What Your Budget Buys in West End VW Right Now

Right now the West End VW range runs from $258,800 to $12,880,000. That is the full spread across 143 active listings, and where you land in it decides the kind of home you get. Condos dominate here, 136 of them, 95. 1 percent of the market. At the low end you are looking at studios and one-bedrooms, with 6 studios sitting at a median of $343,500. Push toward $1. 5 million and up and you enter two- and three-bedroom territory, plus the three detached houses at a median of $3,999,000. The median list price is $998,000. Set your number first. The home type tends to follow.

Under $500K gives you 21 listings, mostly studios and one-bedrooms, with the 54 one-bedrooms carrying a median of $599,000. Move into the $500K to $750K band and choice widens to 27 listings, the largest count in the range. That is where your dollar stretches furthest. The $750K to $1M band holds 25, and $1M to $1. 5M another 24. Cross into $1. 5M to $2. 5M and the count climbs again to 30 listings, and this is the band where two-bedrooms come into play. The 64 two-bedrooms carry a median of $1,452,950, so this range is their home ground. Three-bedrooms are scarcer, 15 in total, sitting at a median of $1,999,999. Over $2. 5M leaves you 16 listings, the smallest band and the one where the detached houses live. So the pattern is simple. The middle bands give you the most rooms to compare. The top gives you the fewest. Pick the band that matches your number, and you will know exactly how many doors you get to knock on.

Start by picking three or four buildings to walk through in your band. Alberni By Kengo Kuma carries the most inventory with 11 active listings, then The Butterfly at 6 and The Palisades at 5. Line up two or three units in the same building and you can compare floor plans against a single strata fee, which sits at a median of $766 here. Watch how long a listing has been up.
