If you've been glancing at your city assessment and feeling pretty good about things, hold on. The numbers on the ground in Temple tell a more nuanced story - and it's worth a closer look before you make any moves this summer.
Let's be straight with each other. Our market is taking a breather right now, and the data backs that up.
Houses: The average sale price this month is sitting at $423,700, which is down 13.4% from last month. That's a notable dip. Listings are averaging $346,580, and homes are selling at about 95.46% of list price - meaning buyers are negotiating, and winning. With 10 sales this month and an average of 48 days on market, things are moving, but slowly. The one bright spot? We're still selling faster than Monterey Park, where homes sit for 58 days. The predicted market value for a Temple house is $504,744, which is sliding slightly below the 3-month average of $510,456. On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Temple houses rank 177 out of 238 for growth in Calgary - below average, but not at the bottom.
Condos: The condo side of Temple is a different story - and honestly, a more interesting one. Only 1 condo sold this month, down 50% from last month, at an average price of $267,000. That's thin volume, so take the month-over-month swings with a grain of salt. The predicted market value is $300,072, and it's actually ticking up slightly above the 3-month average of $299,463. Condos here rank 53 out of 216 for growth in Calgary - that puts us in the top quarter of the city. Days on market sit at 22, which is fast. The rental yield is 4.23%, which is moderate but respectable.
Here's the thing about your city assessment. It's a snapshot from months ago, calculated on data that's already stale by the time it lands in your mailbox. The city assessed the average Temple house at $527,049. But the HonestDoor Price for that same house is $511,428 - a difference of nearly $16,000. That's not a rounding error. That's real money.
For condos, the gap is similar. The city says $308,591. HonestDoor says $299,226. The assessment is running about 3% higher than what the real-time data suggests.
Why does this matter? Because if you're pricing a home to sell based on your assessment, you could be starting the conversation in the wrong place entirely. The HonestDoor Price updates in real time, pulling from actual transaction data and current market signals. It's the number that reflects what a buyer is actually going to offer you today - not what a government formula calculated last fall.
With 2,954 house properties and 457 condo properties assessed in Temple this year, and 143 total transactions recorded in 2026, there's enough data here to get a genuinely accurate read. Use it.
If you're a house owner in Temple eyeing a summer sale, the honest advice is this: price sharp and price right from day one. Buyers are negotiating hard - that 95.46% sold-to-list ratio tells you they have leverage. Homes sitting at 48 days on market means overpriced listings are getting ignored. Your best move is to check your HonestDoor Price, understand that the market is softer than the assessment suggests, and get ahead of it.
If you own a condo, the picture is a bit brighter. Growth ranks in the top quarter of Calgary, and the predicted value is nudging upward. The catch is thin volume - only 1 sale this month means the market is quiet. A well-priced condo in Temple could stand out simply because there's not much competition right now.
For anyone thinking about holding and renting instead, the numbers support it. A 5.63% rental yield on a house is genuinely strong. At an estimated $2,542 per month in rent, Temple holds its own against nearby neighbourhoods like Monterey Park ($2,634) and beats Falconridge ($2,309) and Pineridge ($2,478).
Bottom line: Temple is affordable, it has solid rental fundamentals, and the condo segment is quietly outperforming. But if you're selling a house this summer, go in with clear eyes. The market is telling you something - listen to it.
