Country Hills, Calgary - August 2026 Real Estate Report

Country Hills, Calgary: Your Home Is Probably Worth Less Than the City Thinks

If you have been watching the "For Sale" signs in Country Hills lately, here is what is actually happening. The city assessed your home at one number. The real world is saying something different. And if you are thinking about making a move this summer, that gap matters a lot.

The Vibe: What Is Happening With Houses and Condos Right Now

Houses - Taking a Breather

Let us be straight with you. The house market in Country Hills is cooling off. The average sale price sits at $350,000 this month, which is down 40.3% from last month. Yes, that number is jarring - but with only 1 house selling this month, a single transaction can swing the average hard. Do not panic, but do pay attention.

• Average sale price: $350,000
• Average list price: $359,000
• Price per square foot: $326
• Sale-to-list ratio: 97.49% - buyers are getting small discounts
• Average days on market: 70 days
• HonestDoor predicted value: $577,253
• 3-month moving average: $580,700 - values are drifting down
• Recent value change: -1.14%
• Estimated monthly rent: $2,826
• Rental yield: 5.49%

Seventy days on market is a long time. On the Calgary neighbourhood leaderboard, Country Hills houses rank 63 out of 77 for days-on-market speed - meaning most neighbourhoods are moving homes faster than we are right now. Sellers need to price sharp or sit and wait.

Condos - A Different Story

Here is where it gets interesting for us condo owners. While houses are sluggish, condos are actually moving fast. Three sales this month, averaging just 15 days on market. Compare that to Sandstone Valley at 18 days and Beddington Heights at 20 days - Country Hills condos are outpacing both neighbours.

• Average sale price: $323,333
• Average list price: $349,900
• Price per square foot: $351
• Sale-to-list ratio: 97.17% - buyers still getting slight discounts
• Average days on market: 15 days
• HonestDoor predicted value: $342,437
• 3-month moving average: $347,593 - also drifting slightly lower
• Recent value change: -1.46%
• Estimated monthly rent: $1,809
• Rental yield: 4.12%

On the Calgary leaderboard, condo days-on-market ranks 12 out of 72 neighbourhoods - that puts us near the top for speed. Demand is real. Prices are just not climbing with it right now.

The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Is the Number That Actually Matters

Here is the thing about your city assessment. It is a snapshot frozen in time. The city looked at your property and locked in a number - but that number does not update when the market shifts, when interest rates move, or when your street gets quiet for a few months.

Right now, the gap between what the city thinks and what the market says is significant.

• Houses - City assessed value: $603,238. HonestDoor Price: $573,858. That is a $29,380 gap - and the HonestDoor Price is down 0.59% from last period.
• Condos - City assessed value: $387,387. HonestDoor Price: $338,942. That is a $48,445 gap - and the HonestDoor Price is down 1.02% from last period.

The HonestDoor Price is the real-world check. It pulls in current transaction data, market trends, and comparable sales to give you a live read - not a government estimate that is already months old. If you are basing any financial decision on your assessment alone, you are working with a blurry map.

Country Hills overall neighbourhood growth sits at 0.03% year over year for houses, and condos actually dipped 0.01%. On the Calgary growth leaderboard, houses rank 161 out of 236 neighbourhoods and condos rank 121 out of 216. We are below average on growth right now. That is not a crisis - it is just the honest picture.

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

If you are a house seller, here is the real talk. You are entering a market where buyers are already paying below list price, homes are sitting for 70 days on average, and values are trending slightly down. That does not mean do not sell - it means price it right from day one. Overpricing and then chasing the market down is the most expensive mistake you can make right now.

If you own a condo and are thinking about selling, your timing is actually better. Fast days-on-market and steady demand give you more leverage than house sellers have right now. Just know that values are also softening slightly, so do not wait too long expecting prices to climb back up.

For anyone thinking about renting instead of selling - the numbers are not bad. Houses are pulling an estimated $2,826 per month with a 5.49% rental yield. Condos are at $1,809 per month with a 4.12% yield. Holding and renting is a legitimate option if you are not in a rush.

Bottom line - check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything. It is free, it is current, and it will tell you where you actually stand. Not where the city guessed you stood eight months ago.
