Upper Lynn, North Vancouver - September 2026 Real Estate Report

Upper Lynn, North Vancouver: Your Home Is Probably Worth Less Than the City Thinks

If you have been glancing at your latest property assessment and feeling pretty good about yourself, here is a reality check worth reading. The numbers on the ground in Upper Lynn right now tell a slightly different story than what the city has on file.

The Vibe: What Is Actually Happening in Upper Lynn

The short version - the market here is taking a breather. Neighbourhood growth dipped 0.02% year over year, and with only 2 property transactions recorded in 2026 so far, we are not exactly in a bidding-war environment. That said, 948 properties were assessed this year, so there is a lot of real estate value sitting quietly in this neighbourhood.

Houses: The Numbers on the Ground

If you own a house in Upper Lynn, here is where things stand right now.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $1,920,670
• Average Assessed Value: $1,974,226
• HonestDoor Price is 2.71% below the city assessment
• HonestDoor Price has dipped 0.37% from the previous period
• Average sale price: $1,580,000
• Price per square foot: $1,779
• Predicted market value: $1,927,766
• 3-month moving average: $1,959,609 - and the trend is downward
• Estimated monthly rent: $6,633
• Rental yield: 3.72%
• Recent value change: -0.53%
• Growth rank: 42 out of 52 neighbourhoods in North Vancouver
• Price rank: 33 out of 46 neighbourhoods in North Vancouver

That growth rank is the number to pay attention to. On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Upper Lynn houses are sitting near the bottom tier for price growth right now - 42nd out of 52 comparable areas. We are not in freefall, but we are not leading the pack either. The predicted value of $1,927,766 is already sliding below the 3-month moving average of $1,959,609, which tells us the direction of travel in the short term.

For context, our neighbours are not doing much better. Central Lynn houses are priced higher at around $2,091,370 but growing slower. Braemar sits well above us at $2,719,272 and is also declining faster. Lynn Canyon clocks in at $2,140,466 with a similar downward trend. Upper Lynn is not an outlier - the whole pocket is cooling off together.

Condos: A Different Picture

Condo owners in Upper Lynn are looking at a slightly different set of numbers.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $1,162,686
• HonestDoor Price has decreased 0.80% from the previous period
• Predicted market value: $1,172,071
• 3-month moving average: $1,167,281 - and the predicted value is actually creeping above it
• Estimated monthly rent: $4,697
• Rental yield: 2.56%
• Recent value change: -1.17%
• Growth rank: 24 out of 48 neighbourhoods in North Vancouver
• Airbnb rank in North Vancouver: 8th

Here is the interesting part for condo owners. While the recent value change is down 1.17%, the predicted value is actually sitting above the 3-month moving average. That is a small but meaningful signal that condos here may be finding a floor. The growth rank of 24 out of 48 puts us in above-average territory for North Vancouver condos - a much better leaderboard position than our house counterparts.

The Airbnb rank of 8th in North Vancouver is genuinely strong. At an estimated $232 per night, Upper Lynn condos have real short-term rental appeal. Nearby, Central Lynn condos are priced higher at $1,296,900, while Lynn Canyon and Valley Centre both come in cheaper. We sit in the middle of the pack on price but punch above our weight on short-term rental demand.

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

Your city assessment was calculated using data that is already months old by the time it lands in your mailbox. It is a snapshot of the past, not a reading of today. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using actual market signals - recent sales, current demand, and live price movement.

Right now in Upper Lynn, that gap matters. The average assessed value for houses sits at $1,974,226. The average HonestDoor Price is $1,920,670. That is a $53,556 difference. If you are pricing a home based on your assessment alone, you could be walking into negotiations with the wrong number in your head. The HonestDoor Price is the real-world check - what the market is actually willing to pay today, not what a government formula calculated last year.

The So What: Thinking About Selling This Summer?

Here is the honest take for anyone weighing a summer sale in Upper Lynn.

The window is not closed, but it is not wide open either. With only 2 transactions recorded in 2026 so far and a growth rank of 42 out of 52 for houses, buyer demand is quiet. Prices are drifting down, not crashing - but the 3-month moving average for houses is heading in the wrong direction. If you are a house owner and you want to sell, sooner is likely better than later while values are still in the $1.9 million range.

For condo owners, the picture is a bit more encouraging. The predicted value is nudging above the moving average, the growth rank is above average for the area, and that Airbnb ranking of 8th in North Vancouver gives buyers a compelling income story. If you are selling a condo, you have a decent argument to make to buyers right now.

Either way, do not anchor your expectations to the city assessment. Pull your HonestDoor Price first. It is the number that reflects what Upper Lynn buyers are actually doing - not what a spreadsheet said they were doing six months ago.

• House sellers - act before the moving average drops further
• Condo sellers - lean into the rental yield and Airbnb story
• Everyone - check your HonestDoor Price before you set a list price
