Your 2026 Assessment: Looking in the Rearview Mirror
Your 2026 BC Assessment notice arrived, showing values down about 8% across the Lower Mainland. Here's what you need to know: your assessment is not your home's current market value.
By law, BC Assessment bases their numbers on July 1, 2025. That was six months ago. Since then, interest rates changed, inventory shifted, and buyer confidence improved.
