Capilano by the numbers

What Capilano homes actually sold for

Every Capilano sale on the MLS® from November 9, 2025 to November 9, 2026, closed or firm and waiting to complete. That's 8 homes. The figures are medians, the middle sale, so one big outlier can't skew them.

Too few sales for a fair median: detached houses (4), condos (4). Josh can pull the individual sales for you.

The longer view: from November 9, 2023 to November 9, 2026, 36 homes sold here, including 14 detached houses at a median of $2,690,000; 19 condos at a median of $1,125,000. Prices moved over those three years, so treat this as context, not today's value.
