If you have been glancing at your latest property assessment and feeling pretty good about yourself, hold on. The real-world numbers are telling a different story right now - and knowing the gap could save you from making a costly mistake this summer.
Let us break it down by property type, because houses and condos are moving in different directions here in Glenbrooke South.
If you own a house in Glenbrooke South, the city has you assessed at an average of $1,293,741. But the market is not agreeing with that number right now. The average HonestDoor Price sits at $1,236,064 - that is 4.46% below the assessed value. Values have dipped 1.47% recently, and the 3-month moving average of $1,258,270 is trending above the current predicted value of $1,240,932. The market is taking a breather.
That growth rank is a number worth sitting with. On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Glenbrooke South houses are sitting near the bottom - 12th out of 14. We are not in last place, but we are not winning any races right now either. Nearby Victory Heights is also slowing down at -0.02% growth, so this is not just a Glenbrooke South problem. It is a broader New Westminster house market story.
The condo picture is similar. The city assessed the average Glenbrooke South condo at $637,005, but the HonestDoor Price comes in at $586,649 - a gap of 7.91%. That is a meaningful difference. Values have slipped 0.48% recently, and the predicted value of $589,091 is sitting just below the 3-month moving average of $591,666.
On the condo leaderboard, we are 13th out of 15. That is bottom-tier growth territory. The one bright spot - our average condo sale price of $511,167 is actually edging out Queens Park ($505,000) and Victory Heights ($491,500). So while growth is slow, we are holding our own on price relative to neighbours.
Here is the thing about your city assessment - it is a snapshot from the past. It does not update when the market shifts, and right now the market in Glenbrooke South is shifting. The HonestDoor Price is a live, real-time estimate that reflects what buyers are actually doing today, not what they were doing when the assessor last ran the numbers.
For houses, the gap between the assessed value and the HonestDoor Price is $57,677. For condos, it is $50,356. If you are using your assessment to make decisions about selling, refinancing, or even just understanding your net worth, you could be working with a number that is off by tens of thousands of dollars. That is not a small rounding error - that is real money.
Check your HonestDoor Price now. It is the real-world check that your tax notice simply cannot give you.
Straight talk - this is not the hottest seller's market Glenbrooke South has ever seen. With only 6 house transactions and 16 condo transactions recorded in 2026 so far, buyer activity is quiet. Growth is ranked near the bottom of the New Westminster leaderboard for both property types. Values are drifting slightly downward.
That does not mean do not sell. It means price it right from day one. Sellers who anchor to their assessed value and list too high are going to sit. Buyers in this market know the numbers - and they have access to the same HonestDoor data you do.
If you are a house seller, the conversation starts around that $1,236,064 HonestDoor Price, not the $1,293,741 on your assessment notice. If you are a condo owner, the market is transacting closer to $511,167 on average - well below both the assessed value and the HonestDoor Price. Pricing with clear eyes is the move this summer.
The good news - Queens Park is sitting right next door with house prices around $2,349,460 and condo prices near $1,060,880. Glenbrooke South offers real value for buyers who want into New Westminster without paying Queens Park prices. That is your selling story. Use it.
