What this means if you are looking here
Townhouses land in the middle of Shaughnessy's range, between $991K and $4.82M. That middle is often the most competitive part of a neighbourhood, because it is where two sets of buyers meet: people moving up from a condo and people who have decided a house is more than they want to maintain.
It is down 10.6% over the year against 6% for the region, so Shaughnessy has softened faster than the wider market. It came off another 4.1% just in the last month. I would rather tell you that plainly than let you find it out later. For a buyer, $1.68M 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.
Townhouses are the thinnest slice of the Vancouver market, and Shaughnessy’s $1.68M benchmark moves on relatively few sales — so treat month-to-month wobbles as noise rather than signal. The practical consequence is that when the right one comes up in Shaughnessy, there often is not a second option to compare it against. That is worth knowing before you are standing in one deciding in an afternoon.
Townhouse listings in Shaughnessy come up rarely enough that it helps to be ready before one does. If you want to talk through what $1.68M realistically buys here, or what yours is worth now, just ask. No obligation, and I will tell you if I think you should wait.

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.
