Clairfields, Guelph - September 2026 Real Estate Report

Clairfields, Guelph: Your Neighbours Are Sitting on More Than They Think

The Vibe Right Now

If you live in Clairfields and you haven't checked your home's value lately, you're probably leaving money on the table - at least in terms of knowing what you actually own. The numbers coming in for summer 2025 tell a pretty clear story: this neighbourhood is holding strong, and in some spots, it's quietly climbing.

Let's break it down by what you own.

Houses: A Sellers' Market That Means Business

Here's the stat that should get your attention. The one house that sold in Clairfields recently went for 105.87% of its list price. That means the buyer paid above asking. In a market where a lot of Ontario neighbourhoods are watching deals fall through or prices get chipped away, Clairfields houses are still pulling offers over list.

• Average sale price: $741,000
• Average listing price this month: $699,900
• Price per square foot: $581
• Average days on market: 7
• HonestDoor Price (average): $928,641 - up 0.49% from last period
• Predicted market value: $924,145 - up from the 3-month average of $906,298
• Estimated monthly rent: $4,008
• Rental yield: 4.81%

Seven days on market is fast. That tells us buyers are ready to move when something good hits in Clairfields. And the growth rank? Houses here sit at number 1 out of 22 comparable neighbourhoods in Guelph. That's not a typo - we're at the top of the leaderboard right now.

Condos: The Quiet Climber

Condos in Clairfields are doing something interesting. The HonestDoor Price jumped 6.33% from the previous period - that's a real move, not just noise. And when you compare us to nearby neighbourhoods, Clairfields condos are priced higher than the competition, which reflects what buyers are actually willing to pay to be here.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $621,151 - up 6.33%
• Predicted market value: $584,152
• 3-month moving average: $590,476
• Estimated monthly rent: $2,884
• Rental yield: 3.68%
• Airbnb estimate: $150 per night
• Growth rank: 4 out of 23 neighbourhoods in Guelph

The predicted value is slightly below the 3-month average, so condos are taking a small breather on the valuation side. But a top-4 growth rank out of 23 Guelph neighbourhoods? We're still well ahead of most of the city.

The Secret Sauce: Why Your Tax Assessment Is Already Outdated

Here's the thing most Clairfields homeowners don't realize. The city's property assessment is a snapshot from the past - sometimes years old. It doesn't know what happened on your street last month. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling in actual sales data, market shifts, and neighbourhood trends as they happen.

For houses, the HonestDoor Price is sitting at $928,641 - nearly $200,000 above the average sale price recorded this period. That gap matters. It's the difference between knowing what your home is worth today versus what the government last guessed it was worth. If you're making any financial decision tied to your home - refinancing, selling, even just planning - the HonestDoor Price is the number you want in your hand, not the assessment notice in your drawer.

Condos tell a similar story. A 6.33% jump in the HonestDoor Price means the real-world value of Clairfields condos has moved significantly. Your assessment almost certainly hasn't caught up yet.

So What Does This Mean If You're Thinking About Selling This Summer?

Short answer: the timing is decent, and Clairfields has the data to back up a strong list price.

For house sellers, you're in a neighbourhood ranked number 1 for growth in Guelph right now. Homes are selling in a week and going over asking. That's not a market where you need to discount to get a deal done. A well-priced house in Clairfields this summer should attract serious buyers quickly.

For condo sellers, the picture is a little more nuanced. Values are still growing and the neighbourhood ranks in the top 4 in the city, but the predicted value has dipped slightly below the recent 3-month average. That means pricing it right matters more than it did six months ago. You're not in a bad spot - you're just not in a "list it and watch the offers pile up" moment the way house sellers are.

Either way, the first step is the same: check your HonestDoor Price before you call an agent, set a list price, or make any assumptions based on what your neighbour sold for two years ago. The market has moved. Your number probably has too.
