If you've been glancing at your BC Assessment notice and feeling pretty good about yourself, hold on. The real-world numbers are telling a slightly different story - and knowing the gap could save you from a costly misstep this summer.
Heritage Mountain is one of Port Moody's pricier addresses, and the data backs that up. We rank 2nd out of all Port Moody neighbourhoods for average assessed value. But here's the thing - assessed value and what a buyer will actually hand you are two different numbers right now.
Our houses are performing well. The predicted market value sits at $1,762,068, which is climbing past the 3-month moving average of $1,752,777. That 1.52% recent price change puts us at rank 1 out of 16 neighbourhoods in Port Moody for growth. That's the neighbourhood leaderboard, and we're sitting at the top.
For context, our average sale price of $1,650,000 is actually ahead of nearby Noons Creek at $1,568,000. And our predicted value of $1,762,068 beats Noons Creek's $1,722,661. We're holding our own against the most expensive pocket in the area.
The condo picture is a bit more nuanced. The HonestDoor Price for condos here is $781,980 - and that's down 6.95% from the previous period. That's not a cliff, but it's not nothing either. The good news is the predicted market value is $840,400, which is above the 3-month moving average of $828,700, and the recent 2.61% value change ranks us 2nd out of 15 comparable neighbourhoods in Port Moody. So the trajectory is pointing up, even if the recent dip stings a little.
Here's the honest truth about BC Assessment. That number is calculated using data from July 1st of the previous year. It's already stale by the time it lands in your mailbox. The average assessed value for Heritage Mountain houses is $1,808,602 - but the average HonestDoor Price is $1,737,399. That's a gap of nearly $71,000, and it's 3.94% lower than what the city's paperwork says your home is worth.
If you price your home based on the assessment, you might sit on the market longer than you want to. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling from actual market activity. It's the number that reflects what a buyer is thinking today - not what a government formula calculated last summer.
With 903 properties assessed in Heritage Mountain and neighbourhood growth at -0.04% year over year, the market is taking a breather. That makes accurate, current pricing more important than ever.
If you're a homeowner in Heritage Mountain and you're eyeing a summer sale, here's the straight talk.
Bottom line - Heritage Mountain is still one of Port Moody's top addresses. The growth ranking proves that. But the spread between what the city says your home is worth and what the market will actually pay is real. Check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else.
