If you own a home in Holyrood and you have not looked at your HonestDoor Price lately, you are leaving real money on the table. The city's assessment says the average house here is worth $540,787. The HonestDoor Price says $634,009. That is a $93,222 gap - and that gap matters when you are making decisions about selling, refinancing, or just figuring out where you actually stand.
Let's break it down by property type, because houses and condos are telling two different stories right now.
The numbers look a little choppy on the surface. Only 3 houses sold this month, down 40% from last month, and the average sale price of $525,333 is down 24.9% month-over-month. Before you panic - that is a thin sample. Three sales can swing the average wildly. What matters more is the bigger picture.
Here is the real story. Even with fewer sales and longer days on market, buyers who do show up are paying over list price. That is not a collapsing market. That is a market taking a breather while still rewarding well-priced homes. The rental yield of 5.49% is genuinely strong - if you are an investor or thinking about holding rather than selling, Holyrood houses are pulling their weight.
Holyrood condos are a different story, and honestly a pretty good one. The average HonestDoor Price sits at $395,913, up 1.88% from the previous period - that is a faster pace of growth than the houses. The predicted market value of $388,617 is climbing above the 3-month average of $383,084, which means momentum is building, not fading.
Compare that to nearby condos. Strathearn condos average $245,971. Idylwylde sits at $217,879. Ottewell is at $82,695. Holyrood condos are not just holding their own - we are in a completely different price tier. If you own a condo here, that is worth knowing.
The city assesses 1,068 properties in Holyrood once a year. That number gets used for your tax bill and it sits there, frozen, until the next cycle. It does not know what sold last month. It does not know that buyers are paying over list price right now. It does not adjust for the fact that Holyrood houses are running 17.24% above the average Edmonton assessed value.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using actual transaction data. Right now it is showing $634,009 for houses - that is $93,222 more than what the city has on file. If you are walking into a conversation with a bank, a buyer, or even just your own financial planner, you want the number that reflects today, not last January.
Think of the city assessment as a snapshot from a year ago. The HonestDoor Price is what your neighbour's place actually sold for last week.
Here is the straight talk for anyone considering listing in Holyrood this summer.
Bottom line - if you are thinking about selling, get your HonestDoor Price first. Not the tax assessment. Not a gut feeling. The real-time number. That is where the conversation starts.
