If you've been glancing at your latest tax assessment and feeling pretty good about yourself, hold on. The numbers on the ground in Seymour Heights tell a slightly different story right now - and knowing the difference could save you from a costly mistake this summer.
Let's split this into two conversations, because houses and condos are moving in opposite directions here.
The average assessed value for a house in our neighbourhood sits at $2,067,349. But the HonestDoor Price - the real-world, right-now number - comes in at $1,991,418. That's a 3.67% gap below the city's assessment, and the HonestDoor Price has slipped another 4.35% from the previous period. The market is telling us something the assessment isn't.
One house sold last month. That's a thin market. Thin markets can swing hard in either direction, so don't read too much into a single sale. The predicted value of $2,082,090 is nudging upward from the 3-month moving average, which is a small green flag - but we're not popping champagne yet. Compared to nearby Riverside East, where the HonestDoor Price is $2,065,870 and growth is running at -0.02%, we're in similar territory. Riverside West is cheaper at $1,882,007 and growing slower at -0.05%, which puts Seymour Heights in the middle of the pack locally.
Here's the surprise. While houses are cooling off, condos in Seymour Heights are actually doing something interesting. The HonestDoor Price for condos is $922,374 - up 4.09% from the previous period. That's a real move in a market that hasn't been handing out many wins lately.
A growth rank of 8 out of 48 is genuinely strong. That puts our condos in the top tier of North Vancouver neighbourhoods right now. Compared to nearby Winridge condos at $768,515, Seymour Heights is commanding a serious premium - and holding it. The predicted value is dipping slightly below the 3-month average, so we're not in a runaway situation, but the momentum is real.
Your city assessment is a snapshot from last July. A lot has changed since then. The HonestDoor Price updates in real time using actual sales data, market trends, and current conditions - not a number a government office locked in months ago.
For houses in Seymour Heights, the HonestDoor Price is already $75,931 below the assessed value. If you're pricing a home based on that assessment, you may be walking into negotiations with the wrong anchor number. Buyers have access to the same real-time data we do. They will know.
For condo owners, the HonestDoor Price is actually running ahead of recent sale prices - which means the market may be building toward your favour. Checking your HonestDoor Price now gives you a real baseline before you make any decisions.
Think of the assessment as the city's best guess from last summer. Think of the HonestDoor Price as what a motivated buyer would actually put on paper today.
Here's the honest answer, split by property type.
If you own a house - the window is not closed, but it is narrowing. The HonestDoor Price is down 4.35%, the neighbourhood growth rate is slightly negative, and we rank 29th out of 54 on the North Vancouver growth leaderboard. That's not a crisis, but it's not a seller's dream either. If you've been sitting on the fence, the data says don't wait for the market to come back to you this season. Price it sharp, price it based on the HonestDoor number, and move with intention.
If you own a condo - you're in a better spot. A top-8 growth ranking in North Vancouver is real leverage. The HonestDoor Price is up over 4%, and you're priced above average for the city. A well-presented condo listed this summer has a genuine shot at a strong result. Just don't overprice it based on the assessed value - use the HonestDoor Price as your starting point and work with your agent from there.
Either way, the smartest move right now is to pull your free HonestDoor Price, compare it to your assessment, and have an honest conversation about what the market is actually telling you - not what a July 2024 snapshot said.
