If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs in Victory Heights and wondering whether your home is worth more or less than the city says - here's the real picture. The numbers tell two very different stories depending on whether you own a house or a condo, and one of those stories is genuinely surprising.
For those of us with houses, the market is taking a breather. The average sale price sits at $1,405,000, with a price per square foot of around $835. Only 2 houses sold recently, and the predicted market value of $1,560,502 is drifting slightly below the 3-month moving average of $1,580,591. Values are down about 0.78% recently. That is not a crash - it is a pause. On the neighbourhood leaderboard, our house growth ranks 5 out of 15 in New Westminster, which puts us in above-average territory. Price rank is 3 out of 14, meaning we are still one of the pricier spots in the city.
Condos are a completely different conversation. We are seeing real momentum here. The predicted condo value of $915,569 is climbing above the 3-month moving average of $901,704, and values have moved up 2.20% recently. That growth ranks 1 out of 15 in New Westminster - top of the leaderboard. The average sale price is $491,500 at around $458 per square foot, which is actually below where Sapperton condos are trading at $553,500. That gap is worth paying attention to if you are a buyer.
Here is the thing about your BC Assessment notice - it is a snapshot from last July. A lot has moved since then. The HonestDoor Price is a real-time check that updates as the market shifts, and right now it is telling a story your assessment simply cannot.
For house owners, the average HonestDoor Price is $1,576,042 - that is 1.83% below the average assessed value of $1,605,445. In plain terms, the city thinks your house is worth a bit more than the market currently agrees with. That is useful to know before you price anything.
For condo owners, the gap is jaw-dropping. The average assessed value is $517,260, but the average HonestDoor Price is $975,056 - that is 88.50% higher than the assessment, and it has increased 6.50% from the previous period. If you are a condo owner in Victory Heights relying on your tax assessment to understand what your unit is worth, you are working with a number that is roughly half of reality. The HonestDoor Price is the real-world check here, and it is pointing sharply upward.
If you own a house and are thinking about listing, the honest advice is this: do not anchor to your assessment. The HonestDoor Price of $1,576,042 is the more current read, and with values down slightly from the 3-month average, pricing sharp from day one matters more than it did a year ago. There were only 5 total property transactions in Victory Heights in 2026 so far - this is not a high-volume market. Buyers have options, and they know it. That said, a price rank of 3 out of 14 in New Westminster means Victory Heights houses still command a premium. You have leverage - just use it carefully.
If you own a condo, the timing conversation looks different. Values are rising, growth ranks first in the city, and the HonestDoor Price has jumped 6.50%. If you have been sitting on the fence, the data is moving in your favour right now. Rental demand is also solid - $3,913 per month in estimated rent with a 3.02% yield gives a buyer a real reason to pay up. That is a story worth telling in your listing.
Either way, pull your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else. In a market where assessed values and real-world prices are this far apart, that number is not just useful - it is the starting point for every smart conversation about what your Victory Heights property is actually worth today.
