Sunnyside, Calgary - August 2026 Real Estate Report

Sunnyside Real Talk: Your House Is Worth More Than the City Thinks

If you own a home in Sunnyside and you're still going off your city assessment, you're leaving money on the table. Here's what's actually happening on our streets right now.

The Vibe: Houses vs. Condos

Sunnyside is telling two very different stories depending on what you own. Let's break it down.

Houses - Sellers Are Running the Show

If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs around Sunnyside, here's what's actually happening with houses. The market is hot. One house sold this month at an average of $1,405,000 - that's 40% above last month's number. Even better, that sale closed at 100.37% of list price. Buyers paid over asking. That's not a typo.

• Average sale price: $1,405,000 (up 40% from last month)
• Average list price right now: $1,399,800
• Price per square foot: $517
• Average days on market: 11 days
• Sold-to-list ratio: 100.37% - buyers are paying above asking
• Days-on-market rank: 9 out of 77 neighbourhoods - we are one of the fastest-selling spots in Calgary

Eleven days on market puts us in the top tier of Calgary. That days-on-market rank of 9 out of 77 is a big deal - it means houses here move faster than almost everywhere else in the city. If you're a house owner in Sunnyside, the demand is real and it's right now.

Condos - A Breather, But Not a Bust

The condo side of Sunnyside is taking a breather. Two condos sold this month, down 50% from last month, and they averaged 62 days on market. For context, nearby Eau Claire is moving condos in 42 days. Buyers here have a bit more room to negotiate - the average sale came in at 96.16% of list price, meaning sellers gave a little ground.

• Average sale price: $371,750 (up 42.6% from last month, but on low volume)
• Average list price right now: $384,950
• Price per square foot: $462
• Average days on market: 62 days
• Sold-to-list ratio: 96.16% - buyers have some negotiating power
• Growth rank: 61 out of 216 neighbourhoods - above average in Calgary

That 42.6% month-over-month price jump sounds dramatic, but keep in mind only two units sold. Low volume makes the numbers swing. The steadier signal is the predicted market value of $473,467 - which is actually ticking slightly above the 3-month average of $474,734. Not a crash. Just a slower pace.

The Secret Sauce: Your HonestDoor Price vs. That City 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 sold on your block last week. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, and right now it's telling a very different story than the city's numbers.

• Average city assessment for houses in Sunnyside: $813,762
• Average HonestDoor Price for houses: $851,661 - that's 4.66% higher than the city's figure
• Average city assessment for condos: $391,558
• Average HonestDoor Price for condos: $468,678 - that's 19.70% higher than the city's figure

That condo gap is the one to pay attention to. If your city assessment says $391,558 but the real-world HonestDoor Price is $468,678, you are sitting on nearly $77,000 in value the city hasn't caught up to yet. That's not a rounding error. That's a renovation budget, a down payment on a rental, or just a much clearer picture of your actual net worth.

The HonestDoor Price is the real-world check. Check yours before your next financial conversation - whether that's with a bank, a buyer, or just yourself.

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

If you own a house in Sunnyside and you're thinking about listing this summer, the conditions are about as good as they get. Buyers are paying over asking, homes are gone in under two weeks, and our price rank sits at 49 out of 220 Calgary neighbourhoods. We are in the upper tier on price. That's a strong hand to play.

For condo owners, the honest answer is: price it right and be patient. Sixty-two days on market means buyers are taking their time. Coming in sharp on price - closer to that $371,750 recent sale average than the $384,950 current list average - will matter. The growth rank of 61 out of 216 shows the neighbourhood has real momentum, but the day-to-day condo market right now rewards realistic sellers over optimistic ones.

• House sellers: strong position - fast market, above-ask sales, top-tier price ranking
• Condo sellers: price competitively, expect a longer runway, but neighbourhood fundamentals are solid
• Both: check your HonestDoor Price today - the city's assessment is not your market value
• Rental angle: houses are pulling $3,648 per month estimated rent with a 5.08% yield - worth knowing if selling isn't the plan
• Neighbourhood leaderboard: Sunnyside houses rank 9 out of 77 on speed - that's a top-12% finish in Calgary

Bottom line - Sunnyside is a neighbourhood where owning still makes sense, selling a house right now makes a lot of sense, and knowing your real number (not the city's number) makes all the difference.
