BC Assessments has published its property assessments for July 2022 and while the Comox Valley was not represented among the highest-valued homes in the province, there are still some local gems.

Home sweet Hornby home
A Hornby Island resident boasts the No. 3 valued property in the Comox Valley.
The home at 745 Central Rd. comes in at $4,824,000, although 77 per cent of that is the land itself. The 46.5-acre lot is valued at $3,727,000, with a three-bedroom, three-bath, 2,500 sq. ft. rancher on the property.
Orchard Park beauty
On the other side of Filberg lodge from the No. 2 house, the property at 60 Orchard Park Dr. comes in at No. 4 on the list. This 6,709 sq. ft., two-storey custom-built home features four bedrooms, five baths, on 1.371 acres. It is valued at $4,640,000.
