If you own a home in Douglas and you have not looked at your numbers lately, now is the time. The city's assessment says one thing. The actual market says something a little different - and for most of us here, that difference is money on the table.
The short version: Douglas is holding steady in a market that is clearly taking a breather. We are not in freefall, but we are not on a rocket ship either. Here is how houses and condos are stacking up differently right now.
If you have been watching the "For Sale" signs on the street, here is what is actually happening. Five houses sold recently - essentially the same pace as last month. The average sale price sits at $1,217,300, with a price per square foot around $677. Those numbers have not moved much, which tells us the market is in a holding pattern, not a collapse.
The HonestDoor Price for houses is $1,429,776 right now, which is running slightly ahead of the 3-month moving average of $1,438,471. Values have dipped about 0.75% recently, so we are not seeing explosive growth - but we are also not seeing anything alarming. Think of it as the market catching its breath.
On the leaderboard, Douglas houses rank 13 out of 41 neighbourhoods in Surrey for growth. That puts us solidly above average - not leading the pack, but well ahead of the middle of the field. For price, we rank 24 out of 45, which lands us in the below-average range for Surrey pricing. Translation: Douglas is not the most expensive address in Surrey, which actually makes it attractive to a wider pool of buyers.
Here is the interesting story. While houses are cooling slightly, Douglas condos are actually moving in the opposite direction. The HonestDoor Price for condos is $1,074,607 - and that number is climbing above the 3-month moving average of $1,044,873. Values have jumped 3.17% recently. That is real momentum.
On the Surrey leaderboard, Douglas condos rank 6 out of 44 neighbourhoods for growth. That is top-tier performance. If you own a condo here, you are sitting in one of the fastest-growing segments in the entire city right now.
Compare that to nearby condo markets - Grandview condos average $449,490, Hazelmere sits at $778,756, and Sunnyside comes in at $571,286. Douglas condos at $1,043,600 are in a completely different price category. That gap is significant, and it reflects a different type of product and buyer in this pocket of Surrey.
Here is the thing about your city assessment. It is calculated once a year, based on data that is already months old by the time it lands in your mailbox. The market does not wait for the city to catch up.
The average assessed value in Douglas sits at $1,398,576. The average HonestDoor Price is $1,415,497 - that is $16,921 higher, and it is updated in real time. For condos, that gap is even more striking. The HonestDoor Price is tracking well above where the static assessment would put you.
If you are making any financial decision - refinancing, selling, even just understanding your net worth - using a number that is already stale is working against you. The HonestDoor Price is the real-world check. It pulls from actual transaction data, current market signals, and live comparables. It is what a buyer would actually pay today, not what a government formula calculated last July.
With 1,228 properties assessed in Douglas this year and only 13 transactions recorded in 2026, the city has very little fresh data to work with. Your HonestDoor Price fills that gap.
If you own a house in Douglas and you are thinking about selling, the honest answer is: the window is open, but it is not wide open. Values are slightly off their recent peak, and the market is moving carefully. That said, Douglas ranks above average in Surrey for growth, and buyers looking for a more accessible entry point into the Surrey market - compared to pricier neighbours like Ocean Park at $1,588,817 or Grandview at $1,550,711 - are still looking at Douglas.
If you own a condo, the picture is more compelling right now. Values are rising, you are ranked 6th in all of Surrey for growth, and your Airbnb potential ranks 5th in the city. That combination of data is a strong conversation starter with any serious buyer.
Either way, the first step is knowing your real number. Not the city's number from last year - your actual HonestDoor Price today. That is where the conversation starts.
