If you've been glancing at your last property assessment and assuming that's the number that matters, here's a reality check. The market has moved. Your assessment hasn't. Here's what's actually happening on the streets of Blacklock right now.
Blacklock is a solid, established neighbourhood in Langley - 850 properties assessed this year, 8 transactions recorded in 2026, and a community that holds its value. Neighbourhood growth is essentially flat at -0.08% year over year, which means we're not in a freefall. We're taking a breather. The question is whether that pause is your window to act.
If you own a house in Blacklock, here's the snapshot that matters:
For context, our houses are selling higher than Alice Brown ($1,017,500 average sale price), which tells us Blacklock commands a premium over some of its closest neighbours. The predicted value is slightly below Alice Brown's $1,282,345, so there's upside if the market firms up.
Here's the part most people in Blacklock are sleeping on. Our condos are quietly punching above their weight.
Compared to nearby condos, we're priced above Uplands ($505,667) and well above Douglas ($438,329). Simonds sits much higher at $684,325, but that's a different price bracket entirely. For what we offer, Blacklock condos are well-positioned.
Your BC Assessment is a snapshot frozen in time - typically reflecting market conditions from July of the prior year. A lot has happened since then. The average assessed value in Blacklock sits at $1,125,259 for houses. The average HonestDoor Price is $1,119,260 - about 0.53% lower than that assessment. That gap is small, but it's real, and it's current.
The HonestDoor Price updates in real time using actual sales data, market trends, and comparable properties. It's not a government estimate built on last year's numbers. It's the closest thing to what a buyer would actually offer you today. Right now, that number is telling us house values dipped 4.60% from the previous period. If you're basing decisions on your assessment alone, you're working with a rearview mirror. The HonestDoor Price is the windshield.
Here's the honest answer for Blacklock homeowners thinking about listing this summer.
For house owners: the predicted value is inching up past the 3-month average, volume is low (only 2 recent sales), and you're ranked 7th out of 17 neighbourhoods for growth. Low inventory can work in your favour - fewer competing listings means your home gets more attention. If you've been waiting for a sign, a rising predicted value combined with thin supply is a reasonable one.
For condo owners: a growth rank of 2nd out of 16 in Langley is genuinely strong. The predicted value is climbing, rental yield is moderate at 3.81%, and you're priced competitively against nearby neighbourhoods. Summer buyers looking for an entry point into Langley will be cross-shopping Blacklock condos against Uplands and Douglas - and right now, our numbers hold up well.
The bottom line: Blacklock isn't the hottest market in Langley, but it's not struggling either. It's a stable neighbourhood with improving predicted values, strong condo growth rankings, and real rental income potential. Check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else - it's the most honest number you've got.
