The big sell: Listing agents Shannon and Pat Drummond report that they had 30 showings for this Maple Ridge property before their clients accepted an offer within four days of it being listed. What attracted the interest was a one-acre estate home in a cul-de-sac location surrounded by mature trees. The country-style home was built in 1989 and features a wide veranda that wraps around the house. The interior has new white-oak hardwood flooring, wood-trim sash windows, an eat-in kitchen, a family room with a stone-surround corner gas fireplace, a formal living room with a bay window, and an office that could be used as a fifth bedroom. The family bathroom upstairs has been renovated and finished with heated floors, and the open-plan basement offers a number of design configurations.

The big sell: This three-bedroom condo in Kitsilano’s Arbutus Walk community reached a sale price that was just in excess of the listed value. It forms part of the ‘i’ complex – a pet- and rental-friendly low-rise concrete building constructed by Adera in 2004. The interior of this second-floor home has been fully renovated. It features an open-plan kitchen — complete with plenty of cabinet space, new stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops and an island — that overlooks the main living area where a focal point floating electric fireplace is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling tiles and custom shelving. A south-facing balcony can be accessed via both the master bedroom and the living room. The home comes with two side-by-side parking stalls, a storage locker and a monthly maintenance fee of $569.02.
