If you've been glancing at your latest property assessment and wondering if it tells the whole story, the short answer is: not quite. Albion is holding its ground in a market that's taking a breather, and the numbers are worth a close look before summer selling season kicks in.
We're sitting in a neighbourhood where 2,944 properties were assessed this year and the average HonestDoor Price of $1,227,409 is essentially neck-and-neck with the city's assessed average of $1,226,950. That $459 gap tells you the city got pretty close this time - but "pretty close" isn't the same as "right now, today." Markets move. Assessments don't.
There were 11 property transactions recorded in 2026, and our total transaction rank of 3rd in Maple Ridge means Albion is one of the busier neighbourhoods for actual deals getting done. People are still buying here.
Here's what the house market looks like on the ground right now:
That combination - above-average growth with below-average price - is actually a good spot to be in. We're not the most expensive room at the party, but we're trending in the right direction. The predicted value of $1,252,211 is creeping above the 3-month average, which means momentum is quietly building, not fading.
The condo picture is a bit more cautious. Here's where things stand:
Condos in Albion are taking a breather. The predicted value dipping below the 3-month moving average is a signal to pay attention to, not panic about. The Airbnb rank of 4th in Maple Ridge is a bright spot - if you're holding a condo here, short-term rental income is a real option worth running the numbers on.
Your city assessment is a snapshot taken months ago, based on data that was already aging when they mailed it to you. It doesn't know what sold on your street last Tuesday. It doesn't factor in the rate shifts that happened this spring. It's a starting point, not a finish line.
The HonestDoor Price updates in real time. For houses in Albion, that means a predicted value of $1,252,211 - a number that's actually moving upward right now, not frozen in time. For condos, it's flagging a softening trend that your assessment won't reflect until next year. That's the difference between making a decision with today's information versus last year's.
Albion's HonestDoor Price ranks 13th in Maple Ridge for average assessed value - which means we're in the mid-range of the market. But knowing where you rank is only useful if the number itself is current. That's exactly what the HonestDoor Price gives you.
If you own a house in Albion and you've been on the fence, here's the honest take: the market isn't on fire, but it's not stalling either. A predicted value of $1,252,211 trending above its own 3-month average is a quiet green light. You're not leaving money on the table by listing this summer - especially with Albion sitting 7th out of 24 on the growth leaderboard.
Compared to nearby neighbourhoods, the picture gets clearer. Albion Flats is cheaper at $984,016 and growing slower. Cottonwood is cheaper at $1,062,046 and also growing slower. Albion is the stronger address in this pocket of Maple Ridge right now, and buyers looking at the area will see that when they compare.
If you own a condo, summer 2025 is a moment to be strategic, not rushed. The value dip of 1.06% isn't a crisis, but listing into a softening trend means pricing needs to be sharp. Pull your HonestDoor Price, see where you actually stand today, and make the call from there - not from a piece of mail that arrived in January.
Bottom line: Albion is a solid neighbourhood holding real value. The data backs it up. Check your HonestDoor Price, know your number, and make your move with eyes open.
