Vancouver real estate searches

This page is here to help you find out about the real estate market in greater Vancouver. The searches we provide take you into specific areas of Vancouver and let you see what sort of property is around.

What can I do with these searches?

All the searches are set up to look for the same thing - property with between 2 and 3 bedrooms, and 2 to 3 bathrooms. This gives you a means of comparing the areas.

I have also included different types of property:

• Houses
• Apartments/Condos
• Townhouses
• Duplexes

If you prefer to use the general search facilities available then I have put these below.

Predefined searches:

How do I use these searches?

These predefined property searches will give you a feel for the properties available in different areas.

The map below is clickable. Click on any of the city names shown in black. They will take you to the MLS® listings of houses in that area.

Houses
(2-3 bedroom, with 2-3 bathrooms)

The links below reproduce those in the map above. Some people may find these easier to use.

Condo's
(2-3 bedroom, with 2-3 bathrooms)

These links show you condo's in these areas. A condo is where the (usually) high rise building is divided into strata lots. Each owner buys the “free hold” of their apartment and contributes to the upkeep of the common areas. Many new condos have great facilities for the owners such as gyms, swimming pools, meeting rooms etc.

These are two family homes. The building is detached, but each family occupies its own half. Duplexes may be side by side, as in the illustration, or one above the other.

General MLS® searches

Below I have given you four ways of searching the MLS® and I have also set up some predefined searches to make it easy for you to explore property in different areas and find the right property.

• Search by Map
  Use a map to point and click your way to the areas you are interested in.
• Text only search
  This detailed search form is useful for specifying the criteria for your ideal home.
• Search by MLS® number
  If you already know the MLS® number, then this is the quickest way to find the property details.
• Search by street address
  This search allows you to enter the street address of the property you want.
• Open Houses
  Not many people realize that you can find out what properties are open to the public for viewing.
