Greenway-Chaplin, Cambridge - October 2026 Real Estate Report
Greenway-Chaplin Real Talk: The Market Is Taking a Breather - Here Is What That Means for Your Home
The Vibe Right Now
If you have been watching the "For Sale" signs around Greenway-Chaplin lately, here is the honest picture. We are in a softer patch. Both houses and condos have seen values dip from their recent highs, and that matters whether you are thinking about selling, refinancing, or just keeping tabs on your biggest asset.
Houses: Steady, But Cooling
Our houses are holding up better than condos right now. The average HonestDoor Price sits at $633,784 - down 2.90% from the previous period. That is a nudge, not a freefall. The predicted market value comes in a bit higher at $652,686, though that number is also edging down from the 3-month moving average of $653,772. Think of it as the market slowly letting some air out of the tire.
On the neighbourhood leaderboard, our house growth ranks 8 out of 14 comparable Cambridge neighbourhoods. That puts us in the below-average half of the pack - not last, but not leading the charge either.
- Average HonestDoor Price: $633,784
- Predicted Market Value: $652,686
- 3-Month Moving Average: $653,772
- Recent Value Change: -2.90%
- Growth Rank: 8 out of 14 in Cambridge
- Average Rental Estimate: $3,037 per month
- Rental Yield: 5.34% - that is a strong return
- Airbnb Estimate: $151 per night
- Airbnb Rank in Cambridge: 13
The silver lining for house owners? That 5.34% rental yield is genuinely strong. If selling is not on your radar right now, renting is a real option worth running the numbers on.
How do we stack up against the neighbours? Fiddlesticks houses are coming in around $577,493 on the predicted value side, and Lang's Farm sits near $565,923. We are actually priced higher than both on that metric, which tells us Greenway-Chaplin houses carry a premium in the eyes of buyers.
Condos: The Bigger Story to Watch
This is where we need to have a real conversation. Condo values in Greenway-Chaplin have taken a harder hit. The average HonestDoor Price is $553,286, down 12.58% from the previous period. The predicted market value is $632,902, but here is the number that stands out - that is a significant drop from the 3-month moving average of $732,614. A -17.64% recent change is not something to brush off.
On the neighbourhood leaderboard, condo growth ranks 12 out of 14 in Cambridge. That puts our condos near the bottom of the pack right now.
- Average HonestDoor Price: $553,286
- Predicted Market Value: $632,902
- 3-Month Moving Average: $732,614
- Recent Value Change: -17.64%
- Growth Rank: 12 out of 14 in Cambridge
- Average Rental Estimate: $2,606 per month
- Rental Yield: 3.64% - moderate
- Airbnb Estimate: $130 per night
- Airbnb Rank in Cambridge: 6
One bright spot - our condo Airbnb rank of 6 in Cambridge is actually decent. Short-term rental demand is still there, even if long-term values are under pressure.
The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment Right Now
Here is the thing about your city tax assessment - it is a snapshot from the past. It does not know what happened to condo prices in the last quarter. It does not know that house values in Greenway-Chaplin have shifted 2.90% recently. It is essentially a photo from a year or two ago being used to describe what your home looks like today.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using actual market signals. Right now, that gap between your old assessment and your real-world value could be significant - especially for condo owners who may be sitting on a number that no longer reflects current conditions. Knowing your actual HonestDoor Price right now is not just interesting - it is the difference between making a smart move and flying blind.
If your tax assessment still shows a number from a stronger market, do not assume that is what a buyer will pay today. And if you are a house owner, your HonestDoor Price may actually be working in your favour compared to what the city has on file.
The So What - Thinking About Selling This Summer?
For house owners, the picture is cautious but not alarming. Values are softer, but Greenway-Chaplin houses are still priced above nearby Fiddlesticks and Lang's Farm on the predicted value side. If you are thinking about listing this summer, pricing it right from day one is everything. Overpricing in a cooling market means sitting on the listing while buyers scroll past.
For condo owners, the honest answer is that this summer is a tougher window. A -17.64% recent change and a rank of 12 out of 14 in Cambridge means the market is not doing you any favours right now. That does not mean you cannot sell - it means you need to go in with eyes open, a sharp price, and a clear strategy. Waiting for the market to bounce back is a gamble, not a plan.
For everyone in Greenway-Chaplin - house or condo - the first step is knowing your real number. Pull your HonestDoor Price, compare it to what the city has assessed, and you will have a much clearer picture of where you actually stand heading into the summer market.
