If you own a home in Brentwood and you haven't checked your HonestDoor Price lately, now is the time. The city's assessment and what buyers are actually doing are telling two different stories right now - and the gap matters for your wallet.
Let's be straight with each other. The house market in Brentwood is cooling off. The average sale price for houses sits at $735,500, which is down 9.9% from last month. Homes are sitting on the market for an average of 119 days - compare that to nearby Varsity where houses are moving in 82 days. That gap tells you something.
Buyers are paying below list price, and homes are sitting. That is the definition of a market taking a breather. If you are a seller, you need to know this going in. If you are a buyer, you have more room to negotiate here than almost anywhere else in the city.
The one bright spot for houses? The predicted market value is $801,251, which is actually trending up against the 3-month moving average of $796,298. So the long-term signal is not bad - it is just the short-term activity that has slowed down. Rental yield for houses is sitting at 5.06%, which is genuinely strong if you are thinking about holding rather than selling.
On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Brentwood houses rank 65 out of 221 Calgary neighbourhoods for growth. That puts us solidly in the above-average tier - not leading the pack, but not falling behind either.
Here is where things get interesting. While houses are slow, our condo market is moving fast. Properties are selling in an average of just 10 days. That is not a typo.
Condos in Brentwood are selling faster than almost anywhere in the city. If you own one and are thinking about listing, that 10-day average is your friend. The condo growth rank sits at 102 out of 207 neighbourhoods - above average, even with a slight recent dip in predicted value.
Here is the thing about your city assessment. It is a snapshot from months ago, built on a formula that does not know what happened on your street last Tuesday. The HonestDoor Price updates in real time using actual transaction data.
For houses in Brentwood, the average assessed value is $791,402. The average HonestDoor Price is $793,446 - sitting 0.26% above the city average assessed value across Calgary. That is a close match right now, but the HonestDoor Price is already reflecting the recent market softness that the next city assessment won't catch for months.
For condos, the gap is bigger and it runs the other way. The average assessed value is $302,035, but the average HonestDoor Price is $278,342 - that is 7.84% lower than the Calgary average assessed value. If you are a condo owner, your city assessment may be overstating what the market will actually pay today. That is a real number that affects how you price, negotiate, and plan.
Waiting for the next annual assessment to understand your home's value is like checking last year's weather forecast before you leave the house. Check your HonestDoor Price now.
If you own a house in Brentwood and want to sell this summer, go in with clear eyes. Buyers are negotiating hard, homes are sitting for nearly four months on average, and the sold-to-list ratio means you should expect offers below your asking price. Price it right from day one. Overpricing right now is the fastest way to become a stale listing.
If you own a condo, the timing is genuinely good. Ten days on market is a signal that demand is real. Prices are up 5.4% from last month. You have leverage that house sellers in the same neighbourhood do not have right now.
For anyone holding either property type as a rental, the numbers support staying in. House rental estimates come in at $3,631 per month with a 5.06% yield. Condo rental estimates sit at $1,493 per month. In a market where selling conditions for houses are soft, renting is a real alternative worth running the math on.
Bottom line - Brentwood is not one market right now. It is two. Know which one you are in before you make your move.
