Country Hills, Calgary - September 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 pop up around Country Hills this season, here is what is actually happening. The market is taking a breather. Buyers have the upper hand right now, days on market are creeping up compared to our neighbours, and the city's assessment number on your property tax bill is likely overstating what your home would actually sell for today. Let's get into it.

The Vibe: Houses vs. Condos in Country Hills

Houses - Solid, But Buyers Are Calling the Shots

We are sitting in a buyers' market for houses right now. Homes are selling at 98.47% of list price, which means sellers are giving up a little ground to get deals done. The average sale price is $538,833, and listings are currently asking around $567,929 - that gap tells you buyers are negotiating. Properties are averaging 21 days on market, which is longer than both Sandstone Valley at 18 days and Beddington Heights at 20 days. We are not in a freefall, but we are not the hottest street on the block either.

• Average sale price: $538,833
• Average list price this month: $567,929
• Price per square foot: $507
• Sale-to-list ratio: 98.47%
• Average days on market: 21
• Properties sold this month: 6
• Predicted market value: $573,858
• Estimated monthly rent: $2,811
• Rental yield: 5.49%
• Recent price change: -0.59%
• Growth rank: 129 out of 238 Calgary neighbourhoods

On the leaderboard, houses in Country Hills rank 129 out of 238 comparable Calgary neighbourhoods for growth - that puts us in the bottom half. For price, we rank 196 out of 220, meaning we are among the most affordable options in the city. That is actually a selling point if you are trying to attract buyers who have been priced out of Sandstone Valley or Harvest Hills.

The rental story is genuinely good though. A 5.49% rental yield is strong. If you are an investor or thinking about holding rather than selling, the math works in your favour. Estimated rent of $2,811 per month on a predicted value of $573,858 is a return worth paying attention to.

Condos - A Weird Month, So Read This Carefully

The condo numbers need some context. The average sale price jumped 47.2% from last month to $416,667, but only 3 units sold. When volume is that low, one higher-priced sale can swing the average dramatically. Do not read that spike as a trend - it is a small sample doing what small samples do.

• Average sale price: $416,667 (up 47.2% from last month - low volume, treat with caution)
• Average list price this month: $295,000
• Price per square foot: $340
• Sale-to-list ratio: 95.93%
• Average days on market: 20
• Properties sold this month: 3
• Predicted market value: $338,942
• Estimated monthly rent: $1,792
• Rental yield: 4.13%
• Recent price change: -1.02%
• Growth rank: 131 out of 216 Calgary neighbourhoods

Condos are selling at 95.93% of list price, meaning buyers are getting more than 4% off asking. Days on market sit at 20, on par with Beddington Heights but slower than Sandstone Valley. The predicted market value of $338,942 is trending down from the 3-month moving average of $342,958. The market is cooling here too. Growth ranks 131 out of 216 - below average on the Calgary condo leaderboard.

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

Here is the thing about your city assessment. It is a snapshot from months ago, built on a formula that does not know your specific street, your renovated kitchen, or the fact that buyer demand has shifted since that number was calculated. It is a rearview mirror. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using actual market signals.

For houses in Country Hills, the average HonestDoor Price is $579,814. The city's average assessed value is $603,238. That is a gap of nearly $23,500 - or 3.88% - where the assessment is running higher than what the real-world market suggests. If you are pricing a home based on your assessment, you may be starting the conversation in the wrong place.

For condos, the gap is even wider. The average HonestDoor Price is $338,238 against an average assessed value of $387,387. That is a 12.69% difference. The city thinks your condo is worth significantly more than current market data supports. That matters for pricing strategy, for negotiations, and honestly for understanding what you actually own.

The HonestDoor Price for houses is up 1.04% from the previous period. The condo HonestDoor Price is down 0.21%. Those are the real-world signals. The assessment will not catch up until next year.

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

If you are a house owner in Country Hills thinking about listing this summer, here is the straight talk. You are entering a buyers' market. Homes are sitting for 21 days on average and selling below list price. That does not mean you should panic - it means you should price smart from day one. Overpricing based on your city assessment and then chasing the market down with price cuts is the worst outcome. Start with a number grounded in the HonestDoor Price of $579,814 and current comparable sales.

Your biggest advantage right now is affordability. At a price rank of 196 out of 220 Calgary neighbourhoods, Country Hills houses are genuinely accessible compared to most of the city. Buyers who want more space for less money will find us. Make it easy for them to say yes.

If you own a condo and are thinking about selling, be realistic about the predicted value of $338,942. The 47.2% month-over-month sale price jump is noise, not signal - three sales do not make a trend. The 3-month moving average is declining. If you need to sell, price it to move. If you can hold, the 4.13% rental yield means renting it out is a reasonable option while you wait for conditions to improve.

For anyone watching from the sidelines - Country Hills is one of Calgary's more affordable entry points. With 1,057 assessed properties and 46 transactions recorded in 2026, this is an established neighbourhood with real activity. It is not a sleeper hit, but it is not overheated either. That kind of stability has its own value.
