Absurd Vancouver Property of the Week (August 23, 2012)
I awoke this morning to rain. For some reason, Porky Pig’s voice from the old Looney Tunes cartoons was in my head…
Is that all? Are the curtains closed on our summer here in Vancouver? My thoughts turned to warmer climates…and, of course, houses. What if summer never had to end — where would you live?
In Australia, summer will be starting shortly. This home in Northcote, Melbourne is $1 million.
Beautifully renovated with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this home also has an outdoor swimming pool, 2 car garage and a modern, open concept layout. Located 7 km outside of the city’s business district.
Back in North America…the sun is always shining in Palm Desert. Get your vitamin D in this home for $1 million:
Boasting a beautiful pool with cascading waterfall and spa and built-in BBQ with the golf course and San Jacinto mountains beyond, this is a home where summer never ends.
Or, the Caribbean. Ahhhh. The Caribbean. Could you imagine yourself laying in the sun here? For $1 million, you could!
This villa has 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a pool, hot tub and daily access to the white sand beaches of St. John’s in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
But, hey, if sun is not your thing…how about this million dollar beauty back in the east side of Rain-couver?
Even if the sun comes out, you don’t need to worry…it looks nice and shady here! This Old Timer is “…in need of TLC, but some character features are still in tact.” Oh, goody!
Vancouver…are you f*%#ing kidding me??!!!

Then go to Australia, Caribbean, Palm Desert …
Vancouver doesn’t need your $1 million
My $1 million…I wish.
Really love your Absurd comparisons – spot on.
For the last decade or so Vancouver has been a safe haven for absurd amounts of money coming in from overseas. Now that source is drying up, property prices have only one way to go – down, back to sustainable levels that relate to the earning power of the majority of buyers. The Canadian Government is trying to stage manage a soft landing. They may succeed where most other countries failed, but probably not.
Keep up this excellent comparison – the penny will drop, eventually.
