Mission-West homes for sale

What kind of homes are in Mission-West?

There is no single housing type in Mission-West. The active listings run detached houses at 58%, other homes at 27% and townhouses at 13%, which means two buyers with the same budget can end up shopping for very different homes on the same streets.

Construction dates are spread out. The median home for sale dates to 1990, with most of the market falling between 1948 and 2022, so condition and updates vary a lot from listing to listing.

22% of the current listings were built in the last five years, so new-construction inventory is a real option here rather than an exception.

What do you actually get for the money?

The 3-bedroom plan is the most common listing, with smaller and larger homes on either side of it.

A typical listing here offers about 1,846 sq ft of living space and 2 bathrooms.

Where a lot is reported, the median is 196,020 sq ft, which is what sets the ceiling on additions, laneway homes and future redevelopment.

15% of the listings report a finished basement, which in this city usually means either extra family space or a mortgage helper.

Strata or freehold?

Only 15% of the listings in Mission-West are strata-titled. Most buyers here are purchasing freehold, with no monthly fee and no strata council to answer to.

Across the 7 listings that disclose one, the median strata fee is $417 per month. Read it against what it covers before comparing two buildings on price alone.

Getting around Mission-West

Rapid transit reaches part of the area: 2% of listings are near a station, while 2% are on a frequent bus route.

Across 36 scored listings the median walk score is 3 out of 100, computed from real walking routes. Day-to-day errands here usually involve a drive or a bus.

Setting and surroundings
