Market Analysis
After years of rapid appreciation, Cougar Ridge is experiencing a market correction in early 2026. The -1.1%year-over-year change reflects normalized conditions after prices peaked in 2024. This creates opportunities for buyers who were previously priced out.
Detached homes dominate the market, with entry-level detached ($769K–$1.1M) seeing steady activity while premium properties ($1.1M+) offer negotiation room. With 16 days on market and a 27% sales-to-new-listings ratio, the market has shifted toward balanced conditions.
Townhomes move quickly (averaging 15 days) around $550K, making them ideal for first-time buyers. With 10 active listings and3.3 months of supply, buyers have more selection and time to make informed decisions.
