Forest Hills Real Estate Market Stats and Trends

Forest Hills is an all-detached single-family market at the upper edge of North Vancouver's hillside development, and it carries the highest detached median price of any neighbourhood in the municipality. As of August 1, 2026, the median sold price sits at $3,689,000 across 10 active listings, with a median of $864 per square foot and a median of 72 days on market.

The Past 12 Months in Forest Hills

Forest Hills recorded 21 detached sales over the past 12 months, close to two per month, which is a slightly more active pace than the neighbouring waterfront communities but still thin enough that individual months vary considerably. Sale prices over that period ranged from $1,680,000 in September 2025 to $5,240,000 in November 2025, a spread that reflects the wide range in lot size, construction era, and view quality that exists within Forest Hills rather than a shift in the neighbourhood's value proposition.

Price per square foot has ranged from $805 to $1,144 over the past year, settling at $822 in the most recent month. Days on market has swung from as little as 1.5 days in May 2026, when a well-positioned property moved almost immediately, to 154 days in July 2025. Inventory has ranged between 5 and 16 active listings over the year and sits at 10 today, with months of supply fluctuating widely, a pattern consistent with a market where turnover is low by design and individual sales carry outsized weight on the monthly figures.

Discount off list price has ranged from a May 2026 low of negative 3.9 percent, meaning that month's sales closed above asking, to a December 2025 high of 14.7 percent. The most recent month, July 2026, closed at a 10.5 percent average discount, in line with the more deliberate, negotiation-friendly conditions that have characterized the upper North Vancouver detached market through the past year.
