Squamish Real Estate Right Now: What Your Neighbour Hasn't Told You Yet

If you own property in Squamish and you're still looking at your BC Assessment notice to figure out what your place is worth, stop. That number is already old. Here's what's actually happening on the ground right now.

The Vibe: Houses vs. Condos in Squamish

We're seeing two different stories play out depending on what you own. Houses are holding steady and condos are quietly picking up steam. Neither market is on fire, but neither is falling apart either. This is a market taking a breather - not one in trouble.

Houses

• Average sale price: $934,000 - essentially flat right now
• Price per square foot: around $680
• 3 homes sold in the most recent period - steady, not surging
• Predicted market value: $1,146,796 - up from the 3-month average of $1,141,326
• Estimated rent: $4,605 per month with a 4.51% rental yield
• Airbnb potential: $229 per night
• 729 properties assessed this year
• Growth ranks 6 out of 11 neighbourhoods in Squamish - middle of the pack
• Price ranks 7 out of 8 - one of the more affordable options in the city

For us house owners, the honest read is this: values are creeping up slowly. The predicted value of $1,146,796 is nudging past the 3-month moving average, which tells us momentum is pointing in the right direction - just not at a sprint. Nearby Dentville is sitting at a similar price point ($1,149,334 predicted), so we're not being left behind.

Condos

• Average sale price: $622,500 - holding steady
• Price per square foot: around $741
• 2 condos sold recently - quiet but consistent
• Predicted market value: $1,027,969 - up from the 3-month average of $1,015,215
• Estimated rent: $3,911 per month with a 3.37% rental yield
• Airbnb potential: $197 per night
• 1,072 properties assessed this year
• Growth ranks 3 out of 8 neighbourhoods - above average in Squamish
• Price ranks 3 out of 5 - below average in price, meaning room to grow

Condos are the more interesting story right now. A 1.42% recent value change and a growth rank of 3 out of 8 puts Squamish condos in the top half of the neighbourhood leaderboard. If you own a condo here, you're in a better competitive position than most of your Squamish neighbours. That combination of below-average price and above-average growth is exactly what buyers look for.

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

Here's the thing about BC Assessment - it's a snapshot from months ago, based on data that's even older. It's not a real-world number. It's a government estimate built for tax purposes, not for selling your home.

The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. And right now, the gap between the two in Squamish is significant enough that ignoring it could cost you real money.

• Houses: Average assessed value is $1,075,264. The HonestDoor Price is $1,150,981 - that's 7.04% higher, and it's still ticking up (0.36% increase from the previous period).
• Condos: This one is striking. Average assessed value is $644,422. The HonestDoor Price is $1,055,338 - a full 63.77% higher than the assessment, and up 2.66% from the previous period.

That condo gap is not a typo. If a condo owner in Squamish walks into a conversation anchored to their $644,422 assessment, they are leaving a massive amount of value on the table. The HonestDoor Price is the real-world check that cuts through the noise.

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

If you're weighing a sale this summer, here's the straight talk.

For house sellers: You're sitting on a predicted value of $1,146,796 in a market that's still moving upward, even if slowly. With only 3 recent sales and 6 total transactions in 2026 so far, inventory is tight. Tight inventory is a seller's friend. You're not competing with a flood of listings. Dentville next door is priced similarly, so buyers looking at that neighbourhood will have their eye on Squamish too - use that cross-shopping to your advantage.

For condo sellers: The numbers are working in your favour right now. A 1.42% recent value jump, a growth rank of 3 out of 8 on the neighbourhood leaderboard, and a HonestDoor Price sitting nearly 64% above the government assessment - that's a strong hand to play. With only 2 recent sales, any well-priced listing stands out immediately.

For both: Rental demand is real here. A house renting at $4,605 per month and a condo at $3,911 per month means buyers who are on the fence about purchasing will do the math and see holding costs are manageable. That keeps buyer interest alive even when the broader market is quiet.

Bottom line - Squamish is not a market screaming for attention right now, but the fundamentals are solid. If you've been waiting for a sign to check what your place is actually worth today, this is it. Pull your HonestDoor Price and compare it to that assessment letter sitting in your drawer. The difference might surprise you.
