Hockaday-Nestor, Coquitlam - August 2026 Real Estate Report

Hockaday-Nestor, Coquitlam: Your Neighbour Probably Doesn't Know This Yet

If you own a home in Hockaday-Nestor and you're still looking at your BC Assessment notice to figure out what your place is worth, you're working with old information. Here's the real picture, right now.

The Vibe: What's Actually Happening on Our Streets

Let's break it down by property type, because houses and condos are telling two different stories here.

Houses

We're sitting in an interesting spot. The average HonestDoor Price for a house in Hockaday-Nestor is $1,304,725 - basically neck-and-neck with the average assessed value of $1,304,054. That's a gap of less than $700. When those two numbers are that close, it tells you the market isn't running hot or cold - it's measured.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $1,304,725
• Average assessed value: $1,304,054
• Recent sale price average: $888,000
• Price per square foot: $712
• Predicted market value: $1,308,724
• Estimated monthly rent: $5,024
• Rental yield: 4.27%
• Properties assessed this year: 1,871

The predicted value of $1,308,724 is already climbing past the 3-month moving average of $1,302,962. That's a quiet upward nudge. And here's the stat that should make us proud - our house growth rate ranks 1 out of 13 neighbourhoods in Coquitlam. That's top of the leaderboard. Oxford Heights next door is slightly pricier at $1,323,904, but we're outpacing them on growth trajectory.

Condos

This is where it gets really interesting for us. The average HonestDoor Price for a condo here is $771,167 - and that's 6.02% higher than the average assessed value of $727,376. That's a $43,791 gap. If you own a condo in Hockaday-Nestor and you're basing decisions on your assessment, you're underselling yourself.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $771,167
• Average assessed value: $727,376
• Recent sale price average: $679,500
• Price per square foot: $711
• Predicted market value: $770,208
• Estimated monthly rent: $3,433
• Rental yield: 3.45%
• Airbnb rank in Coquitlam: 4th
• Properties assessed this year: 1,359

Our condos rank 1st in Coquitlam for average assessed value and 4th for Airbnb income potential. We're also beating nearby Town Centre on sale price - our average of $679,500 versus their $586,500. Condo growth ranks 4th out of 13 neighbourhoods. That's solidly above average on the leaderboard.

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

Here's the thing about BC Assessment - it's a snapshot from July 1st of the previous year. By the time that notice lands in your mailbox, the market has already moved. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling from actual sales data and current market signals.

For condo owners in Hockaday-Nestor, that difference is $43,791. That's not a rounding error - that's a real gap between what the government says your place is worth and what the market is actually saying. For house owners, the two numbers are nearly identical right now, which is actually useful information on its own - it means the assessment is unusually accurate at this moment, but that won't last forever.

Checking your HonestDoor Price takes two minutes and gives you the real-world number - not the number a government formula calculated 12 months ago.

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

Here's the honest read if you're weighing a summer sale in Hockaday-Nestor.

The market is taking a breather - neighbourhood growth dipped 0.07% year over year for houses and 0.05% for condos. Values have nudged down slightly in the short term. But the predicted values are already ticking back up past their 3-month averages. That's not a red flag - that's a market finding its floor.

There were only 6 house transactions and 15 condo transactions recorded in 2026 so far. Low volume means each sale carries more weight. Price your place right and you're not competing with a flood of listings.

If you own a house, you're sitting on a property that ranks first in growth across Coquitlam neighbourhoods. That's a real selling point - not just a number. If you own a condo, your place is worth meaningfully more than your assessment suggests, and buyers in this range are still active.

Bottom line - if you've been thinking about listing, this summer isn't a bad window. But pricing it right from day one matters more than ever in a low-volume market. Start with your HonestDoor Price, not last year's assessment notice.
