Brentwood, Calgary - August 2026 Real Estate Report

Brentwood Real Estate Check-In: Solid Ground, But the Market Is Catching Its Breath

If you live in Brentwood and you haven't looked at your home's value lately, now is the time. The numbers tell an interesting story - one where houses and condos are moving in different directions, and where your city assessment might already be out of date.

The Vibe: Houses vs. Condos

Houses - Still Strong, But Cooling Off

Let's be straight with each other. House prices in Brentwood took a noticeable dip this month. The average sale price sits at $740,625 - down 8.4% from last month. That's not a crash, but it's a real move. Buyers are paying about 96.78% of list price, which means if you're listing at $764,950, expect offers coming in a bit under that.

• Average sale price: $740,625
• Average list price this month: $764,950
• Price per square foot: $530
• Average days on market: 23
• Properties sold this month: 4
• Sale-to-list ratio: 96.78%

The silver lining? The predicted market value for Brentwood houses is $794,960 - and that number is actually creeping up past the 3-month moving average of $791,631. So the short-term dip in sale prices hasn't dragged down the underlying value estimate. We're in a market that's taking a breather, not falling apart.

On the rental side, houses here are pulling their weight. Estimated rent of $3,612 per month translates to a rental yield of 5.07%. That's a number landlords in a lot of other Calgary neighbourhoods would be happy to see.

On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Brentwood houses rank 108 out of 236 for growth - putting us in the above-average tier in Calgary. Days on market ranks 21 out of 77, which means houses here are still moving faster than most. Price rank is 81 out of 220 - solidly above average.

Condos - Taking Longer, Priced Below Assessment

The condo picture is a bit more complicated, and we should talk about it honestly. Condos are sitting on the market for an average of 56 days - longer than nearby Varsity at 51 days. Only 4 condos sold this month, down 20% from last month. Buyers are paying 94.44% of list price, and the predicted value of $282,524 is actually slipping below the 3-month moving average of $284,568.

• Average sale price: $279,750
• Average list price this month: $296,222
• Price per square foot: $548
• Average days on market: 56
• Properties sold this month: 4
• Sale-to-list ratio: 94.44%

Rental yield for condos comes in at 4.22% - moderate, not spectacular. Estimated rent is $1,521 per month. If you're a condo owner thinking about renting instead of selling, that yield is decent but not a reason to rush.

On the leaderboard, Brentwood condos rank 102 out of 216 for growth - above average. But the days-on-market rank of 48 out of 72 tells you these units are selling slower than most of the city. Price rank is 135 out of 175 - below average for Calgary condos.

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

Here's the thing about your city assessment - it's a snapshot from months ago. It doesn't know what happened in the market last week, or last month. The HonestDoor Price updates in real time, and right now the gap between the two is telling a different story depending on whether you own a house or a condo.

For house owners, the HonestDoor Price is $792,684 - just 0.16% above the average assessed value of $791,402. Those two numbers are almost identical, which actually means your assessment is reasonably current for once. But the HonestDoor Price is still the better tool because it moves with the market daily.

For condo owners, pay close attention. The average assessed value is $302,035, but the HonestDoor Price is $279,745 - that's 7.38% lower. If you're making financial decisions based on your assessment, you may be working with a number that's too optimistic. The HonestDoor Price is the real-world check here, and it's signalling that condo values have softened since the city last looked.

Bottom line: don't wait for next year's assessment to find out where you actually stand. Check your HonestDoor Price now.

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

If you own a house in Brentwood and you're thinking about listing this summer, the window is still open - but it's not as wide as it was a few months ago. Prices dipped this month, buyers are negotiating below list, and the market is moving more cautiously. That said, 23 days on market is still a relatively quick turnaround, and the underlying value estimate is holding firm near $795,000. Price it right from day one. Overpricing right now will cost you more time and more money in reductions.

If you own a condo, be realistic. Fifty-six days on market and a sale-to-list ratio under 95% means buyers have options and they know it. Your HonestDoor Price of $279,745 is a more honest starting point than your assessment. List close to that number, not above it, and you'll attract serious buyers faster.

For both property types, here's the comparison that matters. Varsity condos are averaging $340,273 and Varsity houses are at $1,010,984. Charleswood houses are at $908,781. Brentwood is priced more accessibly than its neighbours, which is actually a selling point for buyers who've been priced out of those areas. Lead with that when you list.

• Best move for house sellers: Price at or just below $794,960 to attract quick offers
• Best move for condo sellers: Use the HonestDoor Price of $279,745 as your anchor, not the $302,035 assessment
• Rental alternative for condos: $1,521 per month at 4.22% yield is a reasonable hold strategy if you're not in a rush
• Rental alternative for houses: $3,612 per month at 5.07% yield is genuinely strong if selling feels premature

Brentwood is a neighbourhood that holds its value. We're not in freefall - we're in a recalibration. The homeowners who come out ahead this summer will be the ones who price with current data, not last year's assessment.
