Rothsay, Maple Ridge - August 2026 Real Estate Report

Rothsay, Maple Ridge: Your Home Is Worth More Than the City Thinks

If you own a home in Rothsay and you have not checked your HonestDoor Price lately, now is the time. The city's assessment is sitting at an average of $1,831,469 - but the real-world number is already higher. Here is what is actually going on in our neighbourhood right now.

The Vibe: Houses vs. Condos

We are seeing two very different stories play out on the same streets, so let's break them down honestly.

Houses - Holding Strong at the Top

If you have been watching the "For Sale" signs in Rothsay, here is what is actually happening with houses. We are sitting near the top of the Maple Ridge leaderboard - and that is not just talk.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $1,853,634
• Average assessed value: $1,831,469 - the HonestDoor Price runs 1.21% above that
• Average sale price: $2,010,000
• Price per square foot: $812
• Predicted market value: $1,881,810 - trending up from the 3-month average of $1,873,666
• Estimated monthly rent: $6,504
• Rental yield: 3.87%
• Neighbourhood growth rank: 1 out of 24 in Maple Ridge
• Price rank: 2 out of 19 in Maple Ridge

That growth rank is the headline stat here. Number one out of 24 comparable neighbourhoods means Rothsay houses are outperforming almost every other pocket in Maple Ridge right now. Yes, the HonestDoor Price dipped 1.50% from the previous period - the market is taking a breather - but the predicted value is still climbing month over month. That is a healthy sign, not a warning sign.

How do we stack up against the neighbours? Whispering Falls houses are predicted at $2,059,344 - a bit pricier. Blue Mountain comes in at $1,861,382 - basically neck and neck with us. Websters Corners is cheaper at $1,703,313 and growing slower. We are in good company at the top end of the market.

Condos - A Different Conversation

The condo picture in Rothsay is worth paying attention to, especially if you own one. The numbers are moving in opposite directions depending on which metric you look at.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $1,176,800 - up 8.79% from the previous period
• Predicted market value: $1,081,700
• 3-month moving average: $1,096,033 - the predicted value is currently below this
• Recent value change: -2.51%
• Estimated monthly rent: $4,460
• Rental yield: 2.70%
• Airbnb rank in Maple Ridge: 1 out of all neighbourhoods
• Growth rank: 14 out of 18 in Maple Ridge

Here is the honest read: condo values in Rothsay are under some short-term pressure. The predicted value is sliding below its 3-month average, and the growth rank of 14 out of 18 puts us below the pack right now. That said, the HonestDoor Price jumped 8.79% - which tells us there is real demand baked in. And that Airbnb rank of number one in all of Maple Ridge? That is a serious income story for short-term rental owners. At $235 per night, Rothsay condos are the top Airbnb play in the city.

Every nearby condo neighbourhood - Websters Corners, Whonnock, Smith - is priced significantly lower than us. We are the premium condo option in this corner of Maple Ridge.

The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment

Your city assessment is a snapshot taken months ago, based on data that is even older. It does not know what sold last week. It does not know what buyers are actually offering right now. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using current sales, market shifts, and neighbourhood-level signals - not a once-a-year government estimate.

In Rothsay right now, the HonestDoor Price for houses is already $22,165 above the average city assessment. That gap matters. If you are making any financial decision - refinancing, selling, even just understanding your net worth - using the assessed value alone means you are working with a number that is already behind the market. The HonestDoor Price is the real-world check that keeps you current.

With 333 properties assessed in Rothsay this year and only 2 transactions recorded in 2026, the city has very little fresh sales data to work with. Your HonestDoor Price fills that gap.

The "So What?" - Thinking About Selling This Summer?

If you own a house in Rothsay and you are thinking about listing this summer, the timing conversation is actually pretty interesting. Here is the straight talk.

The good news: you are in the number one growth neighbourhood in Maple Ridge for houses. Buyers looking at the top end of the market - and at $812 per square foot, that is exactly where Rothsay sits - are still active. A predicted value of $1,881,810 that is trending upward is a green light for sellers who price correctly.

The honest caveat: the HonestDoor Price did ease 1.50% from the previous period. This is not a crash - it is a pause. With only 1 house sold recently, the market is not flooded with buyers, but it is also not flooded with competing listings. Low supply at the top of the market tends to work in a seller's favour.

For condo owners, the calculus is a bit different. Short-term, values are softening. If your plan is to hold, the Airbnb income potential and that number one short-term rental ranking in Maple Ridge make Rothsay condos a strong income asset while you wait. If you need to sell soon, price it sharp - the gap between the HonestDoor Price and the predicted value tells you there is room to negotiate, and buyers know it.

Bottom line: check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else. It is the most current number you have - and in a market like this, current beats everything.
