Market Overview – 2026

West Vancouver remains one of the most prestigious residential markets in Canada, offering exceptional ocean views, expansive estates, and some of the most desirable neighbourhoods in Metro Vancouver.

Detached home prices in 2026 typically range from approximately $2.3 million to over $25 million, depending on location, lot size, view, and architectural quality.

In areas such as Horseshoe Bay, Lions Bay, Furry Creek, and Whytecliff, older homes on standard lots may begin around $1.8 M–$3.5M, while newer or view properties command significantly higher prices.

Westmount and the British Properties continue to be among the most sought-after neighbourhoods due to their panoramic ocean and city views, large private lots, and proximity to top schools. Homes in these areas generally range from $4M to $20M+, with premier estates exceeding that.

Dundarave remains a charming seaside community offering walkability, boutique shops, restaurants, and beach access. Typical lot sizes are around 7,500–8,000 square feet, with home prices commonly ranging from $3M to $8M+, depending on proximity to the water and quality of construction.

Ambleside offers central convenience with quick access to Downtown Vancouver via Lions Gate Bridge. Detached homes typically range from $2.5M to $7M+, while waterfront and custom residences command higher values.

Neighborhoods such as Altamont, Caulfield, Rockridge, and Cypress offer larger estate properties, often on 12,000–30,000+ square foot lots. These areas provide privacy, mature landscaping, and expansive luxury homes, with pricing generally ranging from $5M to $18M+, depending on view and lot size.

Lot size and view significantly impact pricing. Water-facing homes command substantial premiums — often $1M–$5M+ more than comparable properties without direct ocean views. South-facing ocean views remain the most valuable.

Unlike many other markets, secondary suites are less common in West Vancouver’s luxury segment, as the area is primarily composed of high-net-worth homeowners and estate-style properties.

For buyers and sellers in West Vancouver, strategic pricing and presentation are essential. The market is sophisticated, and positioning plays a critical role in achieving optimal results.
