Living in Fraser VE: What the Listings Say

Detached houses make up 34 of the 82 active listings in Fraser VE, or 41. 5 percent of what is for sale. Condos and half duplexes tie at 20 each, both holding 24. 4 percent of the market. Townhouses add another 7, and one listing falls outside those categories. The median year built is 2012, so much of this stock is recent. In fact, 44. 4 percent of active listings are new builds. That mix shapes the prices you will see. Detached houses carry a median of $2,499,000, while condos sit at $705,000. Half duplexes land at $1,689,000, and townhouses at $1,298,000. Living area runs to a median of 1,550 square feet at $978 per square foot. The full field spans from $360,000 to $3,798,000. Plenty of range here.

The median home here runs 1,550 square feet, which sets the tone for daily life. That is a footprint sized for a family in a three-bedroom, and three-bedroom listings are the largest group at 25, with a median of $1,630,000. If you buy into a strata, the median fee is $477 a month, and that shapes your carrying costs beyond the mortgage. Condos and half duplexes each account for 20 of the 82 active listings, so a good share of buyers here will pay that monthly line. Buildings like Solid and Vintage Eastside each show up three times among current listings, with Alabaster E 49 X Fraser, Kingsgate Manor, and Century each posting two. Those are the kinds of addresses where the $477 median applies. A condo at a median of $705,000 with that fee looks very different from a detached house at $2,499,000 with none. Know which one you are signing up for. The 2012 median build year means newer systems and, often, fewer surprise repairs.

Start by watching the 29 listings that came onto the market in the last 30 days. That pace tells you how much new inventory you can expect to weigh against the 82 already active. Pick your band first. Fifteen listings sit between $1M and $1. 5M, twenty-nine fall in the $1. 5M to $2. 5M range, and sixteen clear $2. 5M, so your budget points you straight at a subset. If a two-bedroom at a median of $750,000 fits, five listings under $500K and ten between $500K and $750K give you a lower entry. Book viewings across two price bands. Comparing a $705,000 condo against a $1,689,000 half duplex in person will settle which one suits you faster than any spreadsheet.
