Owen Bigland blogs about how many people's perceptions regarding condo prices in downtown Vancouver are hazy due to the skyrocketing prices of detached homes in certain areas. If you were to ask people on the street what they thought the price of a downtown Vancouver condo had done over the past  3, 4 or 5 years they would probably say it's way up. when in reality if you drew a line from Jan 2008 to Jan 2012  that line would be pretty much flat.   It's been a fairly balanced and stable market for condos in Downtown Vancouver the past 4 years with very little price appreciation unless you bought in a tiny window around Nov 08 to Mar 09.  We had a price drop in Fall of 2008 of approx 15%  on average then came out ...

Adding a laneway house will increase your property's assessed value thus increasing your property taxes and insurance. However when you  consider that you can build a 500 sq ft laneway home for $225,000-$250,000 (remember you already own the land) and rent it for $1,500 to $1,800 a month depending on the area, i've seen larger 700 sq ft homes on the West side rent for over $2,000 month. That’s a nice positive cash flow to help offset the high price of owning a detached property in Vancouver. http://www.bcbusinessonline.ca/profiles-and-spotlights/industries/homes-and-real-estate/living-small-laneway-houses
