If you live on a quiet street in Alison and you haven't checked your home's value lately, here's the honest truth: the market is moving, and your city tax assessment is almost certainly not keeping up. Let's break down what's actually happening for houses and condos in our corner of Cambridge.
The average HonestDoor Price for a house in Alison sits at $647,217, up 0.68% from the previous period. That's not a fireworks show, but it's a market that's holding its ground. The predicted market value is $642,836, which is sitting just below the 3-month moving average of $649,446 - a signal that prices are taking a small breather after a run-up. Nothing alarming. Just a market catching its breath.
Here's the stat that should get your attention on the leaderboard: Alison houses rank 2 out of 14 neighbourhoods in Cambridge for growth. That means we're outperforming almost every comparable area in the city. That's not a small thing.
For context, our closest neighbours are priced higher - East Galt averages $697,143, Christopher-Champlain sits at $672,424, and Greenway-Chaplin comes in at $657,689. Alison is still the more affordable entry point in this cluster, which matters a lot for buyer demand.
If houses are the steady performer, condos in Alison are the one turning heads. The average HonestDoor Price is $801,252, up 2.08% from the previous period. The predicted market value is $784,907, and here's the number that really stands out - that's up sharply against a 3-month moving average of $667,146. Condo values in Alison have moved 27.99% recently. That is not a typo.
On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Alison condos rank 3 out of 14 in Cambridge for growth. Above average across the board. And with an Airbnb rank of 2 in all of Cambridge, if you own a condo here and you're not at least thinking about short-term rental income, it's worth a conversation.
Here's the thing about your city assessment: it's a snapshot from the past. It's calculated on old data, updated on a slow government schedule, and it has zero interest in what the market is doing on your street right now. The HonestDoor Price is a real-time check on what your home is actually worth today - not what a bureaucrat estimated two years ago.
With Alison houses ranking 2nd in Cambridge for growth, there's a real chance your current assessment is underselling your property's value. That gap between what the city says your home is worth and what a buyer would actually pay today - that's money left on the table if you don't know it exists. Your HonestDoor Price closes that gap.
Summer is when buyers are active, motivated, and ready to move. Here's what the numbers are telling us for Alison right now.
For house owners, you're sitting in a top-2 growth neighbourhood in Cambridge. Demand from buyers priced out of East Galt and Christopher-Champlain is real - those neighbourhoods are running $25,000 to $50,000 higher on average. Alison is where those buyers look next. That's your advantage this summer.
For condo owners, the story is even sharper. A 27.99% recent price change and a top-3 growth ranking means the window to sell at a strong price is open right now. Markets that move fast can also correct fast. If selling has been on your mind, waiting for "a better time" is a gamble when the data already looks this good.
Bottom line: check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else. It takes two minutes and it gives you the real-world number - not the government's best guess from last year. Know what you have before you decide what to do with it.
