If you own a house in Handsworth and you have not looked at your HonestDoor Price lately, now is the time. The city's assessment says your home is worth $2,676,403 on average. The HonestDoor Price says $2,715,988. That is a $39,585 gap - and that gap matters when you are deciding whether to list, refinance, or just figure out where you actually stand.
Let's break down what is happening for us here in Handsworth right now.
Houses: The market is taking a breather. The average sale price sits at $2,315,000, essentially flat from last month, with only 1 sale recorded. That is a quiet month. But here is the thing - the predicted market value for houses is $2,791,243, which is actually climbing above the 3-month moving average of $2,736,241. Price per square foot is holding at $1,478. On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Handsworth houses rank 13 out of 54 for growth in North Vancouver - that puts us solidly above average. For price, we rank 10 out of 47. We are not the cheapest option on the North Shore, and that is not a bad thing.
Condos: This is where we need to be honest. Condo values have dropped 4.28% recently, and on the growth leaderboard, Handsworth condos rank 44 out of 48 in North Vancouver. That is near the bottom. The HonestDoor Price for condos is $1,167,433 - up 4.24% from the previous period, which is a positive signal - but the recent growth trend is a yellow flag. The predicted value of $1,120,000 is slightly above the 3-month moving average of $1,110,922, so there is a floor forming. Rental income potential is $4,560 per month with a 2.64% yield, which is moderate at best.
Here is the problem with the city's assessed value. It is a snapshot from months ago, built on a formula that does not know your renovated kitchen or the fact that your street just got quieter. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling from actual sales data right now. For Handsworth houses, that means a live number of $2,715,988 - 1.48% higher than what the city has on file. That is not a small rounding error. That is real money sitting on the table.
If you are a condo owner, the HonestDoor Price is even more important right now. With recent value changes of -4.28%, you want to know your actual position today - not what the city assessed you at before the market shifted. Knowing your real number lets you make a real decision.
For house sellers, the setup is actually decent. Inventory is thin - only 2 transactions recorded in 2026 so far across 620 assessed properties. Low supply means less competition for you. The predicted value is trending up, and Handsworth still commands a premium over nearby Canyon Heights ($2,761,429 predicted vs. our $2,791,243). Capilano and Cleveland are both cheaper. Buyers who want Handsworth have to pay for Handsworth.
The short-term rental picture also adds context. Handsworth ranks 4th in North Vancouver for Airbnb potential, with an average of $430 per night. That is a selling point for buyers who are running the numbers on income potential.
For condo sellers, summer 2025 calls for a clear-eyed approach. The growth rank of 44 out of 48 tells us this segment is under pressure. That does not mean you cannot sell - it means you need to price sharp and know your real number going in. Pull your HonestDoor Price before you call an agent. It will save you a conversation based on stale data.
Bottom line: Handsworth is still one of the stronger addresses on the North Shore. Houses are holding value and trending up. Condos need watching. Either way, the HonestDoor Price is the number you want in your hand before you make any move.
