Buying a home in British Columbia is expensive. But what do you get when price may not be an issue?
A search of $1-million British Columbia homes on the Multiple Listing Service turns up too many results to show on a map.
They narrow down when you reach $10 million. At this point, dots disappear from a map, and few properties show up outside southwestern B.C.
These opulent homes boast up to seven bedrooms, home theatres and games rooms. They represent the upper limit of an unaffordable market that is only now showing signs of decline.
Here's what $10 million can buy you in British Columbia:
