If you have been watching the "For Sale" signs in Windsor and wondering what is actually going on with prices, here is the straight answer: the market is taking a breather. Values are drifting down, the city's assessment numbers are running hot compared to reality, and if you are making any big decisions this summer, you need the right number in your hand first.
Let's break down what we are actually seeing on the ground for each property type.
The average house in Windsor is selling for around $1,780,000, and the price per square foot sits at $1,266. That is a solid number, but the direction matters - the predicted market value of $1,817,422 is sliding below the 3-month moving average of $1,825,755. Values have shifted by -0.51% recently. The market is not in freefall, but it is not climbing either.
On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Windsor houses rank 23 out of 36 in Burnaby for growth - that puts us in the below-average tier right now. Where we do stand out is price: rank 12 out of 35, which means Windsor is still one of the higher-priced pockets in the city. You are paying a premium to live here, and buyers know it.
Condos in Windsor are a different story, and not entirely a good one. The average sale price is $625,000 with a price per square foot of $774. But the predicted market value sits at $573,930, which is already below the 3-month moving average of $580,024. Values have dropped -2.16% recently - that is a steeper slide than what we are seeing on the house side.
On the leaderboard, Windsor condos rank 20 out of 37 in Burnaby for growth, and 16 out of 26 for price - below average on both counts. Nearby Oakalle condos are actually selling for more ($720,000 average sale price) and the predicted value there ($644,625) is higher too. That is worth knowing if you are comparing options.
Here is the thing about your BC Assessment notice: it is a snapshot from July 1st of last year. The market has moved since then, and in Windsor, it has moved down. That gap between what the government says your home is worth and what a buyer would actually pay today? It is real, and it is costing some homeowners their decision-making clarity.
For houses, the average assessed value in Windsor is $1,911,569. The average HonestDoor Price is $1,789,212 - that is $122,357 lower, or 6.40% below the city's figure. For condos, the assessed value averages $603,475 while the HonestDoor Price comes in at $574,284 - about 4.84% lower. The HonestDoor Price updates in real time using actual transaction data. It is the real-world check against a number that was already stale the day you opened the envelope.
If you are using your assessment to decide whether to sell, refinance, or even just feel good about your equity position, you may be working with a number that flatters you on paper but does not reflect what a buyer will offer at the table.
If selling is on your mind, here is what the data is telling us right now in Windsor.
Transaction volume is thin - only 5 house transactions and 5 condo transactions recorded in 2026 so far. That low activity cuts both ways. There are fewer comparable sales to anchor your price, which gives you some room to position well, but it also means fewer buyers are actively pulling the trigger in this neighbourhood right now.
Neighbourhood growth is down 0.04% year over year for houses and 0.05% for condos. That is not a crash, but it is a signal that waiting for prices to bounce back before listing may not be the winning strategy this season.
The rental numbers are worth a look too. Houses are pulling an estimated $6,278 per month in rent and condos around $2,769. If selling feels rushed, holding and renting is a real option - the yields are moderate but the income is there.
Bottom line for Windsor homeowners: price it sharp, use your HonestDoor Price as your anchor, and do not let a government assessment from last July convince you the market is somewhere it is not. The buyers you want are doing their homework. You should be too.
