These days, it’s tough to find a home in Vancouver’s red-hot real estate market that costs under $1-million. Anyone in the market knows that homeowners have to make compromises to purchase a single-family home: carpet that needs replacing, updating a kitchen, fixing the backyard.

But they probably wouldn’t expect that the home would have the dubious distinction of being a former marijuana grow operation.

A 1968 “Vancouver Special” just listed in East Vancouver for $930,000 used to house a grow-op, according to its MLS listing.

The six-bedroom, three-bathroom home was briefly deemed uninhabitable in 2001 after the discovery, but a re-occupancy permit was issued just a few months later.

The listing says the 2,900-square-foot multi-level home underwent renovations eight years ago, including a new roof and hot water tank.

The real value of the home is the land it sits on: A nearly 6,000-square-foot property.

A depressing housing report released Wednesday by Vancity says the average price of a home in Vancouver will surge to more than $2.1-million by 2030 if the market remains unchecked.

That figure means owning a home would require more than 100 per cent of the median income to maintain.

$930,000 for dumpy East Van house AND it's a former grow-op? Seems too good to be true! http://t.co/DdCRpF0OL8 pic.twitter.com/K8KP6EXC7Z — CTV Darcy (@darcynews) March 25, 2015
