Bayside, Airdrie - October 2026 Real Estate Report
Bayside, Airdrie: Your Neighbour Just Got a Better Offer Than You Think
If you own a home in Bayside and you haven't checked your actual market value lately, you're probably leaving money on the table. The city's assessment is already old news. Here's what's really going on in our corner of Airdrie right now.
The Vibe: What's Happening With Houses and Condos
Houses - Strong Value, But the Market Is Taking a Breather
The honest picture for houses in Bayside right now is this: values are solid, but buyers have a little more power than they did a few months ago. The average sale price sits at $685,067, which is down 5.7% from last month. Homes are sitting on the market for an average of 56 days, which is noticeably longer than nearby Canals at 32 days. Buyers are also paying about 98% of list price, so the days of getting over-ask without a fight are quieter for now.
That said, we're not in freefall. The predicted market value for houses is $696,281, which is actually climbing above the 3-month moving average of $681,959. And 15 homes sold last month - that's up 36.4% from the month before. So buyers are still showing up. They're just being pickier.
- Average sale price: $685,067 (down 5.7% from last month)
- Average listing price: $659,483
- Price per square foot: $376
- Average days on market: 56
- Sales-to-list ratio: 98%
- Properties sold last month: 15 (up 36.4%)
- Predicted market value: $696,281
- Estimated monthly rent: $3,232
- Rental yield: 5.25%
- Neighbourhood growth rank: 14 out of 47 in Airdrie - above average
- Price rank: 7 out of 42 in Airdrie - one of the priciest neighbourhoods around
- Total transaction rank: 3rd in Airdrie - we move real estate here
On the leaderboard, Bayside houses rank 14th out of 47 Airdrie neighbourhoods for growth. That puts us solidly in the upper tier. And coming in 3rd for total transactions means Bayside is one of the most active markets in the city. People want to be here.
Condos - Affordable Entry Point, But Patience Required
The condo side of Bayside is a different story. Only 1 condo sold last month, and it sat on the market for 144 days. That's the slowest days-on-market rank in Airdrie - 17th out of 17. If you own a condo here and you're thinking about selling, you need to go in with realistic expectations and a sharp price.
The average sale price came in at $240,000, while listings are averaging $249,900. Buyers paid about 96% of list price, so there's room to negotiate. The predicted market value is $329,196, but that's actually dipping below the 3-month moving average of $336,132, which tells us condo values here are softening a bit right now.
- Average sale price: $240,000
- Average listing price: $249,900
- Price per square foot: $352
- Average days on market: 144
- Sales-to-list ratio: 96.04%
- Predicted market value: $329,196
- Estimated monthly rent: $1,750
- Rental yield: 4.15%
- Growth rank: 9 out of 40 in Airdrie - above average
- Price rank: 23 out of 27 - among the most affordable condos in Airdrie
The silver lining: condos rank 9th out of 40 Airdrie neighbourhoods for growth. So even if the short-term numbers are soft, the longer trajectory for Bayside condos isn't bad. And at $352 per square foot with a 4.15% rental yield, there's a real case for holding or renting it out while the market finds its footing.
The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment Right Now
Here's the thing about your city assessment: it's a snapshot from months ago, calculated using broad formulas that don't know your street, your upgrades, or what sold two blocks over last week. It's not wrong exactly - it's just slow.
The HonestDoor Price is the real-world check. For houses in Bayside, the average HonestDoor Price is $714,033, up 2.55% from the previous period. That's higher than both the average sale price and the predicted value, which means the market is pricing Bayside homes with genuine confidence even while month-to-month numbers fluctuate. For condos, the HonestDoor Price is $312,890 - down 4.95% - which is an honest signal that the condo segment needs a realistic pricing strategy right now, not wishful thinking based on an old assessment.
If you're a Bayside homeowner, checking your HonestDoor Price today gives you a live read on where your property actually sits - not where it was six months ago. That's the number that matters when you're deciding whether to sell, refinance, or just figure out if your insurance coverage still makes sense.
The "So What?" - Thinking About Selling This Summer?
For house sellers: the window is still open, but it's not as wide as it was. Homes are taking longer to sell and buyers are negotiating harder. The good news is that Bayside still ranks near the top of Airdrie for price and transaction volume, so demand is real. Price it right from day one - chasing the market down after a stale listing is a painful way to spend your summer. With 77 total property transactions in 2026 already and a 3rd-place ranking for transaction volume in Airdrie, serious buyers are still circling this neighbourhood.
For condo sellers: be honest with yourself. One sale in a month at 144 days on market means competition is low but so is urgency from buyers. If you need to sell this summer, price aggressively and make the unit shine. If you can hold, the rental yield of 4.15% and an estimated $1,750 per month in rent makes keeping it as an income property a legitimate option worth running the numbers on.
Either way, start with your HonestDoor Price. It's the most current number you've got - and in a market that's shifting week to week, current is everything.
