Over the last 10 years, the value of a single-family home on the east side of Vancouver grew 105.9 percent.

As of February 2021, a typical detached residence on this part of the city was $1,565,800.

Once you get past Ontario Street, which is the west side of Vancouver, homes are twice more expensive.

As of February 2021, the benchmark price of a single-family home on the west side was $3,203,200.

This means a 65.9 percent growth over the past decade.

While it's understandable that Vancouver gets a lot of attention, records from the real estate boards of Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley show that many suburban areas are witnessing higher levels of growth in the value of detached homes.

Abbotsford leads the way. The value of a single-family home in the mostly rural city grew 137 percent in the last 10 years.

Langley comes third with 133.7 percent, and a typical price of $1,210,600.

The three areas form part of the market served by the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board.

For the region covered by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, three areas outside the city of Vancouver top the list.
