If you own a home in Tempe and you're still looking at your BC Assessment notice to figure out what your place is worth, it's time for an update. The city's number is already months old the moment it lands in your mailbox. Here's what's actually happening on the ground right now.
Tempe is a mid-sized neighbourhood with 612 assessed properties, and the market is taking a breather. Neighbourhood growth is down 0.03% year over year - not a freefall, but a signal worth watching. Here's how houses and condos are splitting the story.
For those of us with detached homes, the numbers are holding steady. The average sale price sits at $2,100,000, essentially unchanged from last month. Price per square foot is around $1,738, which tells you this market still commands serious money per inch of floor space.
One property sold last month. That's a thin slice of data, so we don't read too much into a single transaction. What matters more is that the predicted value is trending upward against the 3-month average. That's a quiet positive signal in a market that's otherwise catching its breath.
Here's where Tempe gets interesting. If you own a condo here, you're sitting in rare air. The average HonestDoor Price for condos is $2,510,615 - and it's up 0.97% from the previous period. That's not a typo. Tempe condos rank 3rd in all of North Vancouver for Airbnb potential, and 14th out of 48 neighbourhoods for growth. That's a strong leaderboard position.
Compare that to nearby neighbourhoods and the gap is clear. Boundary condos average $1,382,580 and Grand Boulevard condos average $682,244. Tempe condos are in a completely different weight class. If you own one, that's worth knowing.
Your BC Assessment is a snapshot taken in July of last year. It's not wrong - it's just old. The HonestDoor Price is a real-time calculation that updates as the market moves. For houses in Tempe, the average HonestDoor Price is $2,047,526 - that's 0.23% above the average assessed value of $2,042,804. It's a small gap right now, but the direction matters. The HonestDoor Price is the number a buyer's agent is going to reference. It's the number a lender is going to think about. Your assessment is for your tax bill. Your HonestDoor Price is for your real-world decisions.
For condo owners, the HonestDoor Price is climbing - up 0.97% - while the broader neighbourhood growth number is flat. That divergence is exactly the kind of thing you miss if you're only checking in once a year at assessment time.
Here's the honest read for Tempe owners heading into summer selling season.
Nearby, Grand Boulevard is averaging $2,256,880 for houses and growing slightly faster. Boundary and Kirkstone are both cheaper and also growing faster. Tempe holds its own on price, but if you're selling, the window to act before those neighbours close the gap is worth thinking about. Summer 2025 is not the time to sit on the fence.
