If you live in Alpine and you haven't checked your HonestDoor Price lately, this is your nudge. The market here is doing two very different things depending on what type of property you own - and the gap between your city assessment and your real-world value is wider than most people think.
Let's be straight with each other, because that's what neighbors do.
For those of us in houses, the story is actually pretty solid. Yes, the average HonestDoor Price of $1,544,260 is down 4.24% from the previous period - the market is taking a breather. But here's the thing: the predicted forward value sits at $1,612,607, and that number is climbing above the 3-month moving average of $1,602,409. That's the market finding its footing again. House values have moved up 2.11% recently, and Alpine ranks 11 out of 54 comparable neighbourhoods in North Vancouver for growth. That puts us firmly in above-average territory on the neighbourhood leaderboard. Not the top of the podium, but well clear of the middle of the pack.
For condo owners, we need to have a more honest conversation. The average HonestDoor Price jumped 10.00% to $1,138,100 - that sounds great on paper. But the predicted value is currently $1,034,600, which is running below the 3-month moving average of $1,070,933. Recent value change sits at -7.08%, and Alpine condos rank 46 out of 48 neighbourhoods in North Vancouver for growth. That's bottom-of-the-leaderboard territory. Nearby Upper Lynn condos are predicted at $1,143,786, which means we're trailing a direct neighbour right now.
Here's the thing about your BC Assessment notice - it's a snapshot of the market from July 1st of the previous year. By the time it lands in your mailbox, it's already old news. The market doesn't wait for government paperwork.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. It pulls from actual sales data, current market movement, and what buyers are genuinely paying right now - not what they were paying 12 to 18 months ago. For Alpine house owners, that difference between the static assessment and the live HonestDoor Price could represent tens of thousands of dollars in equity you didn't know you had. For condo owners, it's an equally important reality check - because overpricing based on a stale assessment is one of the fastest ways to sit on the market too long.
Think of the HonestDoor Price as the number your real estate agent would whisper to you before you listed - except now you have it before the conversation even starts.
If you own a house in Alpine and you're thinking about listing this summer, the timing has some logic to it. The predicted value is trending up, the growth rank puts us ahead of most North Vancouver neighbourhoods, and a rental yield of 4.32% tells buyers this is a property that works as an investment too. You're not selling at the peak of the recent run, but you're not selling into a freefall either. Price it sharp, and you'll move it.
If you own a condo, the honest answer is: be careful. The predicted value is sitting below the moving average, the growth rank is near the bottom of the board, and the recent -7.08% shift is a real headwind. That doesn't mean don't sell - it means price it based on where the market actually is today, not where it was when you bought or what your assessment says. Pull your HonestDoor Price, compare it to Upper Lynn and Indian River nearby, and have that grounded conversation with your agent before you set a number.
Either way, the best move any Alpine homeowner can make right now is knowing their real number before anyone else does. That's exactly what the HonestDoor Price is for.
