If you have been watching the "For Sale" signs on those big lots in St Andrews Heights, here is the honest picture. This is a premium neighbourhood - one of Calgary's top 12 by average assessed value - but right now, buyers have the upper hand. Knowing your real numbers before you make a move matters more than ever.
Our houses are not cheap, and that is the point. The average HonestDoor Price for a house here sits at $1,477,163 - up from the 3-month moving average of $1,471,643, so values are still creeping higher. But the sales data tells a more nuanced story.
That 54-day average is the number to watch. Nearby University Heights is moving homes in 28 days. When your neighbour's house sits nearly twice as long, the market is telling you something - buyers here are patient, and they know it. Our house growth rate ranks 144 out of 236 Calgary neighbourhoods. Not the top of the leaderboard, but our price rank is 45 out of 220, meaning we are still firmly in the premium tier. The market is taking a breather, not falling apart.
The condo side of St Andrews Heights is a different conversation. Values are actually above average on the growth leaderboard - ranking 48 out of 216 Calgary neighbourhoods - but recent sale prices dropped 19.8% from last month. With only 2 sales this month, that swing is based on very thin data, so do not panic. Two sales can move a monthly average dramatically.
The HonestDoor Price for condos here is $357,742 - that is 22.20% higher than the average city assessment. That gap is significant. If you own a condo in St Andrews Heights and you are relying on your tax assessment to understand what it is worth, you are working with the wrong number.
Here is the thing about city assessments - they are a snapshot from the past. Calgary's assessment process looks at data that can be 12 to 18 months old by the time it lands in your mailbox. A lot changes in that time.
For houses in St Andrews Heights, the average city assessment sits at $1,439,794. The average HonestDoor Price is $1,486,302 - that is $46,508 higher, and it reflects what is happening in the market right now, not last year. For condos, the gap is even wider. The city assessment averages $292,758, while the HonestDoor Price comes in at $357,742. That is a $64,984 difference.
If you are a homeowner using your assessment to decide whether to sell, refinance, or even just understand your net worth, you are potentially leaving real money on the table. The HonestDoor Price is the real-world check against a number the city calculated when the market looked different.
Selling in St Andrews Heights this summer is absolutely doable, but go in with clear eyes. Here is what the data is telling us right now.
Bottom line - this neighbourhood is not in trouble. It is a high-value, slower-moving market right now. Sellers who price accurately and present well will find buyers. Sellers who anchor to an outdated assessment and hold firm on price will watch summer turn to fall. Check your HonestDoor Price, know your real number, and make the move with confidence.
