If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs pop up around Big Springs this summer, here's what's actually happening. The market is taking a breather on the house side, but the numbers still tell a story worth paying attention to - especially if you're thinking about making a move.
We saw 13 houses sell in Big Springs recently, which is down 13.3% from last month. That slowdown is real, but don't panic. The average sale price came in at $380,538, and homes are sitting on the market for about 31 days before selling. Buyers are paying around 96.4% of the asking price, which means if you list at $400,000, expect offers closer to $385,000. That gap matters when you're doing the math on your next move.
The price per square foot is holding at $331, and the predicted market value for houses sits at $424,057 - up from the 3-month moving average of $415,960. That upward trend in predicted value is a quiet signal that the fundamentals here are still pointing in the right direction.
That growth rank is worth calling out. On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Big Springs houses land in the top 40% of Airdrie for value growth. We're not leading the pack, but we're ahead of more than half the city. And ranking 4th for total transactions means this is one of the most active neighbourhoods in Airdrie - buyers are still showing up here.
The condo side of Big Springs is a different story. Only 1 condo sold recently, with an average sale price of $150,000 and a price per square foot of $233. The predicted market value sits at $207,453, but that number is actually sliding - it's down from the 3-month moving average of $219,542, and recent value change is -6.97%. That's a dip worth noting if you own a condo here.
On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Big Springs condos rank 26 out of 40 for growth in Airdrie - below average. They're also among the slowest-selling condos in the city, ranking 11 out of 17 for days on market. The one upside? If you're a buyer, this is one of the most affordable condo options in all of Airdrie, ranking 26 out of 27 for price.
Here's the thing about your city assessment - it's a snapshot from months ago, sometimes longer. It doesn't know that the house two streets over just sold, or that predicted values in Big Springs are climbing. It's a static number in a market that moves every week.
The HonestDoor Price is the real-world check. For houses in Big Springs, the average HonestDoor Price is $431,358 - up 1.72% from the previous period. That's a live number, recalculated using actual transaction data from your neighbourhood and the ones around it. If your tax assessment says one thing and the HonestDoor Price says another, the HonestDoor Price is almost always closer to what a buyer would actually pay you today.
For condo owners, the HonestDoor Price of $206,931 is actually down 0.25% - a small dip, but one your assessment won't reflect until next year. Knowing that now gives you time to plan instead of being surprised.
If you own a house in Big Springs and you're thinking about listing this summer, the window is open - but it's not wide open. Buyers are active here (remember, we rank 4th in Airdrie for transaction volume), but they're also negotiating. Pricing sharp from day one matters more than it did a year ago. A home sitting for 31 days before selling is fine, but a home that sits for 60 days starts to get questions.
The predicted value of $424,057 trending above the 3-month average is a green light signal. Values are moving up, not down. If you wait until fall, you're betting that trend holds. If you list now, you're selling into a market that's still moving.
For condo owners, the honest answer is that the timing is trickier. Values are sliding against the 3-month average, and the growth rank puts Big Springs condos in the bottom half of Airdrie. If you need to sell, price it to move. If you can hold, watch the next 60 to 90 days before deciding.
Either way, pull your HonestDoor Price before you call an agent. It takes 30 seconds and it means you walk into that conversation knowing your number - not guessing at it.
