Hi, T Rogers.  I'm a retired gent, no ties to real estate (other than the 5-yr. old 2,000 sq. ft. home I bought in BC this October for $399,000.)  I can hear gasps of amazement from readers all over the Lower Mainland.  WHERE did this incredible home price originate from?? 

Ans: Chilliwack, about an hour east of where you reside, T Rogers.  Just checked a couple of days ago, Royal Lepage features over 7 pages (PAGES, not listings) of homes available to you and anyone else for less than $400,000.  Have a look close to home and then...move up the Valley...
