BC Assessment reports the northwest’s largest property value increase over is in Houston, where single-family homes are now an average of $160,000 (a 10.63% bump from 2016). On the opposite end of the spectrum, the average home value in Granisle dropped by over 19% to $42,000.

It also found that, overall, the Northern region’s total assessment roll has gone by 1.9%. That equates to an increase from $59.2 billion last year to $60.3 billion this year.

Deputy Assessor David Keough notes the bump is likely due to new construction, subdivisions, and rezoning of properties.
