The infrastructure that genuinely moves value on the west side is different. The bus rapid transit corridors and the associated corridor growth planning, Circle Drive and Highway access, school openings and closures, and any rezoning that permits more density on a block all change what a property can be used for and who will buy it. Those are the plans worth tracking, and they are published by the City rather than by a listing portal.
Fairhaven itself is a southwest neighbourhood built largely in the 1970s and 1980s, with a mix of bungalows, split levels, townhouses and small multi-unit buildings, and rents that appeal to a broad tenant base. For a small residential building there, value is set by the achievable rents, the vacancy history, the condition of the roof, boiler and parking, and whether the unit count on title matches the unit count in the City's file.
That last point is where owners lose money. Buildings of this vintage often have a suite or two added over the years with no permit, so the public record undercounts the property and every automated estimate inherits that error. Joel Dyck's hand-reviewed valuation reconciles what is built against what is recorded and prices the building on what it verifiably is.
