Montgomery, Calgary: Your Neighbour Just Got a Reality Check on Their Home Value If you own a home in Montgomery and you're still looking at your city assessment to figure out what your place is worth, you're working with old news. Here's what's actually happening on our streets right now. The Vibe: What the Numbers Are Really Saying Houses - Taking a Breather, But Not Falling Apart We've seen some head-turning numbers this month. The average house sale price sits at $784,557, which looks like a sharp drop on paper - down 27.7% from last month. But before anyone panics, that's a monthly swing driven by the mix of homes that sold, not a cliff-edge collapse in what our houses are worth. The 3-month predicted market value of $797,624 is actually climbing past the moving average of $784,856, which tells a calmer story. Average sale price this month: $784,557 Average list price this month: $818,675 Price per square foot: $632 Sold-to-list ratio: 99.20% - buyers are getting a small discount, but sellers aren't giving the house away Average days on market: 38 days Properties sold this month: 14 Estimated monthly rent: $3,539 Rental yield: 5.12% - that's a strong return for landlords Recent value change: up 2.42% Growth rank: 49 out of 233 Calgary neighbourhoods - we're in the above-average tier on the leaderboard One thing worth watching: our houses are sitting 38 days on average before selling. University District is moving homes in 20 days. That gap tells us buyers have a bit more breathing room in Montgomery right now - which matters if you're pricing your listing. Condos - A Small Market With Big Swings The condo side of Montgomery is a thin market. Only 1 condo sold this month, and that single sale drags every average around with it. The sale came in at $325,000, which is actually below what a comparable unit moved for in University District ($360,000). Buyers paid 97.04% of list price, and units are sitting for 47 days on average. This is a cooling corner of our market right now. Average sale price this month: $325,000 Average list price this month: $334,900 Price per square foot: $341 Sold-to-list ratio: 97.04% Average days on market: 47 days Properties sold this month: 1 Estimated monthly rent: $3,886 Rental yield: 3.46% - moderate, but still positive Recent value change: up 4.13% Growth rank: 24 out of 216 Calgary neighbourhoods - that puts our condos near the top of the leaderboard With only 7 condo transactions recorded in 2026 so far, every single sale moves the needle hard. Take the monthly averages here with a grain of salt - the trend data over 3 months is a more honest read. The "So What?" - Thinking About Selling This Summer? If you're a house owner in Montgomery weighing a summer sale, here's the honest read. Demand is real - 14 houses moved this month and the predicted value is trending up. But buyers are taking their time (38 days on market) and they're negotiating small discounts off list price. Price it sharp from day one. Overpriced listings are sitting, and a stale listing in a 38-day-average market is a red flag to buyers. montgomery | calgary | july 2026 This information is all based on our opinions based on the information available to us.
