If you live in Immel McMillan and you're still going off your last BC Assessment notice, you might be working with a number that's already out of date. Here's the straight story on what's happening with prices in our neighbourhood - and what it means for your wallet.
We're in a market that's taking a breather. Values aren't collapsing, but they're not climbing either. Here's how the two main property types stack up right now:
That growth rank stings a little, we won't sugarcoat it. Houses here have seen values shift by -1.71% recently, and the predicted value is sitting below the 3-month average. The silver lining? We're still talking about homes in the high $900s to just over $1M. That's real money, and the rental income story - $4,131 a month with a 4.73% yield - is solid for anyone thinking about holding rather than selling.
Compare us to the neighbours: Historic Downtown is sitting at $1,117,731, Whatcom at $1,254,229, and Hazelwood at $1,058,882. All three are pricier than us - and all three are also declining faster. So while we're at the bottom of the growth leaderboard, the neighbourhoods above us in price are losing ground quicker. That's worth knowing.
Condos here are a different story from houses. Yes, the HonestDoor Price is down 1.50%, but the predicted value is actually creeping above the 3-month moving average - a small but real sign of stability. Our condo sale prices are also beating Historic Downtown's recent sold prices ($350,000 vs. $289,400 there). That's a quiet win for us. The rental yield at 3.90% is moderate but consistent, and the Airbnb rank of 9 in Abbotsford means short-term rental demand here is decent.
Here's the thing about your BC Assessment: it's a snapshot taken months ago, using data that's even older than that. It doesn't know what happened on your street last week. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling in actual recent sales and current market signals.
Right now in Immel McMillan, the average assessed value for houses is $978,328. The HonestDoor Price is $975,697 - about 0.27% lower. That gap might seem small, but in a market that's been moving downward recently, relying on the assessment could mean you're pricing your home based on yesterday's news. If you're a buyer, that same gap could mean you're overpaying if you anchor to the assessment number.
With 2,762 properties assessed in this neighbourhood, there's a lot of real estate here. The HonestDoor Price gives every one of those owners a live read on where things actually stand - not where they stood six months ago.
If you're a homeowner in Immel McMillan weighing a summer sale, here's the honest take:
Bottom line: this isn't a panic moment, but it's not a "wait and see" moment either. The data says price it right, price it now, and use a live number - not a government document from last January - to make that call.
