Lions Bay’s current for-sale market is small and selective, with 15 active listings showing a median asking price of $2,098,000, averaging $946 per square foot, and sitting on the market an average of 144 days so far—signals of premium pricing and patient, negotiation-friendly conditions. Housing across the city ranges from older, smaller hillside homes to larger view properties and newer custom builds nearer the waterfront and main corridors, with value often tied to ocean views, access, and lot characteristics. With only 3 new listings in the past 30 days, inventory is turning over slowly, so buyers and investors may find more leverage on longer-listed homes while standout properties can still command firm asks.
