House for sale in B.C. listed for $128K, but there's a catch

THE DAMAGED SECTION OF THE ROAD

SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY EARLY

NEXT WEEK. A HOME WAS HAS HIT

THE MARKET IN OAK BAY PRICED AT

JUST OVER 128 $1000. THE CATCH

THE LAND IS NOT INCLUDED.

HOWEVER, THE SELLER WILL MOVE

THE HOUSE, WHICH MAY ACTUALLY

BE A MORE AFFORDABLE WAY TO GET

INTO THE HOUSING MARKET HERE

NOW AS BRENDAN STRAIN.

>> THIS 850 SQUARE FOOT, 2

BEDROOM, ONE BATHROOM RENOVATED

HOME IN OAK BAY COULD BE YOUR

FOR $120,000. THE CATCH THE

LAND IS NOT INCLUDED, IT'S NOT

A PIECE OF JUNK AND NEITHER

MANY OF THE GYM CONNELLY'S WITH

NICKEL BROTHERS, THE COMPANY

THAT SELLING THE HOME, HE SAYS

THEY'LL MOVE IT ANYWHERE WITHIN

THE CAPITAL REGION UNDER THE

LIST PRICE. SO 40'S BILL.

>> AND YOU KNOW, IN THE 40'S,

YOU HAD TO REALLY FULLY

DIMENSIONAL FOR ITS ALMOST

CLEAR GOOD BONES, NEW ROOF AND

PLENTY OF UPGRADES. THE

QUESTION IS DURING THE HOUSING

CRISIS THAT HAS SEEN THE PRICE

OF BUILDING MATERIALS

CONSISTENTLY RICE. IS THIS A

CHEAPER WAY TO GET YOURSELF

INTO HOME OWNERSHIP FOR SURE.

WE SAVED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS

AND ALINA LEWIS SAYS YES, SHE

AND HER PARTNER LOST THEIR SOUP

HOME TO A FIRE BACK IN 2021.

INSTEAD OF REBUILDING, THEY

MAY BE A CHEAPER OPTION THAN

BUILDING NEW, BUT IT'S NOT FOR

THE FAINT OF HEART. BY THE TIME

YOU DO HOOKUPS, IT DEPENDS ON

YOUR FROM THE LAND TO DOESN'T

HAVE SEPTIC IS IT IS ALREADY

HOOKED UP OR DO YOU HAVE TO

DO THIS FROM SCRATCH? SHE SAYS

NAVIGATING MUNICIPALITIES

PERMITTING PROCESSES CAN ALSO

BE OVERWHELMING AND OFTEN

FRUSTRATING. SO THERE'S A FEW

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND. THE

COUPLE IS NOW LOST A CONSULTING

BUSINESS TO HELP OTHERS

NAVIGATE THE TWISTS AND TURNS

OF MOVING A HOME CALLED

RENEGADE BUILDERS. THESE

BUILDINGS ARE BEING RELOCATED

TO MORE AFFORDABLE AREAS OR

RURAL PROPERTIES. ACCORDING

TO B.C. ASSESSMENT, THE LAND

THIS OAK BAY HOME SITS ON IS

VALUED AT MORE THAN 1 MILLION

DOLLARS. ACCORDING TO THE SUIT

REALTOR, WE SPOKE WITH A PIECE

OF PROPERTY IN SOUP.

>> THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR AN

OLDER HOME TO BE RELOCATED TO

WOULD COST IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

OF $400,000. NOT ONLY DO WE

HAVE AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING

CRISIS, WE HAVE A MATERIALS

CRISIS. NICKEL BROTHER SAYS

THEY ARE SEEING AN INCREASE IN

OPTION THROUGHOUT THE PACIFIC

NORTHWEST. ONE THAT IS NOT ONLY

MORE AFFORDABLE IN THE LONG

RUN, BUT ALSO BETTER FOR T
