This Brentwood condo is currently listed at $399K... there's no previous sale data available, but the unit directly above (803) with the same square footage, sold for $534,900 (+GST) brand new.

If this unit sold for the same price in 2020, that's 30% off the original price.

Coquitlam house was purchased for $1.38M in Aug 2022...

Re-listed Feb 2025 at $1.88M.

Seller has started to accept reality, reduced to $1.498M last summer.

Now re-listed again at $999K after no takers during Q4 2025. It's likely a "fake" list price, but could now be close to market price.

Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan Pretti: 

We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. 

I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. 

The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. 


He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

See the USAF verdict below, the pilot was told to "make sure it's not friendlies", "stand by", and "hold fire". He fired anyway and claimed self defense.

Who would have thought a studio in Vancouver would list for $265K and not sell immediately? Let's ignore the fact that it's being sold "as-is" in a leaky condo building from 1994 with shared laundry only.

Someone was suckered into buying this leasehold False Creek townhome for $900K in 2022. The new owner renovated the property, and now it's available via court ordered sale for $689K. Lease to 2040 with the option to extend to 2060.

It's been listed since Sept 2025, still no accepted offer.

Bumped the price up to $649K and not surprisingly, it didn't sell. Taken off the market Jan 1st... will see what the sellers try to sell for in the spring. IMO there is a rather large glut of condos listed in the $1000 psf range in Vancouver and very few interested buyers.

This 6 year old Collingwood condo next to Joyce Skytrain was heavily marketed to Asia - where buyers likely saw the Vancouver address and didn't realize it's near the Burnaby border.

Bought in 2022 for $732,600 (not sure if GST applied)

It's currently listed at $474,900

RiverSky condo at the New Westminster Quay... Seller has been trying to sell since Sept and has reduced the price further to $445K after failing to sell at $514,900 then $479,900.

Seller bought the unit in May of 2022 for $630K. If they get their price, they'd realize a loss of over $200K!

On a sidenote, this condo was purchased in 2021 for $594,900 +GST ($624,645 incl GST).

It's assessed at $637K.

It's already been listed for a year... First at $644K in Nov 2024 then again for $549,900 in Aug 2025.

"The unit is in need of some updates" (it's 5 years old)

So many specu-vestor tears in this Olympic Village building...

This 592 sqft "2 bedroom" unit was just listed at $568K
Purchased new in 2021 for $799,900 (+GST) = $839,895 (GST Incl)

A sale at list price would realize over $300K in losses... One of 13 units for sale in this building.
