If you own a home in Squamish and you haven't checked your HonestDoor Price lately, you're probably leaving a six-figure gap on the table - and not in a good way. Here's the straight story on what's actually happening in this market.
We're seeing two pretty different stories play out right now depending on what you own.
On the house side, things are holding steady. The average sale price is sitting at $875,000 with a price per square foot of around $683. Only 2 houses sold recently, but that's not panic - that's a tight inventory market. The predicted market value for houses is $1,157,930, which is nudging up from the 3-month moving average of $1,152,013. That's a slow climb, but it's a climb. Growth ranks 3 out of 11 neighbourhoods in Squamish - that puts us in the above-average tier on the local leaderboard. On price, we rank 7 out of 8, which means houses here are among the more affordable options in the city. That's actually a good thing if you're buying. If you're selling, it means there's room to move up.
Condos are a different conversation. One unit sold recently, and the average sale price came in at $568,000 at about $741 per square foot. The predicted market value is $1,049,922, up slightly from the 3-month moving average of $1,044,410. But here's the flag - condo values have dipped 0.51% recently. The market isn't falling off a cliff, but it is taking a breather. Growth ranks 3 out of 8 in Squamish, still above average, but the direction matters. Rental yield sits at 3.35%, which is moderate - not a home run for investors, but not a loss either.
Here's the thing about your BC Assessment number - it's a snapshot from last year. The city looked at your property on a fixed date and stamped a value on it. That's it. It doesn't know what's happened since.
For houses in Squamish, the average assessed value is $1,075,419. The average HonestDoor Price is $1,171,234. That's a gap of nearly $96,000 - and the HonestDoor Price has gone up 1.15% from the previous period. Your assessment is already 8.91% behind where the real-world market is sitting right now.
Condos tell an even wilder story. The average assessed value is $644,422. The average HonestDoor Price is $1,023,003. That's a 58.75% difference. If a condo owner in Squamish is using their assessment to make any kind of financial decision - whether to sell, refinance, or negotiate - they're working with a number that is dramatically out of step with reality. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. The assessment is not. That gap is the whole point.
If you own a house here and you've been sitting on the fence, the data gives you a reasonable case to move. Values are ticking up, you're in the above-average growth tier on the neighbourhood leaderboard, and your HonestDoor Price is nearly $100,000 ahead of what the city thinks your home is worth. Buyers who are serious about Squamish are comparing you to Northridge - where the HonestDoor Price hits $1,489,742 - and suddenly your price point looks like value. That's a real selling advantage.
If you own a condo, the picture is a bit more nuanced. Values are still above the 3-month average, but the recent dip of 0.51% is worth watching. You're not in trouble, but waiting for a big run-up this summer may not be the play. If your life circumstances make selling the right call, the numbers still support a reasonable outcome - especially with a HonestDoor Price over a million dollars against an assessment under $650,000.
Either way, the first step is the same: check your HonestDoor Price today. Not your assessment. Not what your neighbour thinks their place is worth. The real number, updated for the market we're actually in right now.
