What a Million Dollars Gets You in Edmonton | Real Estate Listings
By Alan F Macdonald
A million dollar house in Edmonton is always going to be everything you want, right? I tell people whenever they shop for a home that you will never be totally satisfied with anything – even if you’re buying a million dollar house. The more money you spend, the more you’ll expect. When you had half a million dollars to spend on a house, you were ok living 45 minutes from work; now that you have a million to spend on a house, you expect to live ten minutes from downtown. Guess what the result is? Your house might be the same size as before, and just be in a different neighbourhood! Craziness! The thing is that your wants are going to change with your pocketbook; that’s just human nature. It is sobering to see these homes, though. In many cases, you’ll probably say “they want a million dollars for that!?” You can even see some homes listed that are simply lot value. You might even see some that are just vacant lots and many of them will be infill homes. Aside from the overpriced homes in this list, try to think of why each of these homes may in fact be worth more than a million dollars. Many people call these luxury homes, but that has a connotation that this is where homeowners just relax and entertain. There’s more to owning an expensive house than just luxury. Think: location, size, history and materials. Some of these homes are small, but they have an amazing location. Some of them are very old, but they are gigantic. Some are brand new and on enormous lots, but they are far far away from downtown Edmonton. It’s all relative and many factors go into the value of these homes.
Here are the million dollar houses for sale in Edmonton. Check out the listings below:
