If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs in Hockaday-Nestor, here's what's actually happening. The market isn't crashing and it isn't exploding - it's holding steady with some real upside signals worth paying attention to. Whether you own a house or a condo here, the numbers tell two slightly different stories, and both are worth knowing.
Our houses are doing something interesting. The average sale price sits at $1,305,000 with a price per square foot of around $828. That's solid. But the more telling number is the predicted market value of $1,320,498 - and it's trending up from the 3-month moving average of $1,311,174. That's the market saying prices have more room to move.
A growth rank of 3 out of 13 is not a small deal. That means Hockaday-Nestor houses are outpacing most of Coquitlam right now. Compare that to Oxford Heights next door where prices average $1,817,600 - we're the more accessible entry point into a strong-performing pocket of the city.
Here's something we don't talk about enough. Hockaday-Nestor condos rank number 1 in Coquitlam for average assessed value. Number one. The average HonestDoor Price is $770,208, which is 5.89% above the city's assessed value of $727,376. That gap matters - more on that in a second.
For context, nearby Town Centre condos are selling around $658,000. Ours are fetching $724,160. That's a meaningful premium, and buyers are paying it. The predicted value of $775,328 is also running ahead of Town Centre's predicted $623,467. We're not the cheapest option - we're the better one.
Here's the thing about your BC Assessment notice. It's a snapshot from July 1st of the previous year. By the time it lands in your mailbox, it's already old news. The market has moved on.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using actual sales data, current market signals, and what buyers are genuinely paying right now. For Hockaday-Nestor condo owners, that difference is nearly $43,000 - the HonestDoor Price is $770,208 versus the assessed value of $727,376. For house owners, the gap is smaller but the direction is the same - the real-world number is higher.
If you're making any financial decision based on your assessed value alone - whether that's refinancing, selling, or just knowing your net worth - you're working with a number that doesn't reflect today's market. Check your HonestDoor Price first. It's the real-world check your assessment can't give you.
Straight talk: this is not a bad time to list in Hockaday-Nestor.
For house sellers, a growth rank of 3 out of 13 in Coquitlam means buyers looking at this neighbourhood are seeing momentum. A predicted value of $1,320,498 trending upward gives you pricing confidence. You're not chasing the market - you're ahead of most of it.
For condo sellers, sitting at number 2 in price rank and number 1 in assessed value across all of Coquitlam is a strong story to tell. Buyers comparison-shopping against Town Centre condos will find yours priced higher - and the sales data shows they're still buying. That's the definition of pricing power.
The one thing to watch: both property types saw a slight dip in HonestDoor Price from the previous period - houses down 0.89%, condos down 0.66%. The market is taking a small breather. That doesn't mean panic. It means if selling is on your radar, sooner beats later while the growth momentum is still working in your favour.
Bottom line - Hockaday-Nestor is punching above its weight in Coquitlam right now. Know your real number, price it right, and this summer could work well for you.
