If you have been watching property values in Brow Of The Hill and wondering whether your assessment actually reflects reality, here is the straight answer: it depends on what you own. The city's numbers and the real-world market are telling two very different stories right now, and knowing the gap could save you - or cost you - serious money.
We are seeing a split personality in this neighbourhood right now, and it is worth paying attention to.
Houses: The average sale price for houses sits at $1,070,000, with price per square foot around $950. The HonestDoor Price for houses is $1,246,549 - and that number is actually climbing. The 3-month moving average is $1,258,245, and the predicted market value has nudged up to $1,279,605, a 2.28% recent change. That puts us at rank 5 out of 15 comparable neighbourhoods for growth - solidly above average on the neighbourhood leaderboard. For price, we sit at rank 7 out of 14, which is above average in New Westminster. If you own a house here, the fundamentals are holding up. Rental potential is strong too - estimated at $4,888 per month with a 4.36% yield, which is a decent return in this market.
Condos: This is where things get interesting. The average condo sale price is $558,000, with price per square foot around $488. That is slightly above nearby Kelvin ($545,000) but below Uptown ($650,000). The HonestDoor Price for condos, however, is $1,555,292 - and that figure is easing back slightly from a 3-month moving average of $1,604,154. Growth ranks 6 out of 15 on the neighbourhood leaderboard, still above average, but the momentum is taking a breather. Rental income potential is solid at $5,005 per month, though the yield of 3.16% is more modest. On price, condos rank 8 out of 12 in New Westminster - below average for the city.
Here is the thing about government assessments - they are a snapshot from last year, built on data that is already stale by the time it lands in your mailbox. The city's average assessed value for houses in Brow Of The Hill is $1,308,701. The HonestDoor Price is $1,246,549. That is a gap of about $62,000 - and it matters because buyers are not shopping based on assessments. They are shopping based on what the market is actually doing today.
For condos, the gap is even more dramatic. The average assessed value is $533,594. The HonestDoor Price is $1,555,292. That is not a typo - that is a 191% difference. If you are a condo owner in Brow Of The Hill and you are making any financial decision based on your assessment, you are working with the wrong number. The HonestDoor Price is the real-world check - updated continuously, not once a year.
Neighbourhood growth has dipped slightly - down 0.02% year over year for houses and 0.04% for condos - but that is a nudge, not a nosedive. We are not in freefall. We are just taking a breather after a strong run.
If you own a house in Brow Of The Hill and you are thinking about listing this summer, the timing is not bad. The predicted value is trending upward, the rental market is healthy, and we rank above average on both growth and price in New Westminster. Nearby Uptown is priced higher at a predicted $1,452,506, which means buyers priced out of Uptown may well be looking at us next. That is a real tailwind.
If you own a condo, the picture is a bit more nuanced. Values are still strong but the 3-month trend is softening slightly. With only 1 sale recorded recently and 5 transactions in 2026 so far, this is a thin market - which means pricing it right from day one is critical. Overprice it and it sits. Price it sharp and you could move quickly.
Either way, the single most useful thing you can do before calling an agent is check your HonestDoor Price. It is the number that reflects what a buyer would actually pay today - not what the city guessed last January. In a market where a $62,000 gap on houses and a six-figure gap on condos exists between assessment and reality, that check is not optional. It is just smart.
