Vancouver Neighbourhoods With the Highest Appreciation (2019–2026 Data)
Hindsight is 20/20. Looking at the data from the pre-pandemic era to 2026, the winners are clear. The "exurbs" and lifestyle markets crushed the core.
The Winners
- Squamish: Transformed from a pit-stop to a destination. Prices nearly doubled as remote work made the Sea-to-Sky commute viable.
- Maple Ridge: The quest for affordable detached homes drove massive volume here.
- Tsawwassen: The bridge removal fears faded, and the mega-mall/Sunny weather attracted retirees and families.
The Underperformers
Downtown Condos: While stable, they saw slower growth compared to the suburbs. The shift to larger space favored houses over high-rise boxes.
