchen with gas stove, gas fireplace in the living room and vinyl double glazed windows with UV protection. Renovate or rebuild in this great area.
Based on the previous listing lasting only 17 days I’m guessing this sold for over $1.3 million in 2011 and now listed under $1 million

SPECTACULAR HOME ON HUGE LOT. Best value for this size house/lot in Richmond. Granite, hardwood, high end appliances – everything you would expect and more. Grand entrance with crystal chandelier. 18 ft ceilings, crown moulding, heat recovery and air conditioning. 6 bedrooms total, 5 with ensuites. LEGAL 2 bedroom suite with own patio. Triple garage and lots more open parking for RV and boat. This house has it all – truly a must see!

Ideal 2 Acres beautiful and rarely on the market land, which you can either hold as investment or to build a dream home with no blocked mountain view!!! Rarely found this kind of clean land, no poll around. This is the top land in Richmond area. You can build up to 10.000 Sf of luxury home only can see in the Hollywood Movie, you could have your truck, boat, trailer all fit in this mansion! First time ever on the market for sale!
“no poll around” – I think they are referring to pollution but maybe Lay La Yang should spell it out for dumb people like me. “You can build up to 10.000 Sf of luxury home only can see in the Hollywood Movie”, “you could have your truck, boat, trailer all fit in this mansion!”, “First time ever on the market for sale!” – except for all of last year. Lay La Wang wins crappy listing of the week even beating out a property with no description! Good for you!
