If you've been glancing at your latest BC Assessment notice and wondering if it tells the whole story, the short answer is: it doesn't. Stride Hill is sitting in an interesting spot right now - and depending on whether you own a house or a condo, the picture looks pretty different. Let's break it down.
We're a neighbourhood of 794 assessed properties on the house side and 1,817 on the condo side, so there's real data to work with here. But the two markets are telling two very different stories right now.
Houses
Houses here are holding their ground. The predicted value is actually trending upward against the 3-month average, which is a quiet but real signal. The sale price of $2,100,800 looks high relative to the HonestDoor Price, but with only 1 transaction, one premium sale can skew that number fast. Don't read too much into it - watch the HonestDoor Price trend instead.
Condos
Condos are the one to watch carefully. That 13.7% drop in average sale price sounds alarming, but again - one transaction can do that. The HonestDoor predicted value is actually inching upward. The bigger flag here is that the HonestDoor Price of $642,134 is already 7.73% below the city's assessed value of $695,909. That gap matters - and we'll get to why in a second.
Here's the thing about BC Assessment: it's a snapshot from July 1 of the previous year. By the time that number lands in your mailbox, it's already stale. The market has moved on. For Stride Hill condo owners specifically, that gap is costing you clarity - and potentially money.
The city says the average condo here is worth $695,909. The HonestDoor Price says $642,134. That's a $53,775 difference. If you're pricing a listing based on the assessment, you could be starting the conversation in the wrong place entirely.
For house owners, the story flips in your favour. The HonestDoor Price of $1,303,368 runs 4.17% above the city's assessed average of $1,251,135. Your home is likely worth more than the government's number suggests - and a real-time HonestDoor Price is the check that shows it.
Think of the HonestDoor Price as the number that actually reflects what buyers are doing right now - not what they were doing 12 months ago.
If you own a house in Stride Hill and you're considering listing this summer, the fundamentals are decent. We rank 10th out of 34 Burnaby neighbourhoods on price - that's a strong position. The predicted value is trending up. Nearby neighbourhoods like Edmonds ($937,080) and Stride Avenue ($982,600) are cheaper, which means buyers priced out of Stride Hill aren't finding a dramatically cheaper alternative next door. That's a quiet advantage for sellers here.
If you own a condo, be honest with yourself about the current numbers. Values are down 1.79% recently and our growth rank of 24 out of 37 puts us in the below-average tier for Burnaby right now. That doesn't mean don't sell - it means price it right from day one. Nearby Edmonds condos are selling at $638,333 on average, and our recent sale came in at $560,000. Buyers are doing their homework. You should too.
Either way, the move right now is simple: check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else. It's the real-world number - updated continuously, not once a year. In a market where even a few months can shift things, that's the difference between a smart decision and a stale one.
Bottom line - Stride Hill is not a neighbourhood in trouble. It's a neighbourhood in a holding pattern. For sellers, that means the window to move before the market makes the decision for you is worth paying attention to this summer.
