If you have been watching the "For Sale" signs around Clearbrook lately, here is what is actually happening. The market is taking a breather. Values are edging down, sales are quiet, and the number the city put on your property last assessment cycle is looking increasingly out of touch with reality. That gap matters - especially if you are thinking about making a move this summer.
We are seeing house prices hold their ground on the surface, but dig a little deeper and the trend is pointing downward. The average sale price for a house in Clearbrook sits at $961,875, at roughly $557 per square foot. Only 4 houses sold recently, which is a thin number - thin enough that one or two deals can swing the average significantly.
The honest read here? We are above average in price but below average in momentum. That combination tells us Clearbrook houses are still commanding decent dollars, but the engine is not revving the way it was. The predicted value is already dipping below its own 3-month average, which is a signal worth watching.
Condos in Clearbrook are a different story. With an average sale price of $213,633 and a price per square foot of $220, we are sitting at the most affordable end of the condo market in all of Abbotsford - ranked 10 out of 10 for affordability. That is not a badge of honour for current owners. It means values have more ground to lose before buyers step in aggressively.
A -1.47% recent value change is not a crisis, but it is a nudge. Condo owners here should not assume the city's assessed value is telling them the full story - because right now, it really is not.
Here is the thing about your city assessment. It is a snapshot from the past. The city assessed 1,215 houses and 1,571 condos in Clearbrook this cycle, and those numbers are already stale the moment they are printed. The average assessed value for a house here is $1,145,939. The average assessed value for a condo is $358,107. Those figures sound reassuring - until you compare them to what the market is actually doing.
The HonestDoor Price for houses is $1,063,139 - that is 7.23% lower than the city's assessed value. For condos, the HonestDoor Price is $310,893 - a full 13.18% below the assessed value. That is not a rounding error. That is a meaningful gap between what the government thinks your place is worth and what a buyer would actually pay today.
The HonestDoor Price updates in real time, pulling from actual transaction data and current market signals. It is the real-world check against a static government number. If you are a Clearbrook homeowner and you have not looked at your HonestDoor Price recently, now is exactly the right time - because the gap between assessment and reality is wider than it has been.
If selling is on your radar, here is the straight talk. Clearbrook is not a hot market right now. It is a patient one. With only 8 house transactions and 24 condo transactions recorded in 2026 so far, buyer activity is modest. Neighbourhood growth is slightly negative year over year for both property types. You are not in a race-to-list situation.
That said, Clearbrook does hold some real advantages worth knowing before you price your home.
The risk for sellers right now is overpricing based on the city's assessed value. A house assessed at $1,145,939 that gets listed at or above that number will sit. The market is telling us $1,063,139 is closer to the real conversation. Price to that reality and you have a shot at a clean summer sale. Chase the assessment number and you will be doing price reductions by August.
Bottom line - check your HonestDoor Price before you call your agent. It is the number that starts the real conversation.
