Description

This spacious .21-acre flat lot, with 71.5 ft of frontage and 125 ft of depth, presents an exceptional investment opportunity. The property owners have already initiated the subdivision process, aiming to divide the lot into two separate titles. Pin locations are in place, allowing a clear view of the proposed division, and building plans for the two new lots are available upon request. The property is serviced with both water and sewer connections on-site. Should you choose to proceed with the subdivision, only one connection fee will be required from the city main, streamlining initial costs. This lot is ideal for various development options: maximize your investment by completing the subdivision or enjoy the freedom to build on a larger lot with ample space. Buyers are advised to confirm subdivision costs and requirements with the City of Merritt. Whether you're looking to invest or build, this property offers versatility, convenience, and potential.

How this is calculated

Amenities: points awarded per category (restaurants, cafes, grocery, parks, shopping, gyms, pharmacies, banks/ATMs, healthcare) based on distance to the nearest one — 3 points under 200m, 2 points under 500m, 1 point under 800m — summed across all 9 categories and scaled to 0–100.

Transit: based on the number of transit stops within 800m and their mode (SkyTrain weighted highest, then streetcar/ferry, then bus). This reflects stop type and count only — our data doesn't include how often a route actually runs, so frequency is never factored in.

Both scores depend on how much of the surrounding area has been synced from OpenStreetMap and TransLink's GTFS feed. A lower score can mean fewer amenities nearby, or simply that this area hasn't been fully synced yet — not a confident measurement of the location itself.

Stress test: OSFI's minimum qualifying rate, the greater of contract rate + 2% or 5.25% — this is what lenders require you to qualify at, not what you'll actually pay. Closing costs are a typical-range estimate, not a quote — actual legal fees vary. Verify all figures with a mortgage broker and lawyer before relying on them.
