Ambleside West Vancouver real estate board
The real estate market in West Vancouver was so surprising in the last several years. Specialists kept talking about a market crash, but the real estate prices kept going up. Although the prices may have dropped a bit, the market prices just registered a correction, not a crash. Numbers don’t lie, so we will go over the median prices of the active real estate listings.
There are right now 29 MLS-listed apartments with an average price of almost $1 million. Next on the list are single-family houses, 20 listed at an average price of $3.45 million. The townhouses are listed at a price of $1.92 million and there is only 1/2 duplex listed at the price of $2.3 million. The average price of a detached dwelling is listed for about $2.2 million.
Although Ambleside is considered a luxurious neighborhood, the prices are not that spicy. Right now, the real estate market is experiencing a correction, that’s why the prices have dropped a bit. Analyzing the MLS HPI prices, for the detached dwellings all-time the high price was registered in February 2018 at $2.6 million. Since then, the real estate listings prices kept dropping, but they started to go up again in December 2020, the average price in January 2021 being at $2.36 million. For the apartments, the prices are pretty steady. In June 2018 the average price of an apartment was $848.000 and in January 2021 dropped to $746.000.
You can easily find the home of your dreams if you check the District Real Estate Board.

The services offered by a real estate agent are free as they are getting their part directly from the owner of the house. Real estate professionals will find their clients the best properties that fit their needs and wants. You don’t have anything to lose since it’s a free service.
Always check all the MLS listings available and make sure to compare them. Make a list of what your family needs and what are your family wants. This way, you won’t spend too much money on some facilities you may not need. Also, if you don’t have kids yet and would like to have them in the near future consider that as an extra expense and select a home that would most likely suit the needs of a whole family.
Ambleside is for sure one of the best neighborhoods in West Vancouver. It is also a pretty expensive one, even if the prices have dropped a bit. There are a lot of apartments and townhouses you can choose from.
The average price of an sq ft for a 1500 sq ft townhouse is around $970. Apartments are also great in Ambleside as they are not that expensive and offer beautiful views as well. There are luxurious properties as well, but the paradox is that Ambleside is one of the most affordable neighborhoods in West Vancouver. You don’t actually have to be above the average salary to be able to afford to buy or to rent an apartment or a townhouse in Ambleside.
As we saw before, the market was expected to crash a long time ago by experts. Even if it didn’t happen when they expected it to happen, the real estate prices experienced some sort of price drop. Now it is a good time to buy and even if you get bored of the place, which is highly unlikely, you can sell it at a better price later.
