104 688 E 16TH AVENUE

Vancouver, British Columbia · Neighbourhood: Fraser

Local Decision Guide

How should buyers evaluate 104 688 E 16TH AVENUE?

Start by reading this listing in its Vancouver Fraser context: price, property type, land or strata setup, age, transit, schools, similar supply, carrying costs and resale liquidity should be considered together, not just photos and asking price.

What should be checked before writing an offer?
  • Recent comparable sales, competing active listings, days on market, price changes and current market pace.
  • Property condition, inspection risk, insurance, financing, tax, title and any disclosure documents.
  • For strata homes, review minutes, contingency reserve, special levies, rental rules and pet bylaws.
How do buyers find land with rebuild or multiplex potential, what should they watch, and how can returns be improved?

To find land with this potential, start with zoning, lot size, frontage, lane or driveway access, servicing, trees, slope, basement conditions, BC Assessment, title restrictions and municipal permits. The highest-return plan is usually not simply the maximum unit count; it is the best balance between approval risk, construction cost, rent or resale pricing, floor-plan efficiency, parking and holding period.

Vancouver listings should separate R1-1, RS, RT, laneway house and multiplex rules during review. R1-1 is an important low-density housing reform signal, but heritage, trees, underground servicing, parking, corner-lot conditions and existing building condition can all change the practical outcome.

Vancouver R1-1 / RS / RT / laneway quick checklist
  • Confirm whether zoning is R1-1, RS, RT or another district.
  • Review laneway house, multiplex, heritage, tree, parking and servicing rules separately.
  • Do not rely on lot size alone; corner-lot conditions, underground servicing and existing building condition can affect the plan.
What does this page not replace?

It does not replace a realtor, lawyer, inspector, mortgage broker, insurance review, tax advice, strata documents, BC Assessment or municipal records. Use it to form better questions, then verify independently.

Remarks

Welcome to VINTAGE, where this bright, ground-level 2 bed + 2 bath home lives more like a townhouse than a condo - thanks to its own private street-level patio entrance that makes everyday life (and big grocery runs) effortless. Inside, every one of the 784 square ft is put to work: an open-concept living, dining and kitchen area built for entertaining, a cozy natural-gas fireplace (gas is covered by the strata fee), and a flex nook that works as a home office or storage. The primary bedroom offers a walk-in closet and ensuite, with a second bedroom and full bath alongside. Fully rainscreened and set well back from 16th, the home is quiet and easy to keep comfortable year-round. Comes with underground parking, a shared EV charger, bike room and elevator. Pets welcome; the strata is proactive and well-funded. Steps to Main Street and Fraser favourites - Savio Volpe, Bells & Whistles, Earnest Ice Cream - one block to transit and a direct bus downtown, in a safe, friendly, family-filled neighbourhood. Move-in ready. (id:56153)
