The big sell: How does a
home sell on the day that it
is listed with no sign and
no showings? When it is
being sold for land value
only, that's how. (The 49
1/2-foot-wide, 122 foot deep
lot is big enough for a
4,000 square foot
residence.) According to
listing agent Wells, this
address reaped the benefit
from its location in the
desirable school catchment
of Lord Byng - one of the
highest rated schools in the
city for which buyers are
prepared to pay a premium -
and current low levels of
inventory. This particular
home was built in 1927 and
has had the same owner for
the past 50 years who
retained its original
features. It is situated on
a corner lot, close to UBC
and Pacific Spirit Park.
