Highwood, Calgary - October 2026 Real Estate Report
Highwood, Calgary: Your Neighbour Just Got a Better Price Than the City Thinks
The Vibe Right Now
If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs on your street, here's what's actually happening in Highwood. The market is split depending on what you own - and the difference is pretty striking.
Houses: Taking a Breather
Let's be straight. The house market in Highwood is cooling off. Only 3 homes sold this month, sitting on the market for an average of 53 days. Compare that to nearby North Haven where homes are moving in 38 days, and you can feel the difference. Buyers here are negotiating - homes are selling at 93.46% of list price on average, which means if you list at $749,000, expect offers closer to $700,000.
- Average sale price: $631,667
- Average list price this month: $749,000
- Price per square foot: $511
- Average days on market: 53
- Sold-to-list ratio: 93.46% - buyers are winning negotiations
- Predicted market value: $723,856
- Rental yield: 5.21% - that is genuinely strong for Calgary
- Estimated monthly rent: $3,358
- Growth rank: 139 out of 221 Calgary neighbourhoods - below average
- Price rank: 42 out of 221 - among the most expensive in the city
The silver lining? Highwood houses still rank in the top 20% for price across Calgary. You are in an expensive neighbourhood - the demand just needs a nudge right now.
Condos: A Different Story Entirely
Condo owners, pay attention. While the house market is slow, condos here are moving fast and selling above asking. The one condo that sold this month went for 106.02% of list price - meaning the buyer paid more than the seller asked. That is a sellers' market, full stop. Average days on market was just 19 days.
- Average sale price: $530,000
- Average list price: $499,900
- Price per square foot: $324
- Average days on market: 19 - moving quickly
- Sold-to-list ratio: 106.02% - sellers are winning
- Predicted market value: $1,074,750
- Estimated monthly rent: $4,248
- Airbnb rank in Calgary: 19 out of all neighbourhoods - top tier
- Price rank: 21 out of 175 condo neighbourhoods - near the top
That Airbnb rank of 19 in all of Calgary is worth noting. At an estimated $211 per night, Highwood condos have real short-term rental appeal. If you own one and are not thinking about that angle, you probably should be.
The Secret Sauce: Your HonestDoor Price vs. That Government Assessment
Here is why this matters for your wallet right now. The city assessed the average Highwood house at $694,955. Your HonestDoor Price is $702,678 - already 1.11% higher than what the city says your home is worth. And that gap matters because city assessments are snapshots frozen in time. They do not update when the market shifts month to month.
The HonestDoor Price is a real-time estimate built from actual transaction data - the 31 property sales that happened in Highwood in 2026, not a formula calculated months ago in a government office. With 829 properties assessed in the neighbourhood, there is plenty of data to work with. The HonestDoor Price has come down 2.93% from the previous period, which is exactly the kind of signal a static assessment will never catch fast enough.
Bottom line: if you are making any financial decision - refinancing, selling, or just curious what your home is actually worth today - the HonestDoor Price is the number to look at first.
The 'So What?' - Thinking About Selling This Summer?
For house sellers, timing and pricing are everything right now. With homes sitting 53 days on average and buyers paying below list, overpricing is the fastest way to watch your listing go stale. The data suggests pricing sharp and close to that $723,856 predicted value will get you more serious buyers faster. Cambrian Heights next door has an average HonestDoor Price of $858,093 - if your home has the features to compete, that comparison works in your favour when talking to buyers.
For condo sellers, the window looks good. One sale is a small sample, but selling above asking in 19 days is the kind of momentum you want to ride. If you have been sitting on the fence, this summer looks like your moment.
For everyone else - whether you are staying put or just keeping score - Highwood sits in the top 20% for home prices across Calgary. The neighbourhood growth rate is flat at 0.00% year over year, ranking 139 on the Calgary leaderboard. It is not leading the pack, but it is holding its ground in a premium price tier. That is not nothing.
- Neighbourhood leaderboard - growth rank: 139 out of 221 Calgary neighbourhoods
- Average HonestDoor Price (houses): $702,678 - down 2.93% from last period
- Average HonestDoor Price (condos): $1,063,143 - down 1.08% from last period
