Dentville, Squamish - September 2026 Real Estate Report

Dentville Real Estate Check-In: Your Neighbour's Assessment Is Lying To You

If you own a home in Dentville and you've been glancing at your BC Assessment notice feeling pretty good about that $1,167,964 number - hold on. The real-world picture is a little different, and you deserve the straight version before you make any big moves this summer.

The Vibe Right Now

Dentville is a steady, established pocket of Squamish. We're not seeing a frenzy here, and we're not seeing a crash. What we are seeing is a market that's taking a breather - and the numbers back that up. With 557 assessed properties and neighbourhood growth sitting at 0.01% year over year, this is a community that holds its value without a lot of drama.

Houses: Affordable by Squamish Standards, But Watch the Trend

If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs in Dentville, here's what's actually happening with houses right now.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $1,132,657 - down 2.69% from the previous period
• Average assessed value: $1,167,964 - that's 3.02% higher than what the market is actually saying
• Average sale price (recent transactions): $785,000
• Price per square foot: around $630
• Predicted market value: $1,163,933 - slightly down from the 3-month moving average of $1,170,433
• Estimated monthly rent: $4,588 with a rental yield of 4.49%
• Only 1 house sold recently - transaction volume is thin

Here's the honest read on those numbers. Houses in Dentville rank 8 out of 8 for price among comparable Squamish neighbourhoods - meaning we are the most affordable option in the comparison set. That sounds like a deal, and for buyers it is. For sellers, it means you are competing on price, not prestige. Growth ranks 6 out of 11, which puts us in the below-average tier on the neighbourhood leaderboard. Not last place, but not leading the pack either.

Compare that to our neighbours. Valleycliffe houses are averaging $1,652,894 on HonestDoor. Northridge is at $1,451,438. Even the broader Squamish average sits at $1,157,930. Dentville houses are genuinely the entry point into this market - which is a real selling point if you frame it right.

Condos: A Different Story - And a Better One

This is where Dentville surprises us. Condo values here are actually moving in the right direction.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $1,176,527 - down only 0.76% from the previous period
• Predicted market value: $1,185,568 - this is increasing compared to the 3-month moving average of $1,147,122
• Recent value change: up 3.15%
• Estimated monthly rent: $4,040 with a rental yield of 3.42%
• Airbnb rank in Squamish: 3rd - that is a strong short-term rental position
• Airbnb income potential: around $200 per night or $201 monthly estimated income

Dentville condos rank 5 out of 8 for growth in Squamish - below average, but the 3-month trend is pointing up. That 3.15% recent value change is real momentum. And that Airbnb rank of 3rd in all of Squamish? That tells us visitors want to be here. For condo owners thinking about short-term rental income, Dentville has a genuine edge over most of the city.

Worth noting - nearby condo comps look very different. Valleycliffe condos average $549,966 on HonestDoor. Northridge sits at $401,427. Squamish overall is at $1,049,922. Dentville condos are priced well above the surrounding neighbourhood averages, which signals that what we have here is a different product - likely larger or newer units. Know what you own before you price it.

The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Assessment Right Now

Your BC Assessment is a snapshot from July 1st of last year. It does not know what happened in the market last month. It does not know that house values in Dentville have dipped 2.69% recently. It is a static number produced by a government formula - and right now, it is running about 3% higher than what the market is actually willing to pay for a Dentville house.

The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using actual transaction data, current market signals, and neighbourhood-level trends. Think of your assessment as last season's weather forecast. The HonestDoor Price is what it's actually doing outside right now. If you are making a decision about selling, refinancing, or even just understanding your net worth - use the number that reflects today, not last July.

For Dentville houses specifically, that gap between the $1,167,964 assessment and the $1,132,657 HonestDoor Price is a $35,307 difference. That is not a rounding error. That is real money to get right before you list.

The So What - Thinking About Selling This Summer?

Here is the plain-language version for anyone weighing a summer sale in Dentville.

• House sellers: You are in the most affordable tier in Squamish right now. That is your pitch to buyers - but price it sharp. The market is not rewarding wishful thinking. With only 3 transactions recorded in 2026 so far, competition among buyers is limited. Thin volume cuts both ways.
• Condo sellers: Your timing is actually decent. Values are trending up on the 3-month chart, and that 3rd-place Airbnb ranking gives you a story to tell investors and lifestyle buyers. Lead with the income potential.
• Everyone: Do not list based on your assessment. Pull your HonestDoor Price first. It is the reality check that saves you from overpricing yourself into a stale listing - or underpricing and leaving money on the table.

Dentville is not the flashiest neighbourhood on the Squamish leaderboard right now. But it is real, it is established, and for the right buyer it is exactly what they are looking for. Know your numbers, price honestly, and you will find your person.
