Bayside, Airdrie - September 2026 Real Estate Report

Bayside, Airdrie: Your Neighbour Just Got a Raise. Did You?

If you live in Bayside and you haven't checked your home's value lately, you're probably leaving money on the table. The numbers are moving, and not in a small way. Here's the real picture - no fluff, no spin.

The Vibe: What's Actually Happening in Our Neighbourhood

Houses - Strong Prices, But Buyers Are Taking Their Time

The average HonestDoor Price for a house in Bayside sits at $696,514, up 1.75% from the previous period. That's real, measurable equity growth for most of us on the street. The predicted market value comes in at $684,510, which is trending up from the 3-month moving average of $674,554 - a sign that momentum is building, not fading.

Sales data tells an interesting story. The average sale price hit $726,445 this month, up 23.9% from last month. But here's the catch - homes are sitting on the market for an average of 42 days, which is longer than nearby Canals at 32 days. Buyers have options right now, and they know it. Homes are selling at 99.06% of list price, so the gap between asking and getting is razor thin - but it's still there.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $696,514 (up 1.75%)
• Predicted Market Value: $684,510
• Average Sale Price This Month: $726,445
• Price Per Square Foot: $409
• Average Days on Market: 42
• Sale-to-List Ratio: 99.06%
• Estimated Monthly Rent: $3,199 (rental yield of 5.27%)
• Total Transactions in 2026: 70 - ranked 3rd in all of Airdrie

On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Bayside houses rank 8 out of 42 for price in Airdrie - meaning we're among the most expensive neighbourhoods in the city. Growth rate ranks 25 out of 48, which puts us in the middle of the pack. There's room to climb, but we're not sliding either.

For landlords or anyone thinking about renting out, a 5.27% rental yield is genuinely solid. That's not a number you see everywhere in Airdrie right now.

Condos - Affordable Entry Point, But Patience Required

The condo picture is a bit different. The average HonestDoor Price is $329,405, which has dipped 3.45% from the previous period. The predicted market value is $341,161, up slightly from the 3-month moving average of $337,101, so there's a floor forming here - but it's not a sprint.

Only one condo sold this month, and it sat on the market for 144 days. That's a long time. Condos in Bayside rank 17 out of 18 for days-on-market in Airdrie, which means if you're selling a condo here, you need to price it right from day one. The one that did sell went for $240,000 - below the average listing price of $249,900 - and closed at 96.04% of list price.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $329,405 (down 3.45%)
• Predicted Market Value: $341,161
• Average Sale Price This Month: $240,000
• Price Per Square Foot: $352
• Average Days on Market: 144
• Sale-to-List Ratio: 96.04%
• Estimated Monthly Rent: $1,808 (rental yield of 4.12%)
• Total Transactions in 2026: 2

On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Bayside condos rank 23 out of 26 for price - among the most affordable in Airdrie. If you're a buyer, that's actually interesting. If you're a seller, it means your pricing strategy matters more than ever.

The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment

Here's something most Bayside homeowners don't think about until it's too late. Your city assessment is a snapshot from months ago - sometimes longer. It doesn't know that house prices in Bayside jumped 23.9% in a single month. It doesn't adjust in real time. It's basically a photo of your house from last year being used to describe what it looks like today.

The HonestDoor Price is different. It pulls from current market activity - actual sales, current listings, price-per-square-foot trends - and updates continuously. For houses in Bayside, that means a current read of $696,514, which is already higher than what comparable homes sold for in Bayview ($622,000). That gap is real money, and your tax assessment almost certainly isn't reflecting it yet.

If you're making any financial decision - refinancing, selling, even just curious about your net worth - the HonestDoor Price is the number to start with. Not the one on your assessment notice.

The "So What?" - Thinking About Selling This Summer?

For house sellers, the timing is genuinely interesting right now. Prices are up, Bayside ranks 3rd in all of Airdrie for total transaction volume, and buyers are still paying very close to list price. The 42-day average days-on-market tells you that buyers aren't panicking - but they are buying. Price it right, and you'll sell. Price it high and wait, and you'll feel those 42 days.

Bayside also holds its own against every nearby neighbourhood on price. Bayview, Canals, and Baysprings all come in cheaper on HonestDoor Price. That premium is a real selling point - use it.

For condo sellers, summer is a chance to reset. One sale in a month is a thin market, and 144 days on market is a signal that buyers have choices. If you're serious about selling, come in sharp on price from the start. Chasing the market down is a worse outcome than pricing it to move on day one.

Bottom line - Bayside is one of Airdrie's busier, pricier neighbourhoods, and that's not an accident. If you haven't looked at your HonestDoor Price recently, now is the time. The market is moving. Your assessment is not.
