That is a fairly substantial difference between 3 and 5, must be just to stimulate renewals otherwise the difference seems too substantial | Yeah, depending on the rate at renewal I will be able to pay it down a lot or even pay it off. Odds our I won't pay it down (invest it instead) but I like the optionality to be mortgage free in 3 years.

I went variable, and gave up on paying extra, at ~4ish% I rather invest the lump sum payments as I think the market can beat that. + I'm pretty certain there will be more cuts cuz Canada ain't doing shit.
Inflation will pay for the % + property appreciation, I rather grow net worth.

Anyone renewed their home insurance recently?
My policy with MAX insurance is up for renewal in August.. I’m tempted to go back to BCAA with this policy and see if they can get close. The inevitable headache with BCAA is that if they jack it up next year I’ve gotta leave again..

Mine went up by ~9%. I was expecting an increase, but I wasn't expecting a 9% increase.

We switched to Family last year, this year when we renewed it went up by like 10%. Still beating Wawanesa when they wanted $4k despite being a long term customer with no claims.

I'm reasonably knowledgeable about Burnaby zoning rules and I have no idea where this one fits.

Burnaby.ca shows it was added in 2021. I'm guessing they applied to build to the maximum FSR allowed with that add on?

Why do people do things like that? Did they not think “hey, this looks stupid” at any point?

If I was the owner doing the addition, I would have done everything I can to ensure that the style of the newly built section to follow the stylistic design as the existing structure as much as possible so that everything looks as seamless as it can be.
I understand that building code and such have changed, so it may in fact be impossible to accurately replicate the existing structure's style. But still, the home owner isn't even trying here.
Just baffles my mind...

not sure if it's true, it's considered an add on so it bypasses a lot of permits?

Why buy 1 dump for 2 million when you can buy a double sized dump for 7.8 million? I guess?
You could literally buy an architecturally significant home with ocean view in west van for less than that lol.

Yet it's clearly a few thousand sf and is attached to the principal building so somehow Burnaby allowed it as extension of the existing house yet BC Assessment doesn't see it that way.

When I used to live around that are, I would always pass by that abomination of a house, if you could even call it that.
It seemed to be occupied by old school mainlanders that used every inch of their front yardage as a garden. With pvc piping and all that. How the city approved the design of that addition is a head scratcher since it was recently added. Definitely after or during the pandemic.

This house is listed as a rental a block down for $11K/month. It’s a nice place, but $11K for Brentwood seems very steep...  https://www.vancouverrentalgroup.ca/...Burnaby-North/ | |
