West Point Grey, Vancouver - October 2026 Real Estate Report
West Point Grey Real Estate: Your Assessed Value Is Leaving a Lot of Money on the Table
If you own a home in West Point Grey and you're still looking at your BC Assessment notice to figure out what your place is worth, stop. That number is already old. The real story is happening right now, and it looks a lot different than what the government is telling you.
The Vibe: What's Actually Happening in Our Neighbourhood
West Point Grey is taking a breather. Growth dipped 0.04% year over year, and transaction volume is thin - only 4 property sales recorded in 2026 so far across the whole neighbourhood. That's not a crash. It's a quiet market. And in a quiet market, knowing your real number matters more than ever.
Houses: Still One of Vancouver's Priciest Addresses
Let's be direct. If you own a house here, we are sitting on some serious real estate. Here's the snapshot:
- Average assessed value: $3,159,713
- Average HonestDoor Price: $3,963,597 - that's 25.44% higher than the city assessment
- Predicted market value: $4,023,560 - and it's trending up from the 3-month average of $4,015,066
- Average sale price in 2026: $3,030,000
- Price per square foot: $1,389
- Estimated monthly rent: $11,147
- Rental yield: 3.11%
- Airbnb potential: $548 per night - ranked 3rd in all of Vancouver
- Growth rank: 6 out of 23 Vancouver neighbourhoods - above average on the leaderboard
- Price rank: 7 out of 22 Vancouver neighbourhoods - above average
Only 1 house sold last month, which keeps things steady but not exactly buzzing. The good news for sellers is that our predicted value is climbing, not sliding. Dunbar Southlands and Arbutus Ridge - our closest neighbours - are both cheaper and growing slower. West Point Grey is still the premium address in this pocket of the city.
Condos: Expensive, But Watch the Trend
The condo picture is a bit more nuanced. We're among the most expensive condo markets in Vancouver - ranked 3rd out of 22 neighbourhoods on price - but growth is a different story. Here's where we stand:
- Average assessed value: $987,759
- Average HonestDoor Price: $1,546,307 - a massive 56.55% above the city assessment
- Predicted market value: $1,547,467
- 3-month moving average: $1,554,415 - the predicted value is dipping below this, worth watching
- Average sale price in 2026: $1,080,000
- Price per square foot: $952
- Estimated monthly rent: $5,152
- Rental yield: 2.83%
- Airbnb potential: $257 per night - ranked 7th in Vancouver
- Recent value change: -0.82%
- Growth rank: 16 out of 22 Vancouver neighbourhoods - below average on the leaderboard
Kitsilano condos are running slightly ahead of us at $1,657,363 predicted value, and their growth is a touch faster. Dunbar Southlands and Arbutus Ridge are cheaper. So condo owners here are in a high-price, slow-growth spot right now. That's not a disaster, but it's a reason to pay attention.
The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Is the Number That Actually Matters
Here's the thing about BC Assessment. That number is calculated from data that's already months old by the time it lands in your mailbox. It's a rearview mirror. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using current sales, market shifts, and neighbourhood-level data.
For houses in West Point Grey, the gap between the two is $803,884. Read that again. If you're making any financial decision - refinancing, selling, estate planning, even just bragging rights at a dinner party - and you're using the assessed value, you are working with a number that undersells your property by over $800,000.
For condos, the gap is even more dramatic in percentage terms. The HonestDoor Price of $1,546,307 is 56.55% higher than the $987,759 assessment. That's not a rounding error. That's a completely different financial picture.
The So What: Should You Sell This Summer?
If you own a house in West Point Grey and you've been on the fence, the data gives you a reasonable case to move. Predicted values are ticking up, we rank above average in both price and growth across Vancouver, and our neighbours are cheaper and slower-growing. Buyers who want this specific address - close to UBC, the beach, and top schools - don't have many alternatives at this price point. Low inventory plus a premium location is a decent setup for a seller.
For condo owners, the picture calls for a bit more thought. Values have dipped 0.82% recently, the predicted value is sliding below the 3-month average, and our growth rank of 16 out of 22 puts us in the lower half of the Vancouver leaderboard. That doesn't mean don't sell - it means price it right from day one. Buyers have options, including Kitsilano condos that are priced similarly and growing faster.
Either way, the first step is the same. Pull your HonestDoor Price. Not your assessment. Not what your neighbour thinks their place is worth. Your actual, real-time number. That's where the conversation starts.
