What this means if you are looking here
Houses are the only property type with enough sales in Arbutus Ridge for the index to track, which tells you something in itself: this is a detached neighbourhood, and if you are looking for anything else here you will be waiting for the rare listing rather than choosing between several.
It is down 10.8% over the year against 7% for the region, so Arbutus Ridge has softened faster than the wider market. It came off another 1.2% just in the last month. I would rather tell you that plainly than let you find it out later. For a buyer, $3.11M is a better entry than it would have been a year ago. For an owner thinking about selling, it means pricing to today rather than to what a neighbour achieved eighteen months ago.
With a house, a good part of what you are buying is the lot, and lots are where the differences hide: frontage, lane access, what the zoning would let you or a future owner build. Two Arbutus Ridge homes listed near $3.11M on the same street can have quite different long-term value for reasons that never appear in a listing photo. A Walk Score of 93 on detached stock is unusual — most areas trade walkability away as lots get larger, and this one has not.
If you are weighing a house in Arbutus Ridge against somewhere else, or wondering what yours would fetch against this $3.11M benchmark, just ask me. No obligation and no sales pitch — I would rather you had a real number and a straight answer than a good feeling about an index.

What is a benchmark price, and is it the same as an appraisal?
No — a benchmark is not an appraisal. The MLS® Home Price Index models a typical property for an area and property type, which makes it a good way to track a market over time, but it values no particular home. For that you need a comparative market analysis on the actual property, which Aparna provides at no cost.
Want the number for an actual property?
A benchmark tracks a market; it does not value a home. A comparative market analysis looks at the specific property — its size, condition, outlook, and what comparable homes actually sold for. Aparna Kapur prepares one at no cost and no obligation.
