What this means if you are looking here
Houses sit at the top of what Kitsilano costs — about 266% above the entry point here. That gap is worth sitting with before you start looking. Some buyers stretch for it and are glad they did; others find that the same money in a neighbouring area buys more space than the address is worth to them. There is no right answer, only the one that fits how you actually live.
It is down 3.5% over the year, but the wider market is down 7%, so houses here have held up about 3.5 points better than Vancouver as a whole. It came off another 0.5% just in the last month. If you own a detached in Kitsilano, that is genuinely reassuring. If you are buying at $2.61M, it means you should not expect the discounts you may have read about citywide to show up in this pocket.
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 Kitsilano homes listed near $2.61M on the same street can have quite different long-term value for reasons that never appear in a listing photo. A Walk Score of 88 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 Kitsilano against somewhere else, or wondering what yours would fetch against this $2.61M 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.
