If you have been glancing at your city assessment and thinking that is the full story, it is not. Cambrian Heights is doing better than that piece of paper suggests, and the numbers back it up. Here is the real breakdown for anyone who owns a home here or is thinking about making a move.
Let us split this into two conversations, because houses and condos are telling very different stories in Cambrian Heights right now.
The average sale price for a house here just hit $883,125 - that is up 10.4% from last month. Listings are sitting at $973,000 on average, and the price per square foot is around $675. So yes, prices are climbing. But here is the nuance: homes are selling at 98.16% of list price, which means buyers are still getting a small discount off the ask. That is not a red flag - it is just a sign that pricing your home right matters more than ever.
Homes are averaging 27 days on market. That is a bit slower than nearby Highwood, where properties are moving in 19 days. The market is not stalling - it is just taking a breath. With only 4 sales recorded this period, we are working with a tight inventory, which tends to keep prices propped up.
That growth rank is worth pausing on. Sitting at 16 out of 233 neighbourhoods puts Cambrian Heights houses in the top 7% of Calgary for price growth right now. That is a leaderboard stat most neighbourhoods would love to have.
The condo picture here is interesting. The HonestDoor Price for condos in Cambrian Heights is sitting at $965,686 - that is a high number for a condo anywhere in Calgary. The predicted market value is even higher at $1,003,741, which is up from the 3-month moving average of $996,948. So values are creeping upward even though the HonestDoor Price dipped 3.79% from the previous period.
The Airbnb rank for condos here is 25 in all of Calgary - that is genuinely impressive and worth noting if you are thinking about short-term rental potential. Estimated rent comes in at $3,744 per month, though the rental yield of 3.31% is more modest than what we see on the house side.
Here is something most homeowners in Cambrian Heights do not realize. The city assessed the average home here at $845,899. The average HonestDoor Price is $869,194. That is a gap of roughly $23,000 - and it is not a rounding error. It is a real-world difference between a static government snapshot and a live estimate that moves with the market.
City assessments are calculated using data that is already months old by the time it lands in your mailbox. The HonestDoor Price pulls from current sales, current listings, and current market movement. With 721 properties assessed in Cambrian Heights this year and 27 transactions already recorded in 2026, there is enough real activity here to make that live number meaningful.
The HonestDoor Price for houses is also running 2.75% above the average Calgary assessed value. That gap is your neighbourhood premium - and your assessment does not capture it in real time. If you are making any financial decision tied to your home's value, the HonestDoor Price is the number to start with.
If you own a house in Cambrian Heights and have been sitting on the fence, the data is giving you a reasonable green light. Prices are up sharply month-over-month, the predicted value is climbing above the 3-month average, and your growth rank puts you in elite company across Calgary. The window where buyers are still willing to pay close to list price is open right now - but 27 days on market and a slight cooling versus Highwood suggest that window is not unlimited.
Pricing it right is the whole game. With listings averaging $973,000 but sales closing around $883,000, there is a clear message from buyers: they are paying attention. Come in sharp, and you will move it. Come in greedy, and you will sit.
For condo owners, the story is a bit more patient. Values are still growing and the Airbnb potential here ranks among the best in the city. If you are not in a rush, holding through the summer while the predicted value continues to climb toward that $1,003,741 mark could make sense. If you need to move, the market is not punishing you - just know that buyers have options nearby in Highwood and Rosemont.
Bottom line - Cambrian Heights is performing well. Check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else. It is the most current read on what your home is actually worth today, not what the city thought it was worth last year.
