If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs around White Rock and wondering whether the market is moving or stalling, here's the straight answer: it depends on what you're selling. Houses and condos are telling two very different stories this year, and your city assessment is almost certainly not telling you either one.
Let's start with houses. The average sale price sits at $1,549,333, and that number has barely budged from last month. Only 3 houses sold in 2026 so far, which is a thin slice of data - but the predicted market value of $1,934,278 is actually sliding slightly below the 3-month moving average of $1,960,275. Values have dipped 0.83% recently. The house market here is taking a breather. If you own a house in White Rock, we're not in freefall - but we're not in a sprint either.
Condos are a different story. We saw 4 condo sales this month, and the average sale price jumped 15.3% to $691,725. That is a real move. The predicted market value of $853,045 is actually creeping above the 3-month moving average of $851,393, meaning condo values here are building momentum, not losing it. Recent value change is up 1.72%. For condo owners in White Rock, the wind is at our backs right now.
Here is the number that should get your attention. The city assessed the average White Rock house at $1,739,730. The average HonestDoor Price is $1,948,702. That is a gap of 12.01% - and it is not a rounding error. That gap represents real money sitting between what the government last recorded and what the market is actually doing right now.
For condos, the gap is even wider. Average assessed value: $694,477. Average HonestDoor Price: $846,466. That is 21.89% higher than what your assessment says. Your tax bill is based on that older number. Your actual equity is not.
Government assessments are snapshots frozen in time. The HonestDoor Price updates in real time, pulling from actual transactions and current market signals. If you are making any financial decision - refinancing, selling, even just knowing your net worth - the HonestDoor Price is the real-world check you need, not a number that was calculated months ago and mailed to your door.
White Rock ranks 1 out of 1 comparable neighbourhoods for both growth and price - which means we are the only entry on this particular leaderboard right now. But looking at nearby areas gives us useful context. South Surrey houses are averaging $2,222,329, which is notably higher than White Rock. Ocean Park houses sit at $1,465,733, cheaper than us. Sunnyside is more affordable on both houses and condos.
For condos, Rosemary Heights Business Park edges us out at $897,060 average, while Sunnyside and South Surrey both come in cheaper. Every nearby neighbourhood is showing faster growth than White Rock right now - that is worth keeping an eye on. It does not mean White Rock is in trouble, but it does mean the surrounding areas are gaining ground.
If you own a condo in White Rock and you have been sitting on the fence, this summer is worth a serious look. Values are trending up, the predicted price is above the moving average, and you are sitting on equity that your assessment is almost certainly undervaluing by nearly 22%. That is a strong position to negotiate from.
For house sellers, the picture is more measured. The market is not collapsing - but with only 3 sales recorded and values dipping slightly below the moving average, you want to price sharp and present well. Buyers have options. Your HonestDoor Price gives you an honest starting point so you are not leaving money on the table by anchoring to an outdated assessment, or overpricing yourself out of a thin market.
Either way, the first move is simple: check your HonestDoor Price today. Know what your property is actually worth in this market, not what a government form says it was worth last year.
