If you have been glancing at your latest property assessment and feeling pretty good about yourself, hold on. The real-world numbers in Clearbrook right now tell a different story - and it is one every homeowner here needs to hear before making a move.
We are not in freefall, but we are not climbing either. House values in Clearbrook are drifting downward. The average sale price sits at $1,082,500, and the HonestDoor predicted market value is $1,066,698 - already down from the 3-month moving average of $1,076,671. That is a quiet but consistent slide of about 1.41% recently.
On the neighbourhood leaderboard, our house growth rate ranks 19 out of 22 comparable areas in Abbotsford. That puts us near the bottom of the pack for momentum. Price-wise we sit at 11 out of 22 - right in the middle. So we are average in value but lagging in growth. That gap matters if you are thinking about timing a sale.
Two properties sold this month. That is a thin market. Low transaction volume means each sale carries a lot of weight in setting the tone for what buyers expect to pay next.
The condo side of Clearbrook is busier - 22 transactions recorded in 2026, ranking us 3rd in Abbotsford for total condo sales volume. But busy does not mean strong. The average sale price dropped to $223,000 this month, down 25.7% from last month. One sale does not make a trend, but that number is a signal worth watching.
Condo growth also ranks 19 out of 22 in Abbotsford. Price rank is 8 out of 10 - below average. Our condos are cheaper than most comparable neighbourhoods nearby, including Townline ($443,311 HonestDoor Price) and Peardonville ($405,168). Even South Clearbrook condos are selling slightly higher at $242,500 on average versus our $223,000.
Here is the thing about your city assessment. It is a snapshot from the past. It does not adjust for what buyers are actually offering today, this month, in this market. In Clearbrook right now, that gap is significant.
The average assessed value for houses here is $1,145,939. The HonestDoor Price is $1,061,199. That is a difference of roughly $84,740 - and the HonestDoor Price is already down 0.52% from the previous period. For condos, the assessed value averages $358,107 while the HonestDoor Price sits at $313,106 - a gap of over $45,000, and that figure has dropped 1.47% recently.
If you are pricing a home based on your assessment, you are starting from a number that is 7.39% higher (for houses) or 12.57% higher (for condos) than what the current market is signalling. That is not a small rounding error. That is the difference between a listing that sells and one that sits.
The HonestDoor Price updates in real time. Your assessment does not. Check yours at HonestDoor before you do anything else.
If selling is on your mind, here is the straight talk on where Clearbrook stands heading into summer.
The market is taking a breather. Values are drifting down, transaction volume is low, and our growth rank puts us near the bottom of the Abbotsford leaderboard. That does not mean you cannot sell - it means you need to be sharp about pricing from day one.
The sellers who win this summer will be the ones who price against what buyers are actually paying - not what the city assessed a year ago. Pull your HonestDoor Price, compare it to your assessment, and have an honest conversation about where the market really is. That is the move.
