Ambleside Real Estate Market Stats and Trends

Ambleside is the most diverse of West Vancouver's neighbourhoods, with active condo, townhome, and detached segments, so the figures below cover all three. As of September 8, 2026, the condo segment carries a median price of $950,000 across 33 active listings, with a median $982 per square foot and 49 days on market. The townhome segment shows a median of $1,624,000 across 4 active listings, with a median $972 per square foot and 142 days on market. The detached segment carries a median of $3,269,000 across 43 active listings, with a median $909 per square foot and 70 days on market.

Ambleside's condo pricing sits well below West Vancouver's municipality-wide condo median of $1,389,450, about 32 percent lower, consistent with the neighbourhood's position as the most accessible entry point into West Vancouver ownership. The detached segment, by contrast, runs modestly below the municipality-wide detached median of $3,650,000, within about 10 percent, reflecting the meaningful premium that waterfront proximity and central Ambleside location command even on comparatively modest lots.

A Market Working Through Elevated Inventory, With Real Variation by Segment

The condo segment has moved from tighter conditions a year ago, with months of inventory ranging from 4.5 to 8.7 in mid to late 2025, to a wider range through the first half of 2026, including spikes to 13.5 and 16 months of inventory in January and March, before easing back to 4.7 months as of August. Monthly sales volume has held reasonably steady, 2 to 7 sales per month over the past year, with June through August 2026 all showing 6 to 7 sales, the strongest stretch of the year. Pricing on active listings has moved higher this month, up from $814,000 in July to $950,000 now, even as days on market lengthened modestly from 45 to 49. Taken together this is a mixed signal worth watching over the next month or two rather than a clean read in either direction.

The detached segment has been more consistently oversupplied, with months of inventory frequently in the double digits and reaching into the high twenties and thirties in several months of 2025. It eased through the spring and early summer of 2026, reaching single digits in three of five months from April through July, before swinging back up sharply to 22 months of inventory in August, a further move favouring buyers. Discounting off list price has been a regular feature, typically in the high single digits to low teens as a percentage of asking in most months with recorded sales, with a single sale in January 2026 closing above asking on an otherwise thin month.

The townhome segment remains structurally thin, 1 to 5 active listings over the past year and sales in most months at zero or one closing. Days on market currently sits at 142, reflecting how few transactions move through this segment rather than any single property sitting unsold for an unusual length of time. Buyers interested in this segment should expect very limited selection and should treat month to month price movement as a function of which specific unit sold rather than a market-wide trend.

How does Ambleside condo pricing compare to the rest of West Vancouver?

Ambleside's condo median of $950,000 sits well below West Vancouver's municipality-wide condo median of $1,389,450, about 32 percent lower. This reflects Ambleside's older, lower-rise condo stock relative to newer construction elsewhere in the municipality, and is consistent with its position as the most accessible entry point into West Vancouver ownership across all three of the municipality's product types.

Is Ambleside a buyer's market or a seller's market right now?

Conditions vary sharply by segment. The condo market has eased to 4.7 months of inventory as of August 2026, closer to balanced conditions, even as pricing on active listings has moved higher this month. The detached segment has moved further toward favouring buyers, with months of inventory widening to 22 in August, up sharply from 9.8 in July, and regular discounting off list price. The townhome segment remains too thin, typically 1 to 5 active listings, to characterize as either a buyer's or seller's market in any given month.
