Property Insights FAQs

Similar homes are provided to give you the most relevant information about properties you're interested in.

We consider many different data points when finding similar homes, and the calculation changes depending on the property type and location. We also take into account things like number of beds and square footage to give you the best results possible.

Providing you with good, reliable data is really important to us. To do that we aggregate data points from a variety of sources including both public (BC Assessment) and commercial sources.

To ensure we are providing you with the most reliable property and market information, we never make changes to the data unless it's been validated by an official source.

To update information, please contact BC Assessment directly at the following link: https://www.bcassessment.ca/property/faqs

Zoning is a restriction on the way land within its jurisdiction can be used. For information about zoning for your property, contact your local municipality.

A Parcel ID or PID is a nine-digit number that uniquely identifies a property. For more information on Parcel ID visit BC Land Title and Survey.

We do not display market averages if there's not enough data to provide reliable market information.

Check the format of the address - if it’s being entered correctly, you should see a list of suggested addresses appear as you start typing.

If you still can’t find your property, it’s likely one of two things. Either your home is in a geography we do not cover, or your home is less than three months old.
