If you live in Harvest Hills and you haven't checked your HonestDoor Price lately, now is the time. Things are shifting, and the numbers on your tax assessment are not telling you the full story.
Let's be straight with each other. Harvest Hills is taking a breather. Both houses and condos are seeing values drift lower, and the city's assessment numbers are starting to look more like wishful thinking than reality. Here's the breakdown.
If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs in Harvest Hills, here's what's actually happening with houses right now.
Three sales in a month tells us the market is quiet. Buyers have options and they know it. At 41 days sitting on the market before selling, we are not in a bidding-war situation. That said, a 5.43% rental yield is genuinely strong - if you are holding a house here as an investment, the rental math still works in your favour.
The condo side of Harvest Hills is a different story. One sale last month. That's it. Here's the full picture.
One sale is not enough data to panic over, but the trend is clear. Condo values are drifting lower and days on market are creeping up. The 4.11% rental yield is moderate - not bad, but not a slam dunk either. On the neighbourhood leaderboard, our condos rank 125 out of 216 for growth. We are in the bottom half, and that is worth knowing.
Here is the thing about your city assessment. It is a snapshot taken months ago, based on data that is even older. It does not know what happened to the market last month. Your HonestDoor Price does.
Right now, the gap between what the city thinks your home is worth and what the market will actually pay is significant.
If you are a condo owner, that 12.17% gap is a real-world check you need to see before you make any decisions. The HonestDoor Price updates in real time. Your tax assessment does not. One of these numbers reflects today's market. The other reflects yesterday's optimism.
Here is the honest advice a good friend would give you over the back fence.
If you own a house in Harvest Hills and you are thinking about selling this summer, the window is not closed - but it is narrowing. Values are down 1.37% recently, homes are sitting for 41 days, and buyers are getting deals below list price. You are not in a desperate situation, but you are also not holding all the cards. Price it right from day one. Overpricing right now will cost you time and money.
If you own a condo, the conversation is harder. A 23.8% month-over-month drop in sale price is a big number, even accounting for low volume. At 47 days on market and a growth rank of 125 out of 216, the condo market here is slow. If selling is not urgent, it may be worth waiting to see if summer brings more buyers into the pool. If you need to sell, be aggressive on price and make the listing stand out.
For both property types, check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else. It is the real-world number - not the one the city mailed you last spring.
Bottom line - Harvest Hills is a solid neighbourhood with real rental income potential and a strong community base. But right now, the market is telling sellers to be realistic and telling buyers to negotiate hard. Know your actual numbers before you make a move.
