Metro Vancouver is Canada's most desirable place to live for many reasons, and those exact reasons are what make it the most unaffordable market for real estate. However, affordable homes in the Tri-Cities are out there, and we found some of the best ones for you. Here's a list of 7 cheap houses for sale near Vancouver, B.C. that will make your dreams of owning a home seem possible again. Sure, these houses aren't multimillion-dollar B.C. mansions with their own private beaches and waterfalls, and they may not be on their own private Gulf island, but they're in good shape and close to all the action. If you want to get into the Vancouver real estate market but can't afford the down payment on a million-dollar home, these properties are worth checking out. Sure, you could buy a condo in the heart of downtown for the same price, but don't you just love the idea of lounging in your own backyard? The average sold price of a Vancouver home is $1.2 million, according to Zolo. So, not only are these homes way cheaper than average, but you could also put some of the money you're saving towards a small renovation or a super cozy couch. Take a look at these 7 homes for sale for under $500,000 near Vancity and find the one that calls your name!
