"Our prices are holding up, but the market is quietly sliding - and your tax assessment is not telling you the full story."
If you've been watching things closely in Deerfoot Business Centre, here's what's actually happening. The average HonestDoor Price for houses sits at $1,638,277 - up 1.74% from the previous period. That sounds like good news on the surface, and it is, sort of.
But here's the part we need to talk about. The predicted market value right now is $1,610,254, and that number is sliding below the 3-month moving average of $1,676,377. In plain terms, the short-term trend is pointing down. Values have shifted by -6.51% recently. That is not a cliff, but it is a signal worth paying attention to.
On the rental side, we are actually sitting in a decent spot. A $5,506 monthly rental estimate with a 4.44% yield means this neighbourhood still makes sense as an income property. And that Airbnb rank of 26th in all of Calgary? That is a quiet strength most people in our neighbourhood are not talking about.
Here is why you should pull up your HonestDoor Price today instead of waiting for your next city assessment. The city's assessed value is a snapshot from the past - often many months old by the time it lands in your mailbox. It does not know that our 3-month moving average just dropped to $1,676,377, or that the predicted value is now sitting at $1,610,254.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. It reflects what buyers are actually doing right now, not what they were doing last year. If you are making any financial decision - refinancing, selling, even just figuring out if your insurance coverage makes sense - the HonestDoor Price is the number that actually matches the current market. Your tax assessment is a historical document. Your HonestDoor Price is a live read.
Let's be straight with each other. On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Deerfoot Business Centre ranks 232 out of 236 Calgary neighbourhoods for growth right now. That puts us near the bottom of the pack. That is not a reason to panic, but it is a reason to move with intention if selling is on your mind.
Compared to nearby neighbourhoods, Skyline West is priced around $489,977 and Skyline East around $478,200. We are in a completely different price category at $1,638,277 - which means our buyer pool is smaller and more specific. Calgary International Airport nearby is even higher at $3,407,813, so we are not the ceiling, but we are not a starter neighbourhood either.
If you are thinking about listing this summer, here is the honest take:
Bottom line - if selling is the plan, price it right and move now. If holding is the plan, the income numbers give you a reasonable cushion while you wait for the market to find its footing again.
