If you own in Roxboro, your neighbour just got a tax assessment that undersells their home by nearly 8%. That gap between what the city says your place is worth and what buyers are actually paying? That is money left on the table if you are not paying attention. The Vibe: What Is Actually Happening on the Ground Let us be straight with you. The Roxboro house market is taking a breather right now. Three homes sold this month, with an average sale price of $3,216,333 - that is down 16.5% from last month. Listings are sitting at $3,299,000 on average, and buyers are paying about 97.84% of list price. So yes, there is a little room to negotiate if you are buying. But here is the thing - homes are still moving fast. The average days on market is just 13 days, and that speed ranks 14th out of 76 comparable neighbourhoods in Calgary. When a Roxboro home hits the market priced right, it does not sit. That tells us demand is real, even if the monthly numbers look softer. Average sale price (houses): $3,216,333 Average list price: $3,299,000 Sale-to-list ratio: 97.84% Average days on market: 13 Price per square foot: $895 Properties sold this month: 3 Total transactions in 2026: 12 The Secret Sauce: Your HonestDoor Price vs. That City Assessment Here is why you should pull up your HonestDoor Price right now. The city's average assessed value for Roxboro sits at $2,075,760. The average HonestDoor Price is $2,234,648. That is a $158,888 difference - and the HonestDoor Price is already up 5.58% from the previous period. Government assessments are a snapshot from the past. They do not move with the market in real time. The HonestDoor Price is a live, real-world check on what your property is actually worth today - not what a bureaucrat calculated months ago. In a neighbourhood that ranks 5th out of 220 for average assessed value across all of Calgary, the stakes of getting this number right are high. Roxboro also ranks 12th in Calgary for Airbnb income potential, with an estimated $368 per night. If you have ever thought about short-term rental income, this neighbourhood punches well above its weight. Average assessed value: $2,075,760 Average HonestDoor Price: $2,234,648 HonestDoor Price growth: up 5.58% HonestDoor Price vs. city assessment: 7.65% higher Airbnb rank in Calgary: 12th Average assessed value rank in Calgary: 5th out of 220 Average rental estimate: $7,406 per month Average Airbnb estimate: $368 per night The Neighbourhood Leaderboard On growth, Roxboro sits at 82nd out of 233 Calgary neighbourhoods. That puts us in above-average territory - not the fastest climber on the block, but solidly ahead of the pack. For context, nearby Erlton is actually shrinking slightly at -0.02% growth, while Rideau Park (0.08%) and Mission (0.06%) are growing a touch faster. Both of those neighbourhoods also come in significantly cheaper, with HonestDoor Prices of $2,199,663 and $1,203,460 respectively. You are paying a premium to be in Roxboro - and the data says that premium is holding. Roxboro growth rank: 82nd out of 233 Calgary neighbourhoods Neighbourhood growth rate: 0.03% year over year Erlton (nearby): HD Price $919,849, growth -0.02% Rideau Park (nearby): HD Price $2,199,663, growth 0.08% Mission (nearby): HD Price $1,203,460, growth 0.06% The So What - Should You Sell This Summer? If you are thinking about listing this summer, here is the honest read. The monthly price dip looks dramatic at -16.5%, but with only 3 sales to base that on, one outlier transaction can swing the number hard. Do not panic over one month of data in a low-volume market. What matters more is this: homes here are selling in 13 days on average, buyers are paying close to full list price, and your HonestDoor Price is running nearly 8% above what the city assessed you at. That is a strong foundation to go to market with. The predicted market value for Roxboro houses sits at $2,116,457, and it is trending upward against the 3-month moving average. Rental yield is at 3.75% if you are weighing a hold strategy instead. That is a moderate but respectable return for a neighbourhood ranked 4th most expensive in Calgary out of 220. Bottom line - if your plan is to sell, price it sharp, move fast, and use your HonestDoor Price as your starting point. The city's assessment is not your friend in a negotiation. Your HonestDoor Price is.
