The Cedar Valley Score: Fully Renovated, Under $900K, and Nothing Left to Do

Our clients moved quickly and paid asking price — $888,900 — for a completely overhauled 2025 family home on a quiet cul-de-sac in Cedar Valley. In a Mission market where comparable two-storey homes routinely cross $1,000,000, that number tells the whole story.

32663 Appleby Court, Cedar Valley, Mission · MLS R3122204 · Sold at $888,900

There is a version of this story where our clients waited — where they watched comps in Cedar Valley accumulate at $1.05M and $1.1M and told themselves the market would soften. They didn’t wait. When 32663 Appleby Court came to market at $888,900, they recognized what the number actually meant: a completely renovated home in a well-established Mission neighbourhood, vacant and ready to occupy, priced more than $100,000 below where the market was running. They came in at asking price and got it done.

The home was built in 2006 as part of Tunbridge Station, a low-density residential development in Cedar Valley that sits at the eastern edge of Mission. It’s a two-storey detached with a concrete perimeter foundation, wood-frame construction, and a vinyl and wood exterior — the bones of a well-built Fraser Valley family home from the mid-2000s. What happened in 2025 is what makes this property different from every other comparable on the street: the sellers went through and renovated everything. New paint throughout, new engineered hardwood on the main floor, new carpet upstairs, new appliances, a new furnace, and quartz countertops in every room that needed them. The result is a house that reads as essentially new on the inside.

The covered front porch with black-trimmed craftsman entry — the same dark accent appears on the fascia, columns, and rear deck structure throughout the property.

What the Market Said

The purchase price of $888,900 looks even better when you place it against the surrounding data. BC Assessment’s 2026 valuation for the property is $955,000 — meaning our clients bought 32663 Appleby Court at roughly $66,000 below assessed value. That doesn’t happen by accident on a renovated home that just had its furnace, appliances, flooring, and countertops replaced. It happens when the seller prices for a quick, clean transaction and the buyer is ready to move at asking without hesitation.

The immediate comparables confirm the spread. At the time of purchase, the nearest active listings in the same neighbourhood were telling a very different price story: 32662 Appleby Court — the same street, the same 2006 build year, a similar lot — was listed at $1,035,000 for 1,964 square feet and four bedrooms. That’s $146,100 more than what our clients paid, for a home that had been sitting on market 24 days without an accepted offer. One door over at 32615 Appleby Court, a 2011-built home at 2,423 square feet was asking $1,099,900 — and had been on the market 17 days. Further along, 32712 Tunbridge Avenue — a 2008-built three-bedroom with a larger lot at $949,000 — had been listed for 77 days without a sale.

The sold comps in the surrounding area follow the same pattern. 32621 Maynard Place — a 4-bedroom, 2,676-square-foot home built in 2010 — sold in April 2026 at $1,121,000. Properties at 32689 Carter Avenue and 32739 Cunningham Avenue, both newer 2022 builds, sold between $1,290,000 and $1,457,900. Our clients’ home was smaller than most of those comparables, but at $518 per square foot of finished floor area, and with a completely renovated interior ready to occupy, the value-per-dollar calculus was clear from the first showing.

Craftsman Exterior, Renovated Front to Back

The exterior reads as a traditional craftsman two-storey: vinyl siding in a warm greige, dark charcoal trim on the fascia, brackets, and columns, and a covered front porch that runs the full width of the entry. The black front door with arched panel and sidelites was part of the 2025 work — it’s a clean, considered choice that ties directly to the dark metalwork on the rear deck and garage hardware. The landscaping runs rock mulch rather than lawn, which keeps maintenance low and gives the front a tidy, tailored appearance year-round.

At 40 feet of frontage on a cul-de-sac lot, the site itself is quiet by design — Appleby Court terminates in a dead end, which eliminates cut-through traffic entirely. The property sits on 4,004 square feet, which in Cedar Valley is a standard single-family parcel: enough for the fenced rear yard, the covered deck, and the detached garage on the lane, without excess maintenance obligations.

The Kitchen: White Cabinets, Black Island, Quartz Throughout

The kitchen renovation is where the 2025 scope is most visible. The perimeter cabinets are white raised-panel with antique brass hardware — a combination that photographs well and holds up to daily use without looking like a trend. The island takes the opposing finish: black painted base with matching brass ring pulls, topped with a marble-look quartz slab that runs across every surface in the room. The undermount black composite sink sits in the island, paired with a brushed-gold pull-down faucet. Subway tile in a pale grey runs the full backsplash behind the range.

The pantry door — etched glass with a carved panel surround — gives the kitchen a custom detail that most renovations at this price point don’t bother with. Open shelving on raw-edge planks with black iron brackets sits adjacent to the island, providing display and access storage without closing off the sightline toward the dining room. The engineered hardwood floors carry through from the entry and living room, keeping the main level visually continuous.

Rooms That Set This Home Apart

The Main Floor Living Areas

The main floor is 932 square feet organized around a conventional but well-proportioned plan: entry foyer off the front door, living room running 16 by 16 feet across the front of the house, dining room at 11 by 16 feet connected to the kitchen, and a half-bath tucked off the foyer. What makes the execution above average is the finishing. Crown moulding runs throughout the main level — it’s a detail that distinguishes a serious renovation from a cosmetic flip. The engineered hardwood floors are consistent throughout, the paint is a fresh warm grey, and the electric fireplace sits within a black tile surround framed by a full-height accent wall.

The 16′ × 16′ living room — new engineered hardwood, crown moulding, and an electric fireplace with black tile surround and full-height accent wall.

Upper Laundry

The laundry is on the upper floor, which is where it belongs in a family home where all three bedrooms are upstairs. The room runs 5 by 8 feet — narrow but properly fitted with upper cabinets, a utility sink, and a front-load washer/dryer pair. Tile flooring. The practical case for upper-floor laundry in a two-storey is straightforward: bedding and clothing originate on this level, and they return here. The alternative — hauling laundry up and down a flight of stairs twice per load — is the kind of thing that doesn’t register until you’ve lived it for a year.

The Secondary Bedrooms

Two secondary bedrooms occupy the upper floor alongside the primary. Each runs 10 by 11 feet — standard proportions for a family bedroom, enough for a queen bed, dresser, and desk without the room feeling pinched. The 2025 renovation included new carpet throughout the upper level, which means both rooms present in move-in condition. One of the bedrooms features board-and-batten wainscoting on the lower half of the walls — an applied millwork detail that reads as a considered finish choice rather than an afterthought. The shared four-piece bath between the secondary rooms is updated with quartz countertops, white cabinets, and a glass-enclosed shower.

The Primary Suite

The primary bedroom runs 12 by 15 feet with a five-foot-six walk-in closet off the side and direct access to the ensuite. The room faces north, giving it the mountain views the listing describes — the upper windows on this side of the house look out toward the range. New carpet throughout the upper level means the primary presents in the same condition as the rest of the renovation. The ensuite is a four-piece with quartz countertops carrying the same marble-look material from the kitchen, white raised-panel cabinetry with black hardware, and a glass-enclosed shower with a brushed gold rain head. The format is clean and current without being fussy.

The 12′ × 15′ primary bedroom looks north toward the mountains. New carpet, walk-in closet, and direct ensuite access.

Outdoor Living: Covered Deck, Paver Patio, and a Fenced Rear Yard

The rear yard is fully fenced and organized into three distinct zones. The covered deck directly off the back of the house uses a black steel post-and-beam frame with a polycarbonate panel roof — it provides genuine weather protection without cutting off natural light, which matters for a north-facing rear yard. Paver stones in a grid pattern extend the usable outdoor surface well beyond the deck footprint. A row of columnar cedars has been planted along the interior fence line, providing privacy screening as they mature. The yard also includes a chainlink dog run on one side, which is easy to remove if not needed and genuinely useful if it is.

The rear yard: paver patio, black steel covered deck, columnar cedars along the fence line, and the detached double garage accessed from the lane.

The Detached Shop: The Feature That Closed the Deal

The detached double garage sits at the rear of the lot, accessed from the lane. It has its own electrical service, a proper garage door with opener, and enough depth to function as a workshop as well as vehicle storage — the listing correctly describes it as a shop/garage, and the photos bear that out. Lane access means the driveway in front of the house stays clear, which in a cul-de-sac setting is a practical advantage. The garage is separate from the house, which matters for anyone who actually uses the space as a workshop: sound and fumes stay outside.

In Cedar Valley at this price, a detached double garage with lane access is not a given. Most homes in this range have an attached single or a small tandem bay. The detached shop here is the kind of feature that differentiates a property in a competitive offer situation — and it did.
