What this means if you are looking here
This is the most affordable way into West End, and I do not mean that as a consolation. The West End address, the same shops, the same catchment — a condo buys all of it for about 47% less than a house here. If you love the neighbourhood and the house number is out of reach, this is the honest answer to that problem.
It is down 9.7% over the year against 7.5% for the region, so West End has softened faster than the wider market. It came off another 0.9% just in the last month. I would rather tell you that plainly than let you find it out later. For a buyer, $601K 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.
The number that matters most on a condo is rarely the asking price. It is the depreciation report, the contingency reserve, and whether the building has a special levy coming. Two units on the same floor of two different buildings can both be listed near $601K in West End and be a very different decision. I read the minutes before you write an offer, every time. With a Transit Score of 88, plenty of people here genuinely do not need a car, and that changes what you can afford in a way the sticker price does not show.
If you are trying to work out whether a particular West End condo is worth its asking price against this $601K benchmark — or what yours would fetch today — 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.
