If you've been glancing at your tax assessment and wondering if it actually reflects what your place is worth - it doesn't. Not even close. Here's what's really going on in Squamish right now, straight from the numbers.
We're seeing two different stories play out depending on what you own, so let's break it down.
If you own a house in Squamish, the market is quietly working in your favor. The average sale price sits at $875,000, with price per square foot around $683. That's the transactional reality. But the bigger number to watch is the HonestDoor predicted market value of $1,151,164 - and it's trending up from the 3-month moving average of $1,148,053. That's not a fluke. That's momentum.
Here's the neighborhood leaderboard stat that matters: Squamish houses rank 1 out of 11 for growth rate in Squamish. That's the top spot. We're not just holding steady - we're leading the pack. On price, we rank 7 out of 8, which means we're still one of the more affordable options compared to other Squamish neighborhoods. That combination - top growth, accessible price - is exactly what buyers are hunting for.
Compared to nearby areas, Northridge houses come in at $1,451,438 but are growing slower. Dentville sits at $1,132,657 with the same 0.01% growth as us. We're competitive, and the trajectory is pointing up.
The condo picture is a bit more nuanced. The average sale price is $772,000, with price per square foot at $712. The HonestDoor predicted value is $1,055,338 - up from a 3-month moving average of $1,032,291. That's a 2.66% recent change, which is real movement.
On the neighborhood leaderboard, Squamish condos rank 6 out of 8 for growth - below average for the area. Price rank is 3 out of 5, so we're in the middle of the pack. The condo market is taking a bit of a breather right now. It's not alarming, but if you're a condo owner thinking about timing, that's worth knowing. Nearby Dentville condos are running at $1,176,527, so there's upside potential here if the trend continues.
Here's the thing about your city tax assessment - it's a snapshot from the past. The government assessed Squamish houses at an average of $1,075,419. The average HonestDoor Price is $1,157,930. That's a gap of 7.67%. For a homeowner, that difference isn't just a statistic - it's real money left on the table if you're making decisions based on the old number.
For condos, the gap is even more dramatic. The average assessed value is $644,422. The HonestDoor Price is $1,049,922. That's 62.92% higher than what the assessment says. If you're a condo owner in Squamish and you're still anchoring your expectations to that assessment number, you're significantly underestimating what you actually own.
The HonestDoor Price updates in real time. It pulls from actual market activity, not a once-a-year government snapshot. With 728 houses and 1,072 condos assessed in Squamish this year, there's a solid data foundation behind these numbers. Check yours now - don't wait for next year's assessment to tell you what your home is worth today.
If you own a house in Squamish and you're weighing a summer sale, the timing argument is genuinely strong. You're sitting in the number one growth-ranked neighborhood in Squamish. Values are ticking up. The HonestDoor Price is running well above the assessed value. Buyers looking at Squamish are comparing you against Northridge - which is pricier - and Dentville, which is cheaper. You're in a sweet spot.
For condo owners, the story is a little more "watch and wait." The predicted value is climbing and the gap between assessed value and real market value is enormous - meaning buyers who do their homework know your place is worth more than the tax bill suggests. But growth is ranked below average right now. If you can hold a few more months and let that 2.66% recent momentum build, you may be in a stronger position.
Either way, the first move is simple: pull your HonestDoor Price, compare it to your assessment, and know the real number before you have a single conversation with a buyer or an agent. That's how you walk into a negotiation with the upper hand.
