The Vibe: What's Actually Happening in Viewmont
We've got two different stories playing out on the same streets, depending on whether you own a house or a condo. Let's break it down.
Houses: Steady, Not Flashy
Our house market is doing what a lot of us wish our lives would do - holding steady without drama. Prices are solid, buyers are active, and the "For Sale" signs aren't sitting there collecting dust.
- Average sale price: $1,232,000
- Average list price this month: $1,249,450
- Price per square foot: $651

On the Saanich neighbourhood leaderboard, Viewmont houses rank 4 out of 17 for growth. That puts us solidly in the top quarter. Days on market ranks 7 out of 14 - properties are moving at a moderate pace, not flying off the shelf, but not sitting either. The market here is best described as a stable buyers' market. Buyers have a little room to breathe, but sellers aren't panicking.
Condos: The Quiet Outperformer
Here's the one that might surprise you. Our condo market is quietly punching above its weight, and the numbers back it up.
- Average sale price: $675,300
- Average list price this month: $675,000
- Price per square foot: $807
- Sale-to-list ratio: 100.04% - condos are selling at or above asking
- Average days on market: 26
- Properties sold in 2026 so far: 1 this month, 3 total transactions
- Predicted market value: $1,046,451 - up from the 3-month average of $1,008,906
- Estimated monthly rent: $4,051 with a rental yield of 3.34%
- Recent value change: up 6.32%
On the Saanich neighbourhood leaderboard, Viewmont condos rank 2 out of 17 for growth. That's a top-tier result. Price rank sits at 5 out of 12 - above average for Saanich. This is a sellers' market for condos right now. If you own one and you've been on the fence about selling, the data is nudging you toward the door.
The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment
Here's the thing about your BC Assessment notice - it's a snapshot from July 1st of last year. The market doesn't care about last July. It cares about right now.
For houses in Viewmont, the average government assessed value sits at $1,181,551. The average HonestDoor Price is $1,223,888. That's a gap of roughly $42,000 - and that gap is real money if you're making any kind of financial decision based on what the province says your home is worth.
For condos, the gap is even more striking. The average assessed value is $636,799. The average HonestDoor Price is $1,096,182 - that's 72% higher than the assessment. If a condo owner in Viewmont is using their assessment to think about equity, refinancing, or a sale price, they are working with a number that is dramatically out of step with the real world.
The HonestDoor Price updates in real time using actual transaction data. It's the number your neighbour's realtor is looking at. It should be the number you're looking at too.
The "So What?" - Thinking About Selling This Summer?
If you're a house owner in Viewmont and you're thinking about listing this summer, here's the honest take: the market is stable, not surging. Buyers are paying close to list price - within 1.5% on average - and homes are taking about 30 days to sell. You're not going to get a bidding war frenzy, but you're also not going to be stuck. Price it right and it moves.
If you own a condo, the window looks better right now. Condos are selling above asking, moving in 26 days, and the growth rank of 2 out of 17 in Saanich means buyers are paying attention to this neighbourhood. Summer inventory tends to rise, which means more competition for sellers. Getting ahead of that wave makes sense.
Either way, the first step is knowing your real number - not the one on your assessment notice. Check your HonestDoor Price, compare it to what's actually selling on your street, and make the call from there. That's how the savvy neighbours are doing it.
- Airbnb potential (houses): $242 per month average
- Airbnb potential (condos): $201 per month average
- Airbnb rank in Saanich: 7 for houses, 6 for condos - both in the top half
- 782 house properties assessed in Viewmont this year
- 182 condo properties assessed in Viewmont this year
Bottom line - Viewmont is not the flashiest name on the Saanich leaderboard, but it's holding its own. Condos are quietly leading, houses are stable, and the gap between government assessments and real-world values is wide enough that every owner here should take five minutes to check where they actually stand.
