Filter Like a Pro — Down to the Smallest Detail

Most sites stop at price and bedrooms. EstateBlock's filters go far deeper, so you only tour homes that actually fit your life:

Filter by maintenance fee before you fall in love with a condo. Search keywords like "legal suite" or "lane house". When your search is dialled in, hit Save Search and we'll do the hunting for you (more on that below), or Share Search to send the exact same view to your partner.

The Deal Finders

Hot Deals: Seven Ways We Find You a Bargain

Tap the Hot Deals button on any map and choose your hunting style:

  • AI EstateBlock Smart Picks — our algorithm compares every listing against comparable homes in the same neighbourhood and flags the ones priced 20–30% below their value.
  • Positive Cash Flow Rental — properties where the estimated rent covers the mortgage and carrying costs. Investors, start here.
  • Motivated Sellers — price reductions and long days-on-market: sellers who are ready to negotiate.
  • Foreclosures — court-ordered sales, all in one place.
  • Big Price Reductions — listings that just took a serious price cut, surfaced the day it happens.
  • Below Assessment — homes listed below their BC Assessment value.
  • Land Value — properties priced at or near land value alone. Builders and long-term investors, this one's for you.

Hot deals in Metro Vancouver typically sell in 1–2 days — which is exactly why our alerts reach you the moment a listing goes live.

Only on EstateBlock

See the Whole Neighbourhood, Not Just the House

Flip between data layers directly on the search map — crime, demographics, schools, daycares, transit, climate, ALR, floodplain, noise and more, all visualised right where you're searching.

Schools map layer showing catchment area boundaries and ratings

Schools: 655 Greater Vancouver school catchment areas with ratings similar to the Fraser Institute. See exactly which listings are served by which schools — and filter to only the best.

Crime map layer with a colour-coded heat map

Crime: a colour-coded heat map of total, violent and property crime — from low (green) to above average (red) — with listings overlaid.

Demographics map layer with income, population, language, children, transport and education sub-layers

Demographics: six sub-layers — Income, Population Characteristics, Language, Children, Transport and Education — so you can find a neighbourhood full of young families, or one where your language is spoken.

Shop and Eat map layer showing nearby restaurants, cafes and stores

Shop & Eat: every restaurant, cafe, grocery store and shop plotted right beside the listings — see at a glance whether you can live there without a car.

Transit map layer with bus stops, SkyTrain and West Coast Express lines

Transit: every bus stop, SkyTrain and West Coast Express line overlaid on the listings map — so "close to transit" stops being a guess and becomes something you can see.

Also on the map

  • Daycares — licensed childcare locations near every home.
  • ALR, floodplain & noise — Agricultural Land Reserve boundaries, flood-prone zones and traffic noise, visualised before you ever book a showing.
  • Comparable listings — similar active homes nearby, right on the map.
Every Listing, X-Rayed

Open a Listing and Know Everything

Every EstateBlock listing page is a full research report. Beyond photos and property details, you get an instant snapshot and a dozen deep-dive panels:

Listing quick summary panel with dollar per square foot, tax, monthly cost, Walk Score and flood risk

Quick Summary — $/sqft, annual tax, estimated monthly cost, Walk Score, SkyTrain distance, flood risk and crime at a glance.

School catchment panel on a listing page with ratings and distances

School Catchment — the exact schools serving this address, with ratings and distances, plus every school within 3 km.

Crime, demographics and noise panel on a listing page

Crime, Demographics & Noise — crime levels, education and employment stats, road/rail/airport noise, power lines, ALR and flood flags.

And that's not all

  • Property Timeline — full listing and price history (free account required for earlier records).
  • Walkability & Transit — Walk Score, Transit Score and Bike Score for every address.
  • Nearby Restaurants, Cafes & Shops — what's actually within walking distance.
  • Similar listings — comparable active homes nearby, including price reductions.
Walk Score, Transit Score and Bike Score panel on a listing page

Walk, Transit and Bike Scores on every listing.

Environmental and risk screening panel showing flood, noise, power line and ALR gauges

Environmental & Risk Screening — every listing is automatically checked against flood risk (FEMA & BC floodplain data), railway & SkyTrain noise, road & highway noise, airport noise (YVR contours), power line proximity and ALR status. Easy-to-read gauges show you the risk level for each — the due diligence most buyers never think to do, done for you on every single home.

Transit distance and commute time panel showing distance to the nearest SkyTrain station

How Close Is the Transit, Really? — the exact distance to the nearest SkyTrain station, plus pre-computed transit-vs-car commute times to Downtown, Metrotown, SFU, Richmond Centre and YVR. Or calculate your own commute to any address — by transit, car, bike or on foot.

Market Intelligence

Live Market Stats & a Sell-Speed Score for Every Home

Live market stats panel with benchmark prices and year-over-year changes

Latest market stats — benchmark prices, year-over-year changes, sales, active listings, days on market and the sales-to-active ratio for the neighbourhood, the city and the board — updated monthly, on every listing.

Sell Speed and competition score panel

Sell Speed & Competition — a 0–100 score predicting how fast this home will sell, whether it's a buyer's, balanced or seller's market, and how much competition you'll face.

Price versus neighbourhood average comparison chart

Price vs. Neighbourhood Average — compare the asking price against similar homes, and adjust beds, home type, square footage, lot size and year built to build your own comp set.

Negotiate with data, not gut feeling

Is the home priced above or below its neighbourhood? Is the market tilting toward buyers? How long do similar homes take to sell? EstateBlock answers all of it on the listing page — the same analysis an experienced REALTOR® runs before writing an offer.

Combine it with sold history (free account) and you'll walk into every negotiation knowing more than the other side expects.

Think 30 Years Ahead

Climate Risk for Every Postal Code

A home is a decades-long investment — so every listing includes a 30-year climate outlook for its postal code, using the 2041–2070 projection period under a moderate emissions scenario:

  • Flood — designated flood hazard zones and share of buildings at risk.
  • Fire — BC Wildfire Service wildland-urban interface risk class.
  • Air Quality — annual PM2.5 and AQHI from the nearest monitoring station.
  • Heat, Precipitation & Drought — days above 30°C, extreme rainfall and dry-spell projections for the 2050s.
30-year climate risk panel showing flood, fire, air quality, heat, precipitation and drought grades

Flood, fire, air quality, heat, precipitation and drought — graded for every listing.

Run the Numbers

Built-In Mortgage & Investment Calculators

Mortgage calculator pre-loaded with a listing's price and property taxes

Mortgage Calculator — pre-loaded with the listing's real price and property taxes. Drag the sliders for down payment and interest rate, pick your term, and see your monthly payment instantly.

Investment cashflow calculator showing cap rate and cash-on-cash return

Investment Cashflow Calculator — estimated rental income, vacancy rate, insurance and taxes in; monthly cashflow, cap rate, cash-on-cash return and break-even down payment out. Every listing, instantly.

Pair the cashflow calculator with the Positive Cash Flow Rental deal finder and you have a complete investor workflow — from discovery to underwriting — without leaving the listing page.
