If you've been glancing at your last city assessment and wondering if it still holds up, the short answer is: probably not. The market has moved, and the numbers tell two very different stories depending on whether you own a house or a condo in Starfield.
Let's be straight with each other. Our neighbourhood is not a one-size-fits-all story right now.
On the house side, things are holding up reasonably well. The average HonestDoor Price for a house sits at $762,952, down just 0.22% from the previous period. That is barely a blip. The predicted market value comes in at $764,643, which is slightly ahead of the 3-month moving average of $768,662 - so we are seeing a mild softening, but nothing dramatic. Houses in Starfield rank 90 out of 238 comparable Calgary neighbourhoods for growth. That puts us in above-average territory on the city leaderboard. Not leading the pack, but solidly in the top half.
The condo picture is a different conversation. The average HonestDoor Price for a condo is $53,000, down 11.96% from the previous period. The predicted market value is $60,200, and that number is also sliding against a 3-month moving average of $61,067. The recent value change sits at -6.23%. On the neighbourhood growth leaderboard, Starfield condos rank 192 out of 216 - that puts us near the bottom of the Calgary condo market right now. Nearby Foothills condos are already pricing higher at $69,306. That gap is worth paying attention to.
Here is the thing about city assessments - they are a snapshot from months ago, sometimes longer. By the time that number lands in your mailbox, the market has already moved on. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling from actual sales data and current market signals. It is the real-world check against a static government number.
For house owners in Starfield, your HonestDoor Price of $762,952 is the figure a buyer's agent is likely working with right now - not whatever the city last told you. If your assessment is lower, you could be leaving money on the table in a negotiation. If it is higher, you need to know that too before you price a listing.
For condo owners, the gap between the HonestDoor Price and nearby neighbourhoods like Great Plains ($256,850) and Erin Woods ($695,612) is a signal worth understanding. Knowing where you actually stand - not where you stood a year ago - is the only way to make a smart move.
If you own a house in Starfield and you have been sitting on the fence, the window is open but it is not wide open. Values are holding, the rental demand is real at $3,074 per month, and a 5.10% yield means investors are paying attention to this street. A top-half growth ranking in Calgary is a story you can tell a buyer.
If you own a condo here, this summer is a moment to get clear-eyed. A drop of nearly 12% in the HonestDoor Price and a bottom-tier growth rank means the market is telling you something. That does not mean panic - it means price it right, price it sharp, and do not anchor to what you paid or what the city assessed it at last year.
Either way, the move right now is to pull your HonestDoor Price, compare it to your assessment, and have an honest conversation about what the numbers actually say. That is what a smart neighbour would do.
