If you own a home in La Perle and you've been going off your city assessment to gauge what your place is worth, stop. That number is leaving serious money on the table. Here's the real picture right now.
La Perle is a tale of two property types this month, and the story is pretty different depending on what you own. Let's break it down.
If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs on our streets, here's what's actually happening. The house market is cooling off a bit. Seven homes sold this month, down 12.5% from last month, and the average sale price came in at $429,286 - a 7.8% dip from the month before. Homes are sitting on the market for an average of 60 days, and buyers are paying about 99.34% of list price. Translation: buyers have a little more room to negotiate than they did a few months ago.
One thing worth noting - even with the dip, our average sale price still beats nearby Belmead, where houses are moving at $350,000. We're holding our own on the neighbourhood leaderboard where it counts.
Condos in La Perle are a different story, and honestly a good one for owners. Six units sold this month, moving in an average of just 29 days - the same pace as Belmead, which tells us demand here is steady. Prices dipped 6.0% to $199,500, but the HonestDoor predicted value is actually trending up, sitting at $181,419 and climbing past the 3-month average of $179,583.
On the neighbourhood leaderboard, our condos rank 81st out of 296 for growth. That puts us solidly in the top third of Edmonton. Not bad at all.
Here is the number that should make every La Perle homeowner sit up straight. The city's average assessed value for a house here is $423,839. The average HonestDoor Price? $715,675. That's a gap of nearly $292,000 - or 68.86% higher than what the city has on file.
City assessments are a snapshot in time. They're built on old data, processed slowly, and they don't react to what's happening on our streets right now. The HonestDoor Price is a real-world check - updated regularly, pulling from actual market activity. If you're making any financial decision based on your tax assessment alone, you're working with the wrong number.
For condo owners, the picture is a little different. The average assessed value is $184,648, and the HonestDoor Price sits at $181,482 - slightly below assessment. That's worth knowing too, because it means the city may actually be a touch ahead of where the market is right now for condos. Either way, you want the real number, not a guess.
Straight talk: the market is softer than it was a few months ago. Houses are taking longer to sell and prices have nudged down. But "softer" does not mean "bad" - especially if you bought a few years ago and your HonestDoor Price is sitting near $715,000 while your neighbour thinks their house is worth $420,000 because that's what the city said.
If you're a house owner thinking about listing this summer, here's the honest advice. Price it right from day one. With buyers paying 99.34% of list and homes sitting 60 days on average, overpricing will cost you time and momentum. A sharp list price based on your HonestDoor Price - not your assessment - is your best move.
If you own a condo, the faster 29-day sales pace works in your favour. Demand is more consistent, and with a rental yield of 4.33% and estimated rent of $993 per month, you also have the option to hold and rent if the timing doesn't feel right to sell.
Either way, the first step is knowing your real number. Check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else - it's the most current read on what your La Perle property is actually worth in today's market, not last year's.
