    Fairview, Vancouver: Your Home Is Worth More Than The City Thinks

    If you have been glancing at your latest property assessment and feeling a little underwhelmed, here is the real number you should be looking at. Fairview is quietly one of the stronger-performing pockets in Vancouver right now, and most homeowners here have no idea how big the gap is between what the city says their place is worth and what the actual market says.

    The Vibe: What Is Actually Happening on Our Streets

    Let us break it down by property type, because houses and condos are telling two pretty different stories right now.

    Houses in Fairview

    If you own a house here, you are sitting in a strong spot. The average sale price is coming in around $788,000 with a price per square foot of $672. The predicted market value is $1,650,418, which is trending up from the 3-month moving average of $1,637,624. That upward direction matters - it means momentum is on your side heading into summer.

    The growth story is the real headline for houses. Fairview ranks 2 out of 23 comparable neighbourhoods in Vancouver for growth rate. That puts us near the top of the leaderboard. On price rank, we sit at 20 out of 22, which means houses here are still among the more accessible options in the city. That combination - strong growth, relatively affordable entry - is exactly what buyers are hunting for right now.

    • Predicted market value: $1,650,418
    • 3-month moving average: $1,637,624
    • Recent value change: up 1.80%
    • Price per square foot: $672
    • Estimated monthly rent: $5,825
    • Rental yield: 4.13%
    • Growth rank: 2 out of 23 in Vancouver

    Condos in Fairview

    Condo owners, your numbers are moving too. The average sale price is $1,102,500 at $938 per square foot, which edges out nearby West End condos at $1,095,157. The predicted market value sits at $1,630,404, up from a 3-month moving average of $1,629,142. Recent value change is 0.29%, which is modest but still pointing in the right direction.

    On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Fairview condos rank 9 out of 22 for growth and 5 out of 22 for price - meaning we are above average in both momentum and value. The Airbnb rank of 8 in Vancouver is also worth noting if you are thinking about short-term rental potential, with an estimated $266 per night.

    • Predicted market value: $1,630,404
    • 3-month moving average: $1,629,142
    • Recent value change: up 0.29%
    • Average sale price: $1,102,500
    • Price per square foot: $938
    • Estimated monthly rent: $5,332
    • Rental yield: 2.81%
    • Growth rank: 9 out of 22 in Vancouver
    • Price rank: 5 out of 22 in Vancouver

    The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Is the Number That Actually Matters

    Here is the thing about your BC Assessment notice. It is a snapshot from July 1 of the previous year. The market has kept moving since then, and in Fairview, it has moved up.

    For houses, the average assessed value is $1,420,737. The average HonestDoor Price is $1,637,828. That is a gap of over $217,000 - or 15.28% higher than what the city has on file. For condos, the gap is even more striking. The average assessed value is $937,470, while the HonestDoor Price is $1,622,997. That is 73.13% higher than the assessed value, and it has increased 5.55% from the previous period.

    The HonestDoor Price pulls from real-time market signals, not a calendar date from last summer. If you are making any financial decision - refinancing, selling, even just benchmarking your net worth - the HonestDoor Price is the real-world check you need.

    The So What: Should You Sell in Fairview This Summer?

    If you are thinking about listing, the conditions are worth paying attention to. Houses are ranked near the top of Vancouver for growth, and the predicted value is trending upward. Buyers looking for relative value compared to Kitsilano ($2,514,175 average HonestDoor Price) or even Kitsilano's neighbour Downtown ($1,854,624) are going to land on Fairview as a smart alternative.

    Transaction volume is still tight - 1 house sale and 2 condo sales recorded so far in 2026. That low supply is not a warning sign. In a market with limited inventory, well-priced listings get attention. Sellers are not competing against a flood of other listings right now.

    The neighbourhood growth rate is down a slight 0.02% year over year, so we are not in a runaway market. But with a house growth rank of 2 out of 23 and a condo price rank of 5 out of 22, Fairview is holding its own better than most of the city. If your plan is to sell before the fall slowdown, this summer window is worth taking seriously.

    Bottom line - check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else. The city's number and your actual market value are not the same thing right now, and in Fairview, that difference is significant.
