Dalhousie, Calgary - July 2026 Real Estate Report

Dalhousie Real Estate Check-In: Your Neighbour's Assessment Is Lying To You

If you own a home in Dalhousie and you've been glancing at your city assessment thinking it tells the whole story, it doesn't. The real numbers are more interesting - and more useful - than what the city mailed you. Here's what's actually going on in our corner of northwest Calgary right now.

The Vibe: Houses vs. Condos in Dalhousie

Houses - Catching a Breath

Let's be straight with each other. The house market here is taking a breather. The average sale price for houses sits at $502,800 this month, which is down 32.2% from last month. That's a big swing, but with only 5 sales recorded, one or two outlier properties can move that number dramatically. Don't panic over it.

The more telling signal is that homes are sitting on the market for an average of 24 days. That's actually faster than Ranchlands at 36 days, so buyers are still showing up. They're just being a bit more careful. The average sale is closing at 98.17% of list price, meaning sellers are giving up a small slice but not getting hammered.

• Average house sale price: $502,800
• Average list price: $349,900
• Price per square foot: $407
• Average days on market: 24
• Sale-to-list ratio: 98.17%
• Properties sold this month: 5
• Predicted market value: $733,279
• 3-month moving average: $723,724 (trending up)
• Estimated monthly rent: $3,385
• Rental yield: 5.19%
• Recent value change: 1.17%
• Growth rank: 110 out of 233 Calgary neighbourhoods - above average

Condos - The Quiet Overachiever

Here's the one that surprises people. Dalhousie condos are punching well above their weight. Sale prices are up 22.1% from last month to $294,500, and the predicted market value sits at $586,676 - up from a 3-month average of $569,264. That's a real upward trend, not noise.

On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Dalhousie condos rank 24 out of 216 Calgary neighbourhoods for growth. That puts us in the top 11% of the city. Most people in Dalhousie have no idea their condo is outperforming the vast majority of Calgary. And compared to nearby Varsity, Ranchlands, and Edgemont condos? We're the most expensive of the group - and still selling faster than both Ranchlands and Varsity.

• Average condo sale price: $294,500
• Average list price: $399,000
• Price per square foot: $306
• Average days on market: 32
• Sale-to-list ratio: 98.37%
• Properties sold this month: 2
• Predicted market value: $586,676
• 3-month moving average: $569,264 (trending up)
• Estimated monthly rent: $2,128
• Rental yield: 4.05%
• Recent value change: 4.13%
• Growth rank: 24 out of 216 Calgary neighbourhoods - top performer

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

Here's the thing about city assessments - they're a snapshot from months ago, built on broad formulas, not your actual street. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using current market activity. That difference matters, especially right now.

For houses in Dalhousie, the average city assessment is $751,293. The HonestDoor Price is $730,510 - about 2.77% lower. That gap is your reality check. If you're pricing a home based on your assessment, you may be starting the conversation in the wrong place.

For condos, the gap is even more dramatic - and in the other direction. The average city assessment is $288,055. The HonestDoor Price is $554,767. That's 92.59% higher than what the city has on record. If you own a condo in Dalhousie and you're basing any financial decisions on that assessment number, you are significantly underestimating what you actually own.

The HonestDoor Price also shows a 5.44% dip for condos from the previous period, which is worth watching. It doesn't mean the sky is falling - the predicted value is still climbing - but it's the kind of early signal that only shows up when you're looking at live data instead of a government form that arrives once a year.

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

If you're a house owner in Dalhousie and you're thinking about listing this summer, the window is open but it's not wide open. Buyers are active - 24 days on market is solid - but they're negotiating. You're likely leaving about 1.8% on the table from list price. Price it right from day one and you'll move it. Price it based on your assessment and you'll sit.

If you own a condo here, the story is genuinely good. You're in a top-performing segment of the Calgary market, your predicted value is trending up, and you're outselling condos in Varsity and Ranchlands on speed. A rental yield of 4.05% also means that if you're not ready to sell, holding and renting is a real, income-generating option at roughly $2,128 per month.

For both property types, the move right now is simple - check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else. Not your assessment. Not what your neighbour sold for two years ago. The live number, today, so you know exactly where you stand heading into the summer market.

• Dalhousie house HonestDoor Price: $730,510 (down 0.38% from last period)
• Dalhousie condo HonestDoor Price: $554,767 (down 5.44% from last period)
• Total neighbourhood transactions in 2026: 134 (95 houses, 39 condos)
• Total properties assessed: 3,472
• Neighbourhood year-over-year growth: 0.01%

Dalhousie isn't the flashiest name in Calgary real estate right now. But the numbers - especially on the condo side - tell a story worth paying attention to. Check your HonestDoor Price, know your real number, and make your next move with actual information.
