Townhomes in Central Lonsdale

1ST HALF OF 2026 MARKET UPDATE

Central Lonsdale and North Vancouver

• Townhomes continue to appeal to buyers who want space, lower maintenance, and a more accessible price point

• In June, Central Lonsdale recorded 3 townhome sales out of 20 listings - North Vancouver recorded 29 sales

• Buyers were active, but highly selective about price, layout, condition, and location

What sold in North Vancouver

• The townhomes that sold most successfully tended to offer strong value for money

• Many were either newer, renovated, or offered a larger home for the price

  - Specific pocket areas in desirable locations

North Vancouver Townhome Numbers

• Average sale price was $1,242,288

• Median sale price was $1,225,000

• Homes sold within 96-97.4% of the asking price, people are negotiating, but not heavily discounting homes that feel well-positioned

• Sales were also around 7.7% below tax assessed values - the market is moving forward when the numbers make sense

Why Central Lonsdale was quieter

• The June sales likely reflect a shortage of listings that matched what buyers were looking for

• Buyers seem to be prioritizing homes that combine:
  - A good size
  - Functional layout
  - Updated, or if not up-dated, move-in-ready condition
  - A location that feels worth the price

• In other words, it wasn’t just about having a townhome available — it had to feel like the right townhome, at the right price.
