Description

Immaculate home and property on Emily Way. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath rancher has been lovingly maintained by its' one time owner. Attention to detail and upgrades are everywhere starting with the resurfaced driveway, the manicured gardens and extensive patio brick leading to a fully fenced and low maintenance yard. Inside, the kitchen has been tastefully updated along with new flooring throughout. Upgraded fireplace along with a new heat-pump and front windows along with new blinds completes what is the perfect house to just move in and enjoy. 10 out of 10.

Offer case

GREEN at $521,000 — that's $234,000 (31.0%) below the $755,000 ask. Realistic offer

That discount is 13.1× what this market normally concedes.

EVIDENCE

  • Coast-wide, homes sell at 97.6% of list — a 2.4% discount is simply normal here.
  • 85 days on market vs a 60-day median.
  • 1 price cut(s) already — the seller has shown they will move.
  • 1 previous failed listing(s) — this seller has been here before.
  • Asking $592/sqft where comparable homes sold at $495/sqft (+20%) — the ask is above the local clearing price.
Support score 0.95 — evidence weight that this seller would entertain the discount. Not a prediction; a checklist with numbers.

The four tests

Equity — FAIL
(price + $40,000 reno + PTT+legal closing) <= 85% x ARV
all-in = $755,000 + $40,000 + $15,600 = $810,600 ARV = $743,160 → limit = 85% × ARV = $631,686 margin = $-178,914 · at band low ($673,077): $-238,485 — GREEN needs this ≥ 0
Rent — PASS
est. rent >= 0.40% x ARV
est. rent = $3,000/mo (whole house (3bd) $3,000) floor = 0.4% × ARV $743,160 = $2,973/mo rents table: Sechelt · as of 2026-08-02
Cash flow — FAIL

Zoning & land

R-3 — Small Lot Residential suite OK

Areas B/D/E/F: single-unit dwelling with a restricted second storey. Density is capped at one dwelling per parcel, but s.5.24.4 excludes secondary suites from that count, so a suite still works (wastewater carve-out aside). No auxiliary dwelling unit here. Area A: residential with auxiliary commercial — over 2000 m2 gets a duplex second unit OR one auxiliary dwelling unit. Sechelt R-3: SSMUH small-lot zone, suite plus up to 4 units. [Bylaw 722.9 s.7.3.2-7.3.3, s.5.24.4; Bylaw 337 s.621.1; Bylaw 580 s.1.3.2-1.3.4]
