Highwood, Calgary - July 2026 Real Estate Report

Highwood Is Quietly Outperforming - Here Is What Your Home Is Actually Worth Right Now

If you live in Highwood and you have not checked your home value lately, you are probably leaving money on the table. The city's assessment says one thing. The real market is saying something else entirely - and the gap is worth knowing about.

The Vibe: What Is Happening in Our Neighbourhood

Highwood is not making headlines, but it is putting up solid numbers. With 829 properties assessed and 26 transactions recorded in 2026, this is a neighbourhood with real activity behind it. Here is how houses and condos are each telling their own story right now.

Houses: Fast-Moving and Holding Value

If you have been watching the "For Sale" signs in Highwood, here is what is actually happening on the house side. Homes are selling in an average of just 13 days. That is not a slow market - that ranks us 14th out of 76 comparable neighbourhoods in Calgary for speed. Buyers are not sleeping on Highwood houses.

• Average sale price: $1,204,333
• Average list price this month: $1,650,000
• Price per square foot: $655
• Sale-to-list ratio: 98.48% - buyers are paying just under asking
• Average days on market: 13
• Predicted market value: $715,083 - up from the 3-month average of $698,964
• Estimated monthly rent: $3,331 with a rental yield of 5.22%
• Recent value change: 2.84%
• Growth rank: 38 out of 233 neighbourhoods in Calgary
• Price rank: 70 out of 220 - above average for Calgary

That 98.48% sale-to-list ratio tells us we are in a buyers' market on paper, but 13 days on market tells a different story. Homes that are priced right are not sitting. The predicted value trending up past the 3-month moving average means momentum is on the seller's side heading into summer.

Condos: A Sellers' Market With Top-Tier Rankings

The condo picture in Highwood is genuinely impressive. One condo sold at 106.02% of list price - meaning the buyer paid over asking. That is a sellers' market signal you cannot ignore. We rank 34th out of 216 Calgary neighbourhoods for condo growth, and 26th out of 173 for price. That puts Highwood condos in elite company.

• Average sale price: $530,000
• Average list price this month: $499,900
• Price per square foot: $324
• Sale-to-list ratio: 106.02% - buyers are paying over list
• Average days on market: 19
• Predicted market value: $1,077,427 - up from the 3-month average of $1,056,371
• HonestDoor Price: $1,110,017 - up 3.02% from the previous period
• Estimated monthly rent: $4,264 with a rental yield of 2.91%
• Airbnb rank in Calgary: 18th - near the top of the city
• Recent value change: 3.09%
• Growth rank: 34 out of 216 neighbourhoods in Calgary
• Price rank: 26 out of 173 - among the most expensive in Calgary

That Airbnb rank of 18th in all of Calgary is a number worth sitting with. If you own a condo in Highwood and you are not thinking about short-term rental potential, someone else already is.

The Secret Sauce: Your HonestDoor Price vs. That Government Assessment

Here is the thing about your city assessment. It is a snapshot taken months ago, using data that is already old by the time it lands in your mailbox. The average assessed value in Highwood sits at $694,825. The average HonestDoor Price is $729,719 - that is 5.02% higher than the assessed value, and it has already moved up 2.05% from the previous period.

That gap is not a rounding error. On a home in this price range, 5% is real money. The HonestDoor Price pulls in current market activity, recent sales, and live listing data to give you a real-world check on what your home is worth today - not what a government formula calculated last year. If you are making any financial decision tied to your home's value, the assessment is the wrong number to use.

The "So What?" - Should You Sell in Highwood This Summer?

Short answer: the conditions are better than most people realize. Here is the case for moving this summer.

• Houses are selling in 13 days - serious buyers are active right now
• Condo buyers are paying over asking - that is rare and it will not last forever
• Highwood ranks 38th out of 233 Calgary neighbourhoods for house growth - we are on the leaderboard
• Predicted values are trending up from the 3-month moving average for both property types
• Your HonestDoor Price is already running ahead of the city's assessment - meaning you likely have more equity than you think

Compared to nearby neighbours, Cambrian Heights is slightly pricier but growing slower. North Haven is more affordable and growing a touch faster on the house side. Highwood sits in a solid middle ground - established enough to hold value, active enough to attract buyers quickly.

If you are thinking about selling, the window this summer looks real. Check your HonestDoor Price first. Know your actual number before you call anyone.
