Cambrian Heights, Calgary - September 2026 Real Estate Report

Cambrian Heights, Calgary: Your Neighbour Just Got a Surprise - Here's What the Numbers Actually Say

The Vibe Right Now

If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs on your street, here's what's actually happening. Cambrian Heights is a tale of two markets right now - and which side of it you're on depends entirely on what you own.

The neighbourhood has 721 assessed properties and saw 36 transactions in 2026. That's not a flood of activity, but the deals that are happening are moving fast. We're talking an average of 16 days on market for houses - quicker than nearby Highwood at 19 days. When homes are selling that fast, it tells you demand is real.

Houses: Strong Demand, But Watch the Trend Line

Houses here are selling, and selling quickly. But there's a nuance worth knowing before you get too excited.

• Average sale price this month: $810,500 - up 35.1% from last month
• Average list price: $824,900
• Price per square foot: $664
• Sale-to-list ratio: 98.80% - buyers are paying just under asking
• Average days on market: 16 days
• Only 3 sales this month - so that 35.1% jump is based on a small sample

That 35.1% month-over-month jump sounds massive. And it is - but with only 3 sales, one higher-priced home can move that needle a lot. Don't read it as a runaway market. Read it as: the homes that are selling are good ones, and they're moving fast.

The predicted market value for houses sits at $851,726. Here's the catch - that number is sliding. The 3-month moving average is $860,706, and recent property value change is down 2.01%. On the neighbourhood leaderboard, house growth ranks 193 out of 238 Calgary neighbourhoods. That puts us near the bottom tier for price growth right now. The market is taking a breather.

The silver lining? Days-on-market rank is 15 out of 82 comparable neighbourhoods. That means we sell faster than almost everyone. Demand is there - prices are just finding their level.

For rental investors, the numbers are solid. Estimated rent of $3,741 per month on a house delivers a rental yield of 5.01%. That's a strong return by Calgary standards.

Condos: The Quiet Outperformer

Here's something most people on the street don't know - condos in Cambrian Heights are quietly crushing it.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $992,492 - up 0.25% from last period
• Predicted market value: $990,016
• 3-month moving average: $986,481 - and the trend is going up
• Recent value change: +2.52%
• Growth rank: 33 out of 216 Calgary neighbourhoods - top tier
• Estimated rent: $3,779 per month
• Rental yield: 3.29%
• Airbnb rank in Calgary: 25th - near the top of the city

While houses are cooling slightly, condos here are climbing. A growth rank of 33 out of 216 puts us in the top 15% of Calgary neighbourhoods for condo appreciation. That Airbnb rank of 25th in the city is also worth noting if you're thinking about short-term rental income - $188 per month in estimated Airbnb potential on top of long-term rental options gives owners flexibility.

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

Here's the thing about your city assessment - it's a snapshot from the past. The city looks at sale data from a specific window and applies it broadly. It doesn't know what happened on your street last month, or that a comparable home two blocks over just sold for more than expected.

The HonestDoor Price updates in real time. For houses in Cambrian Heights, the average assessed value is $845,899. The average HonestDoor Price is $849,649 - that's 0.44% higher than the city's average assessed value across Calgary. It's not a massive gap here, but in a market where values are shifting month to month, that difference is real money.

For condos, the HonestDoor Price is $992,492 and trending up. If you're a condo owner still thinking your place is worth what the city said it was worth at assessment time, you're likely leaving money on the table in a conversation with a buyer - or a lender.

Think of the HonestDoor Price as the real-world check. The assessment is what the government thinks. The HonestDoor Price is what the market is actually doing right now.

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

If you own a house in Cambrian Heights and you're thinking about listing this summer, here's the honest read: you're in a fast-moving market with real buyer demand, but price growth is soft. Homes are selling in 16 days on average, which means a well-priced listing won't sit. The key word is "well-priced." With a sale-to-list ratio of 98.80%, buyers are negotiating - not overpaying. Price it right from day one.

If you own a condo, the story is better. Values are rising, the growth rank is strong, and the HonestDoor Price is nearly $1 million. If you've been sitting on the fence, the trend is working in your favour right now.

For anyone comparing us to the neighbours - Rosemont houses are predicted at $702,923, which is notably lower than our $851,726. Highwood is cheaper still. Cambrian Heights holds its value relative to the area, even in a softer growth period.

Bottom line: check your HonestDoor Price before you call an agent, before you refinance, and before you assume the city's number is the right number. In a market moving this fast, last year's assessment is already old news.
