The median strata fee here runs $623 a month. On a 1,844 square foot home at $1,138 per square foot, that fee is the baseline you budget before taxes, insurance, or a mortgage. Condos set the entry point. The 22 on the market carry a median of $799,450, and a one-bedroom lands around $688,000. Daily life tracks those numbers. A buyer in a strata building pays the monthly fee for shared upkeep, while the detached crowd at a $3,389,500 median takes on the full cost of the land and the house alone. Buildings like Larchwood and The Kerrisdale Collection each hold three of the current listings. The Darrell, The Belmont, 6040 Larch, and Kerrisdale Crest each have two. With a median year built of 2000, most of these homes are old enough to be settled and new enough to keep repair bills in check. That matters when you carry a place for years. Figure the strata fee into the first conversation, not the last.

Start by naming your price band, because 26 of the 81 listings sit between $1. 5M and $2. 5M and another 32 land over $2. 5M. That tells you where the competition is. Pull the 30 listings that came on in the last 30 days and sort them by bedroom count. A three-bedroom runs a median of $2,083,400, a four-bedroom $2,280,000, so the jump between them is real money and worth a side-by-side look. Book showings in two buildings and one detached house the same afternoon. Walk all three. The 1,844 square foot median gives you a yardstick for every floor plan you see. Then call and tell me which one held your attention.
