A Vancouver home, which a listing describes as a one-of-a-kind architectural gem, is for sale, listed for $5 million over the assessed value.
The home has been listed for $12,488,000. The assessed value? $7,061,000, a difference of $5,427,000, or more than double the average Vancouver home benchmark price.
The big selling point for the property located at 7275 Blenheim Street is the size of the land, which is 42,790 sq ft.

According to Zealty, the 29-year-old two-storey home features four bedrooms and bathrooms with 3,796 sq ft.
It was listed for the first time this May for $12,999,000. That listing expired in August before being re-listed at the new price, shaving off over $500,000.
BC Assessment says the land is valued at $6,472,000, nearly half the current sale price.
Whether or not you agree with the price of the home, it’s certainly a unique property.
The home is located just south of Dunbar near the Fraser River, but it looks like something you’d expect to see in the Fraser Valley or BC Interior.

Finding a home listed over the assessed value in Vancouver isn’t uncommon, but it’s less typical to see a disparity of this size between the assessed value and the sale price.
