Description
This one’s got a LOT to offer — literally. Located right in the thick of Merritt, this nearly 0.4-acre flat lot gives you the best of both worlds: tucked away from the hustle and bustle, yet just a short stroll to parks, nature trails, and the quiet charm of the Burgess area. Hop in the car and you’re only minutes from downtown, the aquatic, curling, and civic center, the rink, the hospital, and everything the valley has to offer. You’ll be surrounded by beautiful executive-style homes — some with pools ('howdy there neighbor can I come by for a dip?') — in a neighborhood where price points hover above the $1 million mark. That makes this lot a smart move whether you’re planning to build your dream home, where you could also add a carriage house or detached shop, or simply invest in one of Merritt’s most desirable pockets before it’s gone. All city services are available right at the lot line (not yet connected), and buyers are encouraged to confirm hookup costs with the City of Merritt. Flat, central, and full of potential — this property truly has a LOT going for it. (id:63159)

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.

Financial Summary
Cash Needed at Closing
Minimum down payment: 5% on the first $500,000, 10% on the portion up to $1.5M, 20% at/above $1.5M. 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.
