If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs on your street and wondering whether to make a move, here's the straight story on Mountain Heights in 2026. No fluff, just the numbers that matter to your wallet.
We're seeing two very different stories play out in our neighbourhood right now, depending on what you own.
Houses: The average sale price this month is $351,667 - that's up 11.4% from last month, which sounds great. But here's the catch: homes are sitting on the market for an average of 36 days, and sellers are getting about 97.5 cents on every dollar they list for. Listings are averaging $399,900, but buyers are negotiating. The predicted market value for houses sits at $441,258, though that number is trending down from the 3-month moving average of $456,164. Prices have dipped 6.06% recently, and on the neighbourhood leaderboard, Mountain Heights houses rank 42 out of 56 for growth in Lethbridge. That puts us in below-average territory for appreciation right now. The silver lining? Price per square foot is $334, and we rank among the most affordable in the city - 39 out of 46 neighbourhoods on price. For buyers, that's actually a good thing.
Condos: This is where Mountain Heights has a quiet edge. Condo values have jumped 10.96% recently, and the predicted market value of $218,858 is climbing above the 3-month moving average of $207,914. On the neighbourhood leaderboard, our condos rank 13 out of 43 in Lethbridge for growth - that's solidly above average. If you own a condo here, you're sitting in a better spot than most of the city right now.
Here's something most neighbours don't think about until it's too late. Your city tax assessment is a snapshot from months ago - sometimes longer. It doesn't know what sold on your block last week. It doesn't adjust for the fact that condo values in Mountain Heights just moved up nearly 11%.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. It pulls from actual transaction data - like the 13 sales that happened in Mountain Heights this year - and gives you a current number, not a stale government estimate. For houses, that means knowing your home is likely worth around $445,141 right now, not whatever the assessment said last spring. For condo owners, it means seeing that upward momentum reflected immediately, not waiting until next year's assessment cycle to find out you've been undervaluing your asset.
Think of it this way: if you were selling a car, you'd check what it's worth today - not what the blue book said 18 months ago. Your home deserves the same treatment.
If you own a house in Mountain Heights and you're thinking about listing this summer, the market is telling you to move carefully. Buyers have options. Homes are taking 36 days to sell - slightly longer than nearby Sunridge at 34 days - and they're closing below list price. That doesn't mean you can't sell well, but it means your pricing strategy has to be sharp from day one. Overpricing will cost you time, and time on market works against you.
If you own a condo, the picture is more encouraging. Values are trending up, and Mountain Heights condos are outperforming most of the city on growth right now. If you've been on the fence, this summer could be a reasonable window before that momentum shifts.
Either way, the first step is knowing your real number. Check your HonestDoor Price before you call an agent, before you set a list price, and before you assume your tax assessment tells the whole story. In a market moving this fast - in both directions - the most expensive mistake you can make is working with outdated information.
