If you have been glancing at your property assessment and feeling underwhelmed, here is the real picture. The city's number and your home's actual market value are not even close right now - and that gap is worth knowing about before you make any moves.
Maywood is a neighbourhood where the assessed value and the real-world price are living in two completely different realities. Across the board - houses and condos - what the city says your place is worth and what a buyer would actually pay are miles apart. Here is how the two property types are playing out for us right now.
The house market in Maywood is quiet. One sale went through recently at an average of $1,110,000, and prices are essentially flat. That is not a crash - it is just a slow stretch. The bigger story is what the numbers say about where values are heading.
That growth rank is the honest part. On the Burnaby neighbourhood leaderboard, Maywood houses sit near the bottom for momentum right now - 31st out of 36. Nearby neighbourhoods like Garden Village, Marlborough, and Suncrest are all outpacing us on growth, and their prices run higher too. Marlborough's HonestDoor Price sits at $1,929,220 and Suncrest at $1,872,227. That tells us Maywood houses still have room to climb relative to neighbours - but the market needs to find its footing first.
The condo side of Maywood is where things get genuinely interesting. One sale closed recently at $470,000 - down sharply from last month - but do not let that single data point spook you. The predicted market value tells a much more confident story.
That growth rank is worth pausing on. Maywood condos sit 8th out of 37 on the Burnaby neighbourhood leaderboard - that is a top-tier position. Values are rising, the predicted price is climbing above the 3-month average, and this neighbourhood is leading Burnaby in condo transaction volume. Compared to nearby Garden Village ($604,681 HonestDoor Price) and Suncrest ($795,060), Maywood condos are priced well above the local competition. Even against Marlborough ($1,098,324), we are holding our own.
Here is the thing about your city assessment - it is a snapshot from the past. It does not update in real time, it does not factor in recent sales momentum, and it definitely does not reflect what a motivated buyer would put on the table today.
For Maywood houses, the HonestDoor Price of $1,412,483 is 36.88% higher than the average assessed value. For condos, that gap blows out to 56.11%. That is not a rounding error - that is tens of thousands of dollars sitting between what the city thinks your home is worth and what the market actually says.
The HonestDoor Price pulls in real-time sales data, current market trends, and comparable transactions to give you a live read on your property's value. Think of your tax assessment as last year's weather forecast. The HonestDoor Price is the radar screen right now.
If you are a Maywood homeowner weighing a summer sale, here is the straight talk.
For house owners - the market is taking a breather. Values have dipped 2.40% recently and the growth rank of 31 out of 36 means momentum is not on your side right now. That said, your HonestDoor Price is still sitting nearly $381,000 above your assessed value. If you need to sell, price it sharp and price it to the real market - not the city's number. Buyers are not looking at assessments; they are looking at comparable sales.
For condo owners - the timing looks more interesting. Values are up 3.69% recently, the predicted price is climbing above the 3-month average, and Maywood ranks 8th in Burnaby for condo growth. That is a solid position heading into summer. With 65 transactions already recorded in 2026 and a top-1 ranking for condo transaction volume in Burnaby, there is real buyer activity here. Demand exists. If your unit is well-presented and priced to the HonestDoor benchmark, you are working with the market, not against it.
Either way - pull your HonestDoor Price before you call an agent. Walk into that conversation knowing your real number, not the city's outdated one.
