Absurd Vancouver Property of the Week (September 13th, 2012)
I’m back!!
This week I’m setting my sights on the $3.5 million mark. Prices are “apparently” coming down in Vancouver, but what do mega millions buy you elsewhere?
In Massachusetts, you could buy this unique (that’s one word for it) “boat home”:
Yes…this is actually Absurd in itself but ,on the inside, it actually looks nice. 5 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, eight fireplaces, a mud room, family room, deck, basement and two-car garage.
Worried you might get sea-sick? How about this cute little Beverly Hills estate recently purchased by country darling, Taylor Swift:
This romantic-style home (complete with Juliet balcony) boasts a spacious kitchen and extensive library. The house locates on 1.5 acres of land and has plenty of outdoor space to provide tennis court and patio with eating area and fire place.
Too girly? How about the Toronto home of ex-NHL player, Nick Kypreos:
Likely a restored farm house, this beauty has a stunning exterior with a wrap around porch. The kitchen and dining room of this house are TO DIE FOR.
Not girly enough? How about this pink palace in Vancouver??
Well, it is located in a “prestigious neighbourhood”…whatever that means…and there’s a Fungshui fortune fountain in the backyard. Yippee!
Vancouver…are you f*%#ing kidding me?
ROFL!!!! As much as I love pepto bismol pink (NOT) i would HATE this lol!!
you know what thinking about it I would WAY prefer to walk into my “boathouse” than my pepto vomit box lol!!
Not maintained, outdated. No proper landscaping. For 3.5 million I will have perfection. It’s a mess.
Seriously. I want that boat house. STAT.
The horrifying thing is that my husband said: “it’s in Kerrisdale? A big lot? A big house? It seems reasonably priced”
I liken this to shopping in holt renfrew. When you are surrounded by $1000 dresses, all of a sudden the $450 sweater looks like a good deal. When you are surrounded by absurd properties you begin to accept the marginally less absurd as somewhat reasonable. Horrifying!
We will continue to rent for now!
Yes! Check out the definition of “Absurd” on my “Are You F*%#ing Kidding Me” Page. So true!
I’m guessing that owner’s are asking ‘absurd’ prices because they are not really wanting to sell unless someone makes them ‘an offer they can’t refuse’. However, as house prices drop in Vcr (and they will), realtors will no longer bother trolling for the big sucker.
