Country Hills, Calgary - October 2026 Real Estate Report
Country Hills, Calgary: Your Neighbour Just Got a Reality Check on Their Home Value
If you have been watching the "For Sale" signs pop up in Country Hills this season, here is what is actually happening. The market is taking a breather. Prices are softer than the city's official numbers suggest, and if you are making any decisions based on your tax assessment alone, you are working with stale data. Let's break it down.
The HonestDoor Price vs. Your Assessment - Why It Matters Right Now
The city assessed the average Country Hills house at $603,094. But the HonestDoor Price - which pulls from real-world sales activity and current market signals - puts that same house at $570,347. That is a $32,747 gap. For condos, the gap is even wider: assessed at $387,213, but the HonestDoor Price sits at $340,489. That is a difference of nearly $47,000.
Your tax assessment is a snapshot from months ago. The HonestDoor Price is the real-world check against that frozen number. If you are pricing a home to sell, or even just figuring out your net worth, the HonestDoor Price is the number that actually reflects what a buyer would hand you a cheque for today.
The Vibe - Houses vs. Condos in Country Hills
Houses
We saw 4 houses sell this period - down 33% from last month. The average sale price came in at $403,500, which is down 25.1% from the previous month. That is a big swing, and with only 4 sales, one or two lower-priced deals can move that number significantly. Do not panic, but do pay attention.
- Average sale price: $403,500
- Average list price this month: $567,929
- Price per square foot: $381
- Sold-to-list ratio: 98.47% - buyers are getting slight discounts
- Average days on market: 21 days
- Predicted market value (HonestDoor): $579,668
- 3-month moving average: $576,830 - values are nudging upward
- Estimated monthly rent: $2,833
- Rental yield: 5.48% - that is a strong return
Houses here are sitting 3 days longer than in Sandstone Valley (18 days) and a day longer than Beddington Heights (20 days). That tells us buyers have a little more breathing room than they did a few months ago. The good news? Our growth rate ranks 67 out of 221 Calgary neighbourhoods. That puts us in the top third of the city leaderboard - above average, and holding our own against tougher competition.
On price, we rank 213 out of 221 neighbourhoods - which means Country Hills houses are among the most affordable in Calgary. For buyers, that is a feature. For sellers, it means you need sharp pricing to compete.
Condos
The condo side of Country Hills is steadier. Three condos sold this period, essentially flat from last month. The average sale price landed at $416,667, with listings averaging $295,000. Buyers paid 95.93% of list price, so there is a bit of negotiating room here too.
- Average sale price: $416,667
- Average list price this month: $295,000
- Price per square foot: $340
- Sold-to-list ratio: 95.93%
- Average days on market: 20 days
- Predicted market value (HonestDoor): $338,055
- 3-month moving average: $339,697 - values are dipping slightly
- Estimated monthly rent: $1,788
- Rental yield: 4.13% - moderate, but still positive
Condo values slipped 0.21% recently, and the predicted value is trending just below the 3-month average. It is not a freefall - it is a soft patch. Our condo growth rate ranks 78 out of 207 Calgary neighbourhoods, which still puts us above average on the city leaderboard. On price, condos rank 66 out of 175 - above average for Calgary, which means we are not a bargain-bin neighbourhood.
Compared to nearby areas, Beddington Heights condos are priced significantly higher (HonestDoor Price of $904,322), while Harvest Hills ($345,993) and Sandstone Valley ($419,325) are closer to our range. Country Hills condos are holding a competitive middle ground.
The Neighbourhood Leaderboard - Where Country Hills Stands
Here is how we stack up against the neighbours on the things that matter most to your wallet:
- Sandstone Valley - HonestDoor Price $606,465, rental $2,955, growth 0.04% - slightly pricier, growing a touch faster
- Harvest Hills - HonestDoor Price $602,728, rental $2,928, growth 0.02% - similar price, growing slower
- Beddington Heights - HonestDoor Price $527,286, rental $2,636, growth 0.02% - more affordable, growing slower
Country Hills sits in a reasonable spot. We are not the most expensive, and we are not the cheapest. Our growth rate of 0.03% year over year is modest, but it is positive - and that matters when Beddington Heights is only at 0.02%.
The So What - Thinking About Selling This Summer?
Here is the straight talk for anyone considering listing in Country Hills this summer.
For house sellers - the market is softer than it was. Buyers are taking a few more days to decide, and they are negotiating. The sold-to-list ratio of 98.47% means you can still get close to your asking price, but only if you price it right from day one. Overpricing will cost you time, and time on market sends the wrong signal to buyers. Your HonestDoor Price of $579,668 is the number to anchor your strategy around - not the city's assessment of $603,094.
For condo sellers - the predicted value is dipping slightly below the 3-month trend. That does not mean wait forever, but it does mean a well-priced listing will move in about 20 days. Price it sharp, and you will find a buyer. The rental yield of 4.13% also means investors are still interested - that is a real pool of potential buyers for your unit.
For anyone on the fence - 49 house transactions and 14 condo transactions so far in 2026 tells us this is not a ghost town, but it is not a frenzy either. Serious buyers are still active. If your life circumstances say sell, this summer is workable. Just go in with current data, not last year's assessment.
Check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else. It takes 30 seconds and it will save you from pricing your home based on a number the city calculated before the market shifted.
