If you've been glancing at your city assessment and feeling pretty good about your property value, it's time to have an honest conversation. The numbers on the ground in Country Hills Village tell a different story than what the city is saying - and knowing the difference could save you from a costly mistake this summer.
We're seeing houses in Country Hills Village cool off. The average sale price sits at $402,500, down 1.1% from last month. Homes are selling at 98.41% of list price, which means buyers are negotiating - and winning. Only 1 house sold recently, and while that's a thin slice of data, the direction is clear. Prices are drifting down.
The silver lining? Our houses sell fast. Days-on-market ranks 13th out of 77 comparable neighbourhoods in Calgary. That means when a well-priced home hits the market here, it moves. The catch is "well-priced" - overpriced listings are sitting.
On the affordability side, we rank 215th out of 220 neighbourhoods in Calgary for price. That's not a bad thing if you're a buyer. If you're a seller, it means we're competing at the entry-level end of the market, and buyers have options.
Condos are showing more life. The average sale price jumped to $325,467, up 16.8% from last month, and 3 units sold - up 50% from the month before. That said, buyers are still paying below list at 97.75%, so it's not a runaway seller's market. Think of it as a market finding its footing.
Condo growth ranks 106th out of 216 neighbourhoods in Calgary - that puts us in the above-average half of the city. Not leading the pack, but not falling behind either. And like houses, condos here sell quickly - ranking 14th out of 72 comparable neighbourhoods for days on market. Speed is one thing we've got going for us.
Here's the thing most homeowners in Country Hills Village don't realize. The city's assessed value for houses is $421,737. The HonestDoor Price - which pulls from real, current market activity - is $392,167. That's a gap of over $29,000, and the HonestDoor Price is 7.01% lower than the city average assessment.
For condos, the gap is even wider. City assessment says $325,754. The HonestDoor Price says $285,531. That's a difference of over $40,000 - and the HonestDoor Price is 12.35% below the assessed value.
Why does this matter to your wallet? Because if you price your home based on the city's number, you're starting from a figure that the actual market has already moved past. Buyers and their agents are looking at real-time data. You should be too.
The HonestDoor Price is updated regularly using live transaction data. The city assessment is a snapshot from months ago. In a market that's shifting - like ours is right now - that lag can cost you time on market and negotiating power.
If you're a house owner eyeing a summer sale, here's the straight talk. The market is cooling. Prices are down slightly, the predicted value of $397,166 is below the 3-month average of $400,050, and neighbourhood growth sits at just 0.02% year over year. On the Calgary neighbourhood leaderboard, Country Hills Village ranks 180th out of 236 for growth. That's below average, and it's honest.
The good news is that homes here sell fast when priced right. Fifteen days on market is genuinely impressive. Price sharp, not high, and you'll find a buyer quickly. Price based on the old assessment and you'll be doing price reductions by August.
If you own a condo, the picture is a bit brighter. Sales activity picked up, and the condo market here ranks above average in Calgary for growth. Rental demand is real too - $1,530 per month in estimated rent and a 4.22% yield means investors are paying attention. That's your buyer pool if you're selling.
One more thing worth knowing - the nearby neighbourhoods of Harvest Hills and Panorama Hills are carrying HonestDoor Prices of $605,771 and $683,617 respectively for houses. Country Hills Village at $392,167 is significantly more affordable, which means move-up buyers priced out of those areas may well be looking at our streets. That's a real opportunity if you position your listing correctly.
Bottom line - check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else. It's the real-world number, not the government's best guess from last year.
