Bayview, Calgary - October 2026 Real Estate Report
Bayview, Calgary: Your Home Is Worth More Than the City Thinks - But the Market Is Taking a Breather
The Vibe Right Now
If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs in Bayview, here's what's actually happening. This is one of Calgary's most expensive neighbourhoods - top 6 out of 221 for house prices, top 2 out of 175 for condos. But prices have dipped recently, and that matters if you're thinking about making a move this summer.
Houses: Fast-Moving, But Softening
The one house that sold in Bayview recently went for $1,686,000. Listings are sitting at $1,699,900 on average right now. Buyers paid 99.18% of list price - so they're getting a small discount, and that puts us in buyers' market territory. The good news? When a house does list here, it moves. Days on market ranks 1 out of 82 neighbourhoods in Calgary. That means Bayview houses sell faster than almost anywhere else in the city.
- Average sale price: $1,686,000
- Average list price: $1,699,900
- Price per square foot: $565
- Sale-to-list ratio: 99.18% - buyers are paying just under ask
- Average days on market: 1 day
- Days-on-market rank: 1 out of 82 in Calgary - fastest in the city
- Price rank: 6 out of 221 in Calgary - among the most expensive
- Predicted market value: $1,708,841
- 3-month moving average: $1,740,963 - values are trending down
- Recent price change: -2.13%
- Growth rank: 201 out of 221 - near the bottom of the leaderboard
- Estimated monthly rent: $6,082
- Rental yield: 3.92%
That growth rank is the number to watch. Sitting at 201 out of 221 neighbourhoods, Bayview houses are not leading the pack on appreciation right now. Values are down 2.13% recently, and the predicted value of $1,708,841 is below the 3-month moving average of $1,740,963. The market here is cooling - not crashing, but cooling.
Condos: Pricey, Fast, and Also Softening
Bayview condos are a different story in terms of price point - and a surprising one. The average HonestDoor Price for a condo here is $1,290,253, which actually ticked up 1.26% from the previous period. That's a bright spot. But the one condo that sold recently went for $885,000, well below the average listing price of $935,000. Buyers paid 94.65% of list - a bigger discount than on houses - which tells us condo buyers here have some negotiating room.
- Average HonestDoor Price: $1,290,253 - up 1.26%
- Average sale price: $885,000
- Average list price: $935,000
- Price per square foot: $338
- Sale-to-list ratio: 94.65% - buyers are getting a real discount
- Average days on market: 15 days

- Price rank: 2 out of 175 in Calgary - near the top
- Predicted market value: $1,274,169
- 3-month moving average: $1,292,384 - trending down
- Recent price change: -2.61%
- Growth rank: 152 out of 207 - below average on the leaderboard
- Estimated monthly rent: $4,953
- Rental yield: 2.57%
- Airbnb rank in Calgary: 14
How Bayview Stacks Up Against the Neighbours
Every nearby neighbourhood is cheaper than Bayview for houses. Pump Hill averages $1,470,430, Chinook Park sits at $1,023,974, and Palliser comes in at $771,741. All three are also growing slower than us - though at 0.06% year-over-year growth, we're not exactly sprinting ahead either. The point is, Bayview holds its premium. You're paying for the address, and so is the next buyer.
The Secret Sauce: Your HonestDoor Price vs. Your Tax Assessment
Here's something worth knowing before your next property tax bill lands. The city's average assessed value for a Bayview house is $1,623,903. The average HonestDoor Price is $1,689,395. That's a gap of roughly $65,000 - and the HonestDoor Price is 4.03% higher than what the city is using as its benchmark across Calgary.
Government assessments are snapshots taken months in the past. They don't update when the market shifts. The HonestDoor Price pulls from real-time sales data and current market signals, so it reflects what a buyer would actually pay today - not what a city appraiser estimated last year. If you're making any financial decision based on your home's value - refinancing, selling, even just knowing your net worth - the HonestDoor Price is the number to start with.
So What Does This Mean If You're Thinking About Selling This Summer?
Straight talk: the window is still open, but it's not as wide as it was a few months ago. Values are down 2.13% for houses and 2.61% for condos recently. The 3-month moving averages are both trending lower. Sitting at 201 out of 221 on the growth leaderboard means Bayview is not leading Calgary's recovery right now.
The saving grace is speed. Houses here sell in roughly 1 day. Condos move in about 15 days. Both rank among the fastest in the city. That means demand is still real - buyers just have a little more leverage on price than they did before.
If you're selling a house this summer, price it sharp. The 99.18% sale-to-list ratio tells you buyers aren't paying over ask. Come in tight to market value and you'll move fast. If you're selling a condo, expect buyers to negotiate harder - that 94.65% ratio means they know they have room to push.
Bottom line: Bayview is still one of Calgary's most expensive and desirable addresses. But right now, the market is the buyer's friend, not the seller's. Price accordingly, move quickly, and check your HonestDoor Price before you set that list price - not after.
