Burnaby's favourite celebrity had a happy new year as his mansion increased in value by six per cent to almost $28 million, according to BC Assessment.
Local crooner and megastar Michael Bublé's seven-bedroom, 15-bathroom, 12,000-square-foot home at 7868 Government Rd. has topped the list of Burnaby's highest valued homes for years and is the only Burnaby home to make B.C.'s top 100, coming in at No. 32 in 2025.
The home has jumped in value by $17.89 million since 2017, according to BC Assessment records.
This year's top 10 list of most valued Burnaby homes has one new addition: 7466 Whelen Crt. has knocked off 909 Burnwood Ave. for the 10th spot.
The other nine kept their positions.
Five of the top 10 homes, including Bublé's, are in the Government Road neighbourhood, and four are in Buckingham Heights.
Just one home, 7353 Braeside Dr., is in the Westridge neighbourhood, off the Barnet Highway.
Bublé's home assessment increased by six per cent, more than the typical single-family Burnaby home value increase of four per cent.
The other nine top home values increased between zero and three per cent.
