Hammond, Maple Ridge - September 2026 Real Estate Report

Hammond, Maple Ridge: Your Home Is Worth More Than the City Thinks

If you have been watching the "For Sale" signs on your street and wondering what is actually going on with prices in Hammond, here is the straight story. The market is holding steady, your assessed value is likely leaving money on the table, and there are a few things worth knowing before you make any moves this summer.

The Vibe: Houses vs. Condos in Hammond

For those of us in houses, the picture is pretty solid. The average sale price is sitting at $865,100, with a price per square foot around $725. Five homes sold recently - steady, not spectacular, but consistent. The bigger number to watch is the predicted market value of $1,044,689. That figure is slightly off its 3-month moving average of $1,050,483, so values are taking a small breather, but nothing alarming. Property values have nudged up 0.26% recently, and on the neighbourhood leaderboard, Hammond houses rank 4th out of 23 in Maple Ridge for growth. That puts us near the top of the pack. On affordability, we rank 16th out of 19 - meaning Hammond is one of the more accessible entry points in Maple Ridge for house buyers.

On the rental side, houses here pull an estimated $4,302 per month with a rental yield of 4.66%. That is a moderate but real return for anyone thinking about holding rather than selling.

For those of us in condos, the story is a bit more mixed. One condo sold recently at an average of $380,000, or about $534 per square foot. The predicted market value is $472,128, which is actually creeping up past its 3-month moving average of $467,943 - a small but positive signal. That said, condo values have dipped 1.81% recently, so this segment is clearly taking a breather. On the leaderboard, Hammond condos rank 7th out of 18 in Maple Ridge for growth - above average - but rank 3rd out of 3 on price, making them the most affordable condo option in the comparison set. Rental potential sits at $2,397 per month with a 3.89% yield.

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

Here is the thing most Hammond homeowners do not realize. The city's assessed value for houses here averages $1,025,340. That number is calculated once a year using data that is already months old by the time it lands in your mailbox. The average HonestDoor Price for Hammond houses is $1,056,933 - that is 3.08% higher than the city's figure, and it has gone up 1.17% since the last period. In real dollars, that gap is roughly $31,593 sitting uncounted on your assessed value.

For condos, the HonestDoor Price averages $466,246. That figure has pulled back 1.25% recently, which is exactly the kind of real-time signal a static annual assessment will never give you. If you are a condo owner thinking about timing a sale, knowing that the live market estimate is softening is genuinely useful information - and you will not find it on your tax notice.

Think of the HonestDoor Price as the real-world check against a number the government set many months ago. Markets move. Assessments do not keep up. The HonestDoor Price does.

• Average assessed value (houses): $1,025,340
• Average HonestDoor Price (houses): $1,056,933 - up 1.17%
• Gap above assessment: 3.08% (roughly $31,593)
• Average HonestDoor Price (condos): $466,246 - down 1.25%
• 1,883 properties assessed in Hammond this year

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

If you own a house in Hammond and are weighing a summer sale, the fundamentals are working in your favour. Your HonestDoor Price is running above the city's assessment, the neighbourhood is ranking near the top of Maple Ridge for growth, and 12 transactions have already moved through the area in 2026. Buyer activity is real. Compared to nearby neighbourhoods, West Maple Ridge and Walnut Grove are pricier, which means Hammond still looks like relative value to buyers shopping the broader Maple Ridge market.

If you own a condo, be a little more patient. Values have dipped recently and the market is quieter - one sale is a thin sample. The HonestDoor Price is still above the recent sale average, which is a decent cushion, but this is not the moment to rush. Watch the next 60 days and see if that predicted value continues its small climb back up.

Either way, the single best move right now is to check your HonestDoor Price before you call an agent or set a list price. It is the most current read on what buyers are actually paying - not what the city guessed your home was worth last July.

• Hammond house growth ranks 4th out of 23 neighbourhoods in Maple Ridge - a strong position heading into summer
• Airbnb potential: roughly $215 per night for houses, $117 per night for condos

• Neighbourhood growth is essentially flat (-0.03% year over year) - steady, not surging, but not falling either
