If you have been glancing at your latest property assessment and wondering if that number is the whole story - it is not. East Camble is sitting in an interesting spot right now, and the gap between what the city says your place is worth and what the market actually says is worth paying attention to.
Let us break it down by property type, because the two stories here are pretty different.
If you own a house in East Camble, the market is steady but not setting any records. Here is the snapshot:
On the neighbourhood leaderboard, East Camble houses rank 12 out of 15 for growth in Richmond. That puts us in the below-average tier for momentum right now. Price rank sits at 10 out of 13 - so we are not the cheapest, but we are not commanding top-of-market prices either. The market is taking a breather here. Values are not falling off a cliff, but they are not racing ahead either.
Compare us to the neighbours: Bridgeport houses average $1,525,219 and West Camble sits at $1,478,263. Both are pricier than East Camble, and both are also declining slightly faster in growth. So while we are trailing on price, we are not the worst performer on the block.
This is where things get genuinely interesting. Condo owners in East Camble, pay close attention:
Here is the leaderboard stat that stands out: East Camble condos rank 1st out of 15 neighbourhoods in Richmond for growth. That is a top performer badge, even while short-term values have dipped slightly. Price rank is 10 out of 13, so we are still priced below average relative to the rest of Richmond - which actually makes us look attractive to buyers who are being priced out elsewhere.
Nearby condos in Bridgeport ($642,723) and West Camble ($636,263) are both cheaper than East Camble. That is a flip from the house market. Our condos are commanding a premium over the immediate neighbours.
Here is the honest truth about property assessments in BC. The city calculates them once a year using data that is already months old by the time it lands in your mailbox. It is a rearview mirror number. It does not know what sold on your street last month. It does not factor in current buyer demand or what a motivated purchaser would actually pay today.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using actual market signals. For East Camble house owners, that means a number that is 1.24% higher than the assessed value - roughly $17,771 more than the city gives you credit for. For condo owners, the gap is massive: the HonestDoor Price of $845,022 is 62.78% above the assessed value of $519,115. If you are making any financial decision - refinancing, selling, even just understanding your net worth - using the assessed value alone is leaving serious money on the table.

If you own a house and are thinking about listing this summer, the market is not working against you - but it is not doing you any favours either. Values are up 1.49% recently and the predicted price of $1,454,951 is trending above the 3-month average. That is a mild tailwind. With only 8 transactions in 2026 so far, inventory is thin, which means a well-priced listing gets attention. The window is open, but do not expect a bidding war frenzy. Price it right using your HonestDoor Price, not the assessed value, and you stand a solid chance of a clean sale.
If you own a condo, the short-term dip of 1.03% is worth watching, but the bigger picture is that East Camble condos rank first in Richmond for growth. Buyers looking for value relative to Bridgeport and West Camble are going to notice that our condos are competitively positioned. The 3-month moving average is softening slightly, so if you are thinking of selling, sooner is probably better than waiting to see if that trend reverses.
Either way, the move right now is to get your HonestDoor Price, understand the real gap between what the city assessed and what buyers will actually pay, and make your decision from there. That is the number that matters this summer.
