Marpole, Vancouver - October 2026 Real Estate Report
Marpole Real Estate Right Now: What Your Neighbour Isn't Telling You
If you own a home in Marpole and you're still looking at your city assessment to figure out what your place is worth, you're working with old news. Here's the real picture - and it's more interesting than the paperwork suggests.
The Vibe: What's Actually Happening on Our Streets
Marpole is taking a breather. Neighbourhood growth is down 0.08% year over year, and if we're being straight with each other, that's not a crisis - it's a pause. With 3,980 properties assessed and 6 transactions recorded in 2026 so far, the market here is moving carefully, not frantically. That's actually useful information if you're thinking about your next move.
Houses: Steady, But Watch the Trend
If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs in Marpole, here's what's actually happening with detached houses right now.
- Average sale price: $1,314,000 - essentially flat from last month
- Price per square foot: $917
- Properties sold this month: 2
- HonestDoor predicted market value: $2,356,843
- 3-month moving average: $2,363,190 - values are drifting slightly lower
- Estimated monthly rent: $7,640
- Rental yield: 3.65%
- Recent value change: -0.73%
- Neighbourhood leaderboard - Growth rank: 19 out of 23 Vancouver neighbourhoods
- Neighbourhood leaderboard - Price rank: 16 out of 22 Vancouver neighbourhoods
That growth rank is worth paying attention to. Sitting at 19 out of 23 puts Marpole houses near the bottom of the Vancouver leaderboard right now. It doesn't mean the sky is falling - but if you're a seller, timing matters more than it did a year ago. The predicted market value of $2,356,843 is also sliding below the 3-month average, which tells us the momentum is soft, not strong.
Condos: A Different Story
Here's where Marpole gets interesting for us condo owners. While houses are grinding sideways, condos are showing some life.
- Average sale price: $676,000 - up 1.7% from last month
- Price per square foot: $830
- Properties sold this month: 2
- HonestDoor predicted market value: $2,279,844
- 3-month moving average: $2,283,580 - also easing slightly
- Estimated monthly rent: $6,569
- Rental yield: 2.66%
- Recent value change: +0.22%
- Neighbourhood leaderboard - Growth rank: 7 out of 22 Vancouver neighbourhoods
- Neighbourhood leaderboard - Price rank: 15 out of 22 Vancouver neighbourhoods
A growth rank of 7 out of 22 puts Marpole condos solidly above average in Vancouver right now. That 1.7% bump in sale price month-over-month is a real signal. Condos here are also outpacing nearby Bridgeport on growth, and while Oakridge condos sell for slightly more ($700,000 average), we're not far behind. For condo owners, this is a better moment than the house numbers suggest.
The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Assessment Right Now
Your city assessment is a snapshot from the past. It gets calculated once a year using data that's already months old by the time it lands in your mailbox. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time - and for Marpole, the gap between the two numbers is significant.
For houses, the average assessed value sits at $2,222,672. The average HonestDoor Price is $2,319,462 - that's 4.35% higher than what the city says your home is worth. For condos, the gap is even more dramatic. The average assessed value is $692,074, while the HonestDoor Price comes in at $2,381,818. That's a 244% difference. If you're making any financial decision - refinancing, selling, estate planning - using the assessment number alone is leaving serious money on the table.
The HonestDoor Price has dipped 1.59% for houses from the previous period, which is exactly the kind of real-world signal a static assessment will never show you until it's too late to act on it.
The "So What?" - Thinking About Selling This Summer?
Here's the honest take for Marpole homeowners eyeing a summer sale.
For house sellers - the window is open, but it's not wide. With growth ranking near the bottom of the Vancouver leaderboard and values ticking down slightly from the 3-month average, waiting for a big price surge may not be the right call. If your life circumstances make a sale make sense, this summer is a reasonable time to move. Buyers are still out there, and your HonestDoor Price of roughly $2,319,462 on average gives you a realistic anchor for pricing conversations - not the city's number.
For condo sellers - you're in a slightly better spot. The 1.7% month-over-month price increase and a top-7 growth ranking in Vancouver means there's genuine buyer interest in Marpole condos right now. The rental story also helps - $6,569 per month in estimated rent at a 3.65% yield for houses and 2.66% for condos means investors are paying attention to this neighbourhood.
One more thing worth knowing: Marpole ranks 10th in Vancouver for Airbnb potential on houses, with an estimated $375 per night. That's a real selling point for the right buyer. Use it.
- Nearby check - Bridgeport: HonestDoor Price $1,466,837 - cheaper, but growing slightly faster
- Nearby check - Oakridge: HonestDoor Price $3,412,830 - significantly higher priced
