Property owners on the North Coast can expect to pocket more from the sale of their homes, with property values on the rise.
BC Assessment has assessed the value of single-family homes in Prince Rupert, Port Edward, Masset, Daajing Giids and Port Clements. All five communities saw a rise in property values with Port Clements and Port Edward seeing the largest jumps.
Assessments were based on typical values for a single-family home as of July 1, 2025.
In Port Edward, value is up 16 per cent from its average value in 2025 of $286,000 which is nearly a $50,000 increase. Port Clements is up 18 per cent from $194,000 in 2025 for a $36,000 increase.
Daajing Giids saw the third largest increase in the region at eight per cent from $396,000, which is a $32,000 increase. Masset also saw an eight per cent increase but 2025 values were $232,000 for a $19,000 increase. Prince Rupert saw the smallest increase at three per cent from 2025’s $417,000 value for a $12,000 increase.
There are resources for people who are confused or need more information, said BC Assessment Deputy Assessor Jarret Krantz.
“Property owners can find valuable information on our website including answers to many assessment-related questions, and those who feel that their property assessment does not reflect market value as of July 1, 2025 or see incorrect information on their notice, should contact BC Assessment as indicated on their notice as soon as possible in January.” said Krantz.
“If a property owner is still concerned about their assessment after speaking to one of our appraisers, they may submit a Notice of Complaint by February 2, for an independent review by a Property Assessment Review Panel.”
