Renfrew, Calgary - September 2026 Real Estate Report

Renfrew Real Talk: Your Home Is Worth More Than the City Thinks

If you own a place in Renfrew and you haven't checked your numbers lately, now is the time. The city's assessment is already behind. The real-world data tells a different story - and it's a good one for most of us here.

The Vibe: Houses vs. Condos

Houses - Strong Demand, Fast Sales

If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs in Renfrew, here's what's actually happening with houses right now. The average sale price hit $974,893 this month - up 15.9% from last month. That's not a typo. Fourteen homes sold, and they moved in an average of 23 days. For context, Bridgeland Riverside homes are sitting for 31 days. We're selling faster than our neighbours.

• Average sale price: $974,893 (up 15.9% from last month)
• Average list price this month: $903,933
• Price per square foot: $771
• Sale-to-list ratio: 99.40% - buyers are paying close to asking
• Average days on market: 23 days
• Predicted market value: $842,890
• 3-month moving average: $837,161 - values are trending up
• Rental yield: 5.04% - that's a strong return
• Estimated monthly rent: $3,677
• Growth rank: 37 out of 238 Calgary neighbourhoods - top tier

The rental story is solid too. A 5.04% yield on a house is not something you see everywhere in Calgary right now. If you're holding a Renfrew house as an investment, the math is working in your favour.

Condos - Fast and Competitive

The condo side of Renfrew is a different kind of interesting. Fewer sales - four this month - but those four sold in just 15 days on average. That's one of the fastest condo turnarounds in the city. Buyers paid 100.19% of list price, meaning they went over asking. That's a sellers' market signal, plain and simple.

• Average sale price: $664,600
• Average list price this month: $684,933
• Price per square foot: $379
• Sale-to-list ratio: 100.19% - buyers are paying above asking
• Average days on market: 15 days
• Sales volume up 33.3% from last month
• Predicted market value: $383,473
• Estimated monthly rent: $1,885
• Rental yield: 4.07%
• Days-on-market rank: 12 out of 75 Calgary neighbourhoods - very fast
• Price rank: 41 out of 175 Calgary neighbourhoods - above average

Condo values have dipped slightly - down 0.87% from the previous period - but the sales activity tells us buyers still want in. The volume jump and the above-asking sales price suggest this is a short breather, not a slide.

The Secret Sauce: Your HonestDoor Price vs. the City's Assessment

Here's the thing about your city assessment. It's a snapshot from months ago, built on a formula that doesn't know what happened on your street last Tuesday. The HonestDoor Price updates in real time using actual transaction data. That gap matters.

For houses in Renfrew, the average city assessment sits at $833,536. The average HonestDoor Price is $846,961 - already $13,425 higher, and up 0.48% from the previous period. That's 1.61% above the Calgary average assessed value. If you're pricing a sale or negotiating anything based on the city number alone, you're leaving money on the table.

For condos, the gap is even wider. The average city assessment is $349,356. The HonestDoor Price is $380,121 - that's $30,765 more, and 8.81% above the Calgary average assessed value. The city's number is not your number. Check the HonestDoor Price first.

The 'So What?' - Thinking About Selling This Summer?

Renfrew sits at rank 37 out of 238 Calgary neighbourhoods for house price growth. That puts us in the top 16% of the city. That's the neighbourhood leaderboard stat worth knowing before you price anything.

Here's the straight talk for anyone thinking about listing this summer.

• Houses are selling in 23 days and close to full asking price - the window is open right now
• 114 property transactions happened in Renfrew in 2026 across all types - this is an active market
• Your HonestDoor Price is almost certainly higher than your last tax assessment - use it as your starting point
• Nearby Bridgeland Riverside is pricier at $932,790 average HD Price, but our homes are moving faster
• Mayland Heights is cheaper at $606,354 - buyers priced out of there are looking at us next

Summer listings in an inner-city neighbourhood like Renfrew tend to attract buyers who want walkability and proximity to downtown. With 1,814 properties assessed here and strong transaction volume, there's enough comparable data to price confidently. Don't guess. Pull your HonestDoor Price, compare it to what's actually sold nearby, and go in with real numbers.

The city's assessment is a tax tool. The HonestDoor Price is your real-world check. Right now in Renfrew, those two numbers are not the same - and the difference is in your favour.
