Hammond, Maple Ridge - July 2026 Real Estate Report

Hammond, Maple Ridge: Your Home Is Worth More Than the City Thinks - But the Market Is Cooling Off

If you have been watching the "For Sale" signs in Hammond lately, here is what is actually happening. The city's assessment says one thing. The real world says something a little different. And if you are thinking about making a move this summer, you need to know the gap between those two numbers.

The Vibe: What Is Happening With Houses and Condos Right Now

Let's break it down by property type, because houses and condos are telling two very different stories in our neighbourhood right now.

Houses in Hammond

The house market here is taking a breather. Values have dipped about 1% recently, and the predicted market value of $1,066,045 is sliding below the 3-month moving average of $1,075,118. That is not a cliff - it is a slow exhale. Sales activity is quiet, with just 1 house sold last month. Average sale prices are sitting around $964,900, at roughly $538 per square foot.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $1,043,189
• Average Assessed Value: $1,025,169
• HonestDoor Price vs. Assessment: 1.76% higher
• Recent Price Change: -2.14%
• Average Sale Price: $964,900
• Price Per Square Foot: $538
• Estimated Monthly Rent: $4,301
• Rental Yield: 4.63% - moderate but real
• Airbnb Potential: $214 per night
• Neighbourhood Leaderboard - Growth Rank: 18 out of 24 in Maple Ridge (below average)
• Neighbourhood Leaderboard - Price Rank: 5 out of 18 in Maple Ridge (above average)

Here is the honest read on that leaderboard position. We rank in the bottom half for growth right now, but we sit in the top third for price. That means Hammond houses hold their value even when momentum slows. We are not the cheapest option in Maple Ridge, and that is actually a good thing for anyone who already owns here.

For context, West Maple Ridge houses are averaging $1,132,031 and Walnut Grove is at $1,312,503. South Alouette is in a different league at $1,846,503. Hammond is the more accessible entry point into this part of Maple Ridge - and that keeps buyer interest alive even in a slower market.

Condos in Hammond

Condos are a different story - and honestly, a more interesting one right now. While houses are dipping, the HonestDoor Price for Hammond condos jumped 6.65% from the previous period, landing at $480,849. That is a real signal worth paying attention to.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $480,849
• Recent HonestDoor Price Change: +6.65%
• Predicted Market Value: $450,850
• 3-Month Moving Average: $466,192
• Average Sale Price: $380,000
• Price Per Square Foot: $534
• Estimated Monthly Rent: $2,432
• Rental Yield: 3.93% - moderate
• Airbnb Potential: $121 per night
• Neighbourhood Leaderboard - Price Rank: 2 out of 2 in Maple Ridge (most affordable)
• Neighbourhood Leaderboard - Growth Rank: 15 out of 18 in Maple Ridge (bottom performers)

We are the most affordable condo market in Maple Ridge. That is a double-edged sword. It means buyers can get in here cheaper than almost anywhere else in the city - but it also means we are not leading the pack on appreciation right now. The 6.65% HonestDoor Price jump is encouraging, but the predicted value is still sliding below the 3-month average. Worth watching closely over the next quarter.

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

Here is the thing about your city assessment. It is a snapshot from the past. The BC Assessment process uses data that is already months old by the time it lands in your mailbox. In a market that is moving - even slowly - that number can be stale before you even read it.

The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. It pulls from actual transaction data, current market signals, and comparable sales happening right now. For Hammond houses, that means your HonestDoor Price is already running $18,020 higher than the average city assessment - a 1.76% gap that could matter a lot if you are pricing a listing, refinancing, or just trying to understand what your biggest asset is actually worth today.

Do not wait for next year's assessment to tell you what your home is worth. Check your HonestDoor Price now. It is the real-world number, not the government's best guess from six months ago.

The "So What?" - Thinking About Selling This Summer?

If you own a house in Hammond and you are thinking about listing this summer, here is the straight talk. The market is not on fire, but it is not falling apart either. You are sitting in a neighbourhood that ranks above average for price in Maple Ridge, which means buyers looking in this area see Hammond as a legitimate option - not a compromise.

The window to sell at peak prices may be narrowing slightly. Values are down about 1% recently and the trend line is pointing modestly lower. That does not mean panic - it means do not wait another six months hoping for a big rebound that the data is not currently promising.

For condo owners, the calculus is a bit trickier. You are in the most affordable segment of the Maple Ridge condo market, which is great for attracting buyers but means less pricing power on your end. The 6.65% HonestDoor Price increase is a positive sign, but with growth ranking 15th out of 18 neighbourhoods, this is not a market where sitting and waiting is likely to reward you.

• Selling a house this summer - price it sharp and move quickly. The above-average price rank works in your favour.
• Selling a condo - lean into the affordability story. Hammond is the most accessible condo market in Maple Ridge. That is your pitch to buyers.
• Holding and renting - house rental yields at 4.63% are decent. With average rents at $4,301 per month, the numbers work if you are a patient landlord.
• Check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything. It is the only number in this market that is actually current.

Hammond is a solid, established part of Maple Ridge. We are not the flashiest neighbourhood on the leaderboard right now, but we hold value and we attract real buyers. Know your numbers, price it right, and you will be fine.
