If you live on this side of Paradise, here is what is actually happening with property values. We are seeing two very different stories depending on whether you own a house or a condo - and both are worth paying attention to.
The average HonestDoor Price for a house in Karwood Estates sits at $463,877, up 0.32% from the previous period. That is not a headline-grabbing jump, but slow and steady in this market is a good thing. The predicted market value is $462,386, and here is the number that really matters - that figure is climbing above the 3-month moving average of $448,403. Values are trending in the right direction.
That growth rank is worth framing properly. Out of 8 comparable neighbourhoods in Paradise, Karwood Estates houses land at number 3. We are in the top half of the leaderboard, sitting above average. For anyone who bought here a few years ago, that is validation. For anyone thinking about buying, it means this area is not being overlooked.
On the rental side, a 5.70% yield is genuinely strong. If you have ever thought about turning your property into an income tool - whether long-term or through Airbnb - the numbers here support that conversation.
The condo picture is more interesting. The average HonestDoor Price is $596,836, which is up a striking 27.61% from the previous period. That is a big move. But the predicted market value right now is $467,700, and that figure is sitting below the 3-month moving average of $665,536. Values have shifted by -22.26% recently.
What does that gap mean for us condo owners? It means the market is recalibrating after a strong run. The Airbnb rank of 2nd in all of Paradise is a real bright spot though - if you own a condo here and are not thinking about short-term rental income, that number deserves a second look. At $146 per night, this is one of the most attractive short-term rental spots in the city.
Here is a quick read on what is happening around us.
For condos, Donovan Terrace is actually sitting above us at $608,100, while Valley Ridge comes in well below at $297,717. Karwood Estates condos at $596,836 are holding their own in that comparison.
Here is the thing about your city assessment - it is a snapshot from the past. It gets updated on a schedule, not in real time. The HonestDoor Price pulls in current market data and updates constantly. That means if values in Karwood Estates have moved recently - and they have - your assessment might be telling you a number that is already out of date.
For houses, the HonestDoor Price of $463,877 reflects what the market is doing right now, not what it was doing when the city last ran its numbers. That difference can be thousands of dollars. If you are making any financial decision based on your home's value - refinancing, selling, even just understanding your net worth - the HonestDoor Price is the real-world check you need.
For house owners, the timing is not bad. Values are above the 3-month moving average, the growth rank puts us in the top half of Paradise neighbourhoods, and rental demand is strong enough that buyers with investment intentions will take notice. A 5.70% rental yield is a selling point, not just a footnote.
For condo owners, the picture calls for a bit more thought. The recent value shift means pricing your unit correctly matters more than ever right now. Overpricing in a recalibrating market is the fastest way to sit unsold through the summer. The good news is that Airbnb demand here is genuinely strong - ranked 2nd in Paradise - so the right buyer exists. You just need to meet the market where it actually is, not where it was six months ago.
Bottom line - check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else. It takes two minutes and it will tell you more than any assessment notice in your mailbox.
