If you own property in South Cambie and you have not checked your numbers lately, here is the short version: the city's assessment is lagging behind reality by a wide margin. We are talking about a gap that could mean hundreds of thousands of dollars sitting on the table, unnoticed.
South Cambie is not a market on fire right now, but it is not falling apart either. It is taking a breather. Neighbourhood growth is down 0.05% year over year, and if you look at the leaderboard, our houses rank 11 out of 23 Vancouver neighbourhoods for growth - solidly above average, but not leading the pack. Here is how the two main property types are playing out for us right now.
The average sale price for a house in South Cambie sits at $1,418,000, which is down 8.5% from last month. That sounds alarming, but keep in mind only 1 house sold - so that single transaction is moving the needle hard. One sale does not make a trend. What matters more is the predicted market value, which sits at $3,136,291, slightly off the 3-month moving average of $3,181,530. Values have nudged down 0.21% recently, so the market is cooling, not crashing.
For context, our average house sale price is running slightly ahead of Riley Park ($1,180,000) and Shaughnessy ($1,170,000) on recent sales. If you are a house owner here, you are sitting in decent company on the leaderboard.
The condo picture is a bit more interesting. The average sale price dropped to $738,000, down 39.9% from last month - but again, only 1 condo sold, so treat that number as a data point, not a disaster. The more reliable signal is the predicted market value of $1,650,565, which is actually creeping up against the 3-month moving average of $1,645,161. Condo values are up 2.09% recently, which puts us at rank 11 out of 22 Vancouver neighbourhoods for growth - above average.
On the condo leaderboard, we rank above average on price at 8 out of 22. That puts South Cambie condos ahead of nearby Shaughnessy ($1,403,157 predicted) and Oakridge ($1,415,427), though Riley Park is running a bit higher at $1,938,288.
Here is the thing about your city tax assessment - it is a snapshot from the past. The government assessed 1,463 houses and 1,413 condos in South Cambie this year, and those numbers are already stale by the time they land in your mailbox.
For houses, the average assessed value is $2,746,064. The average HonestDoor Price is $3,150,555. That is a gap of 14.73% - roughly $404,000 that the city is not accounting for. For condos, the gap is even wider. The average assessed value is $903,240, but the HonestDoor Price comes in at $1,626,213 - a difference of 80.04%, or over $720,000.
The HonestDoor Price updates in real time using current sales data, market movement, and neighbourhood trends. Your tax assessment does not do that. If you are making any financial decision based on the city's number alone - whether that is refinancing, listing, or just knowing your net worth - you are working with incomplete information.
South Cambie is not a seller's market right now, but it is not a buyer's paradise either. Transaction volume is low - only 2 house sales and 6 condo sales recorded in 2026 so far. Low inventory can actually work in a seller's favour if you price it right.
A few things to keep in mind before you put up a sign this summer:
Bottom line: South Cambie is a steady, well-positioned neighbourhood in a market that is catching its breath. If you are selling, price it based on what the market is actually doing - not what the city assessed a year ago. Check your HonestDoor Price first. That is your starting point.
