Living in Maillardville: What the Listings Say

Maillardville gives you 88 active listings, and the mix leans toward attached homes. Condos lead at 26 listings, 29. 5 percent of the market, with a median price of $483,900. Half duplexes come next at 21 listings, 23. 9 percent, where the median runs $1,259,000. Then a long tail: 15 other homes, 13 townhouses, 13 detached houses. The detached median sits at $1,599,998, so the price range here is wide. The median year built is 1998. That puts a lot of this stock in its twenties, old enough to have settled, new enough to skip the big renovations. New builds make up 41. 4 percent of what is listed. The median living area is 1,259 square feet, and the median price per square foot is $674. Across all types, the median list price is $765,000. You have choices at both ends.

At 1,259 square feet, the median home here is sized for real daily living without the upkeep of a large lot. The median strata fee runs $377 a month. That covers maintenance and common costs in buildings like Mill Creek Village, which shows 8 listings, and Ravir with 5. A condo at the median $483,900 keeps your carrying costs predictable, with that strata payment on top of the mortgage. Move up to a half duplex at $1,259,000 and the monthly picture changes, though you often trade strata obligations for more space and a yard. Townhouses sit between the two at a median of $738,000. Wildwood Park carries 4 listings, Bastille carries 3. Most of this stock dates to 1998, so systems are mature and the floor plans are known quantities. You can run the math before you ever book a showing. A two-bedroom at $589,000 is the busiest segment, with 29 of those on the market. Pick the price band, then pick the lifestyle.

Start with the 30 new listings from the last 30 days. That tells you inventory is moving, so the place you walk through this week may not be here next week. Decide your band first. The $500K to $750K range holds 15 listings, while the $1M to $1. 5M range holds 29, and those are two different searches with two different lenders. Pull the two-bedroom options, since 29 of them sit at a median of $589,000 and give you the widest field to compare. Then book three showings across two home types, one condo and one half duplex, so you feel the $483,900 and $1,259,000 ends in person. Numbers narrow the list. Walking the floors decides it.
