March 2026 Market Update

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 02:01:51 GMT

Balanced Market — But Varying by Property Type

March brought increased activity as we move into the spring market, with more listings and inventory coming online. Overall conditions remain balanced, though trends continue to vary depending on property type. Detached homes remain the tightest segment with limited supply supporting prices, while row homes and apartment-style condos are seeing higher inventory and more buyer-friendly conditions.

-Calgary, the benchmark price reached $565,600, slightly up from February but still over 4% below last year.
- Airdrie recorded 135 sales and 251 new listings, keeping conditions balanced with a benchmark price of $512,800.
- Cochrane remains balanced, with benchmark pricing at $561,200.
- Okotoks continues to show tighter supply, with the benchmark price at $618,100.

Buyers
▪️ More inventory means increased choice, especially in condos and row homes
▪️ Greater negotiating power in higher supply segments
▪️ Detached homes in desirable areas remain competitive

Sellers
▪️ Strategic pricing is key as inventory rises
▪️ Well-presented homes continue to stand out
▪️ Spring market activity is building with more listings coming on

Considering a move in 2026? I’m happy to help you understand what these trends mean for your specific neighbourhood and property type.

Interest Rate held at 2.25%

This morning, the Bank of Canada held its overnight rate at 2.25% (prime remains 4.45%) no change since October 2025.

With ongoing global uncertainty, the Bank is taking a cautious approach. For our Calgary & Airdrie market, this means stability in borrowing costs for now giving buyers confidence and sellers a more balanced, steady environment.

We’re continuing to see thoughtful buyers, steady demand, and opportunities on both sides of the market.

January 2026 Market Update

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 18:11:41 GMT

A Slower Start to the Year as Buyers Take a Measured Approach

January marked a cautious start to the new year across the Calgary region. While new listings increased as sellers re-entered the market post-holidays, buyer activity remained selective, resulting in longer days on market and more balanced conditions overall. Inventory levels rose month-over-month, giving buyers more choice and reinforcing the importance of pricing and presentation for sellers.

In Calgary, sales rose slightly month-over-month, but inventory also increased, keeping conditions competitive for sellers. Prices have remained relatively stable, though buyers are taking a more deliberate approach.

Airdrie saw an increase in both sales and listings, with days on market improving—well-priced homes are still moving, but strategy matters.

Cochrane experienced longer selling timelines as inventory climbed, reinforcing the importance of correct pricing.

Okotoks continues to stand out as a tighter market, with stable pricing and steady demand heading toward spring.

Buyers
▪️ More inventory to choose from compared to late 2025
▪️ Increased negotiating power, particularly on price and conditions
▪️ A strong opportunity to buy before spring competition increases

Sellers
▪️ Pricing correctly from the start is critical in a more balanced market
▪️ Homes that are well-presented and marketed strategically continue to sell
▪️ Days on market are longer, making flexibility and exposure key

Considering a move in early 2026? I’m happy to help you understand what these trends mean for your specific neighbourhood and property type.

Bank of Canada Rate Update 🇨🇦

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 15:27:04 GMT

The Bank of Canada held its overnight rate at 2.25%, marking the second straight pause to start 2026. Stability continues to be the theme.

What this means for Alberta real estate
• Stable rates support balanced market conditions
• Forecasts point to ~1.5% home price growth this year
• Think steady and predictable — not extreme swings

Important reminder:
The Bank of Canada doesn’t set mortgage rates. Fixed rates follow bond markets, and variable rates are influenced by the policy rate along with lender pricing and risk.

FOR BUYERS
• Predictability = confidence — with steady borrowing costs, planning your purchase becomes clearer.
• Mortgage rates aren’t expected to shift dramatically right now, so budgeting and qualifying remain more stable.
• If you’ve been waiting for clarity on rates before jumping in — this helps remove one big variable.

FOR SELLERS
• Buyers feel more comfortable making decisions when rates are predictable, which can support continued market activity.
• With a steady rate environment, sellers don’t face a sudden jump in borrowing costs that could delay buyer decisions.
• This stable backdrop can help listings stay competitive and attract qualified offers.

FOR THE MARKET
• Stable interest rate conditions often mean balanced market conditions, not extreme swings.
• Economists and forecasts see housing continuing to grow modestly this year — many models, including ones watching Alberta trends, point to around ~1.5% price growth in 2026, reflecting measured demand and steady cost of borrowing.
• This doesn’t mean explosive price increases, but rather a sustainable and predictable year for both buyers and sellers.

Predictability helps with planning whether you’re buying, selling, or refinancing. If you want to chat about what this means for your goals, let’s connect

2026 Housing Market Outlook | Calgary Region

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 23:35:37 GMT

Entering 2026, the Calgary-region housing market has shifted toward more balanced conditions. After several years of strong demand and rapid price growth, higher inventory levels and slower migration have eased pressure across many segments of the market. While demand remains stable, it is now tracking closer to long-term trends, creating a market where pricing, preparation, and property type play a larger role in outcomes.

Calgary:
Sales activity is expected to remain in line with long-term averages as increased resale and new-home supply provides buyers with more choice. Price growth has stabilized, with detached homes forecast to see minimal year-over-year change, while higher-density properties such as apartments and row homes face greater price pressure due to elevated inventory.

Airdrie:
Airdrie’s market has returned to more balanced conditions as inventory levels increased in both the resale and new home segments. While prices softened slightly in 2025, values remain significantly higher than pre-2021 levels, reflecting the strong gains achieved over the past several years. Price growth is expected to remain more moderate heading into 2026.

Cochrane:
After multiple years of tight supply, inventory levels in Cochrane have moved closer to historical norms. Sales activity remains healthy, but the return of supply is expected to moderate price growth following several years of strong appreciation.

Overall, the 2026 market is no longer driven by rapid price escalation. Buyers have more leverage, sellers must price strategically, and results increasingly depend on location, property type, and presentation.

December 2025 Market Update

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 00:25:31 GMT

Year-End Slowdown Brings More Balanced Conditions

December followed expected holiday-season patterns, with a noticeable slowdown in both sales and new listingscompared to November. While activity softened month-over-month, the market remains more balanced than earlier in the year, with inventory continuing to play a key role in buyer and seller decision-making.

Across Calgary, sales declined from 1,553 in November to 1,126 in December, while new listings dropped sharply from 2,251 to 1,221. Inventory also eased from 5,581 to 3,900 units, helping stabilize conditions heading into the new year. Prices remained relatively steady, though average days on market increased slightly as buyers took a more measured approach

Airdrie
December saw a seasonal pullback in activity, with sales dipping from 108 in November to 85, and new listings dropping significantly from 142 to 79. Inventory declined from 453 to 305 units, helping prevent further softening.
▪️ Prices remained stable overall, though homes took slightly longer to sell, reflecting typical year-end conditions

Cochrane
After a very active November, December brought a reset. New listings fell sharply and sales eased, but inventory also declined, helping maintain balance.
▪️ Prices held relatively steady, and demand remains resilient compared to long-term averages

Okotoks
Okotoks continued to stand out. While activity slowed from November’s strong levels, sales remained healthy relative to inventory, keeping conditions tighter than surrounding markets.
▪️ Benchmark pricing held firm, and Okotoks remains one of the more competitive sub-markets heading into 2026

What This Means for You:

Buyers
▪️ Less competition than earlier in the fall
▪️ More negotiating power, especially in condos and row homes
▪️ A great window to prepare ahead of the spring market

Sellers
▪️ Correct pricing is critical in a slower seasonal market
▪️ Well-presented detached and semi-detached homes are still selling
▪️ Strategy, marketing, and timing matter more than ever

Considering a move in early 2026?
I’m happy to help you understand what these trends mean for your specific neighbourhood and property type.

November 2025 Market Update

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 21:11:23 GMT

Balanced Conditions as We Head Into Winter

November followed typical seasonal patterns across Calgary and area, with sales, new listings, and inventory levels all slowing from October. The month saw 1,553 sales and 2,251 new listings, improving the sales-to-new-listings ratio to 69% and helping moderate some inventory growth.

Even with the slowdown, inventory sits at 5,581 units — still 28% higher than last year and above long-term seasonal norms, largely driven by rising supply in the row and apartment sectors.

Airdrie: Seasonal slowdown continued, with both sales and new listings easing. Inventory remains elevated due to increased new-build product entering resale.
▪️ Detached benchmark prices are down ~1% YTD — softening, but still well above pre-2021 levels.

Cochrane: New listings hit a record high for November, driven partly by more new homes entering resale.
▪️ Sales stayed strong, but not enough to pull inventory down.
▪️ Detached prices remain ~2% higher YTD than last year.

Okotoks:One of the few markets where sales increased from last month.
▪️ Still a tight market with inventory well below long-term trends.
▪️ Prices remain higher YTD across all property types despite recent small adjustments.

What This Means for You?
Buyers
▪️ Higher inventory = more choice
▪️ Balanced conditions in detached & semi-detached
▪️ Strong negotiating leverage in condos and row homes

Sellers
▪️ Pricing and presentation are crucial
▪️ Detached and semi-detached homes priced correctly are still moving
▪️ More competition in row and condo listings — staging + strategy matter

Considering a move this winter or early 2026? I can help you navigate your local market with clarity and confidence.

October 2025 Market Update

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 21:56:05 GMT

Fewer Listings, More Balance Returning

October saw the pace of new listings slow across Calgary and area, preventing further inventory gains. With sales activity picking up slightly, many markets are moving back toward balanced conditions. Detached and semi-detached homes remain steady, while apartment and row homes continue to feel the weight of higher supply.

Overall, Calgary’s benchmark price dipped just under 1% month-over-month to $568,000, about 4% below last year. Row and apartment prices have eased 6–7% year-over-year, while detached homes continue to hold more stable.

▪️ Airdrie: Activity slowed with elevated inventory (over 4 months of supply). Prices have trended down since spring — October’s benchmark at $520,400, nearly 5% below last year.
▪️ Cochrane: Sales improved as listings eased, keeping supply just above 4 months. Benchmark price held firm at $585,200, up 2% from last year — steady and resilient.
▪️ Okotoks: New listings rose while sales cooled, bringing some relief to inventory. Prices ticked up to $618,600, essentially flat year-over-year, maintaining stability.

What This Means for You:

▪️ Buyers: More balanced conditions = more breathing room. Explore options without the spring rush.

▪️ Sellers: Pricing and presentation matter. Move-in-ready homes priced right are still attracting strong interest.

Thinking of making a move before year-end? Let’s build a plan tailored to today’s market.

September 2025 Market Update

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 14:34:22 GMT

More Inventory, Softer Demand.
September brought similar conditions to August, with inventory holding high at 6,842 units across Calgary, keeping the market in more balanced territory. Buyers continue to take more time with increased choice, while sellers are adjusting expectations.

Overall, benchmark prices edged slightly lower compared to August, leaving values about 3% below the spring 2025 peak. The largest pullbacks remain in apartment and row homes, especially in Calgary’s NE and North districts. Detached and semi-detached homes continue to hold closer to balance.

▪️Airdrie: Prices slipped modestly compared to last month as elevated supply continues to weigh on the market.

▪️Cochrane: Stable, showing only a slight month-to-month dip, continuing to perform more resiliently than other surrounding markets.

▪️Okotoks: With just over 2 months of supply, conditions remain tight. Prices are essentially flat compared to August, showing stability.

What This Means for You:
* Buyers: More inventory = more choice. You can take time, compare options, and negotiate firmly.
* Sellers: Pricing and presentation are critical. Well-positioned homes still move, while overpriced listings are sitting longer.

Thinking about making a move this fall? Let’s create a strategy tailored to today’s market.

Big News: Bank of Canada Interest Rate Drop!

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 14:03:22 GMT

The Bank of Canada has just lowered its key interest rate by 0.25% — now sitting at 2.50%.

What does this mean for the Calgary, Airdrie & area housing market?

Buyers: Lower borrowing costs = more purchasing power. That dream home just got a little more affordable!
Sellers: Increased affordability can spark buyer activity, which is good news if you’re listing soon.
Market Impact: With inventory still tight in many communities, even a small rate drop can shift momentum toward quicker sales and stronger competition.

Whether you’re thinking of upsizing, downsizing, or investing — this could be the window you’ve been waiting for.

July 2025 Market Update

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 04:05:24 GMT

More Supply = Softer Prices
We’re seeing the impact of economic uncertainty, politics, tariffs, and no further Bank of Canada rate cuts have created hesitation. Combined with increased competition from new construction, buyers are more cautious, and sellers are adjusting.

Inventory levels in Calgary hit 6,917 units, the highest since pre-pandemic days — thanks mostly to new construction in expanding communities.

Benchmark Price Down 4% from last year’s peak (June 2024), with apartment and row homes seeing the steepest drops — especially in the NE and North districts.

July Stats:
• 2,099 sales (down 12% YoY)
• 3,911 new listings (up 8% YoY)
• Apartments = most oversupplied at 4+ months
• Detached/Semi = relatively balanced at 3 months

Reminder: Despite the softening, prices are still well above pre-2021 levels in most areas!

Airdrie Market Update:

-Sales Down 14% YoY, mainly in apartment and row homes
- Inventory up to 543 units – highest July since 2018
- Months of supply above 3 = slight pressure on prices
- Benchmark price: $532,800 (down ~4% YoY)

Prices still holding relatively steady on a year-to-date basis.

Cochrane Market Update:

-Sales remain strong, only down 2% YTD and still 23% above long-term trends

JUNE 2025 MARKET UPDATE

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 17:20:04 GMT

As we step into July, we’re seeing a shift across many local markets. After months of limited inventory and intense competition, things are beginning to ease. Inventory is climbing in most areas, and in many cases, prices are softening, a welcome sign for buyers who have been waiting on the sidelines.

AIRDRIE had a major jump in sales, but prices dropped significantly, suggesting motivated sellers and more competitive pricing. Slight inventory growth points to early signs of shifting leverage toward buyers.

CALGARY remains relatively balanced, but the steady sales vs. rising inventory and small price drop could indicate more options for buyers, leaning neutral to slightly buyer-friendly.

COCHRANE despite fewer sales, prices are up, indicating demand still exists for well-priced homes. Market remains balanced but is holding stronger than other towns.

OKOTOKS remains steady with rising prices and consistent pace.

RENE’s SUMMARY:

◾️Airdrie, Crossfield, Strathmore, and Carstairs are leaning buyer-friendly: more inventory, price drops, and longer DOM.

◾️Calgary, Cochrane, and Okotoks: remain fairly balanced, though Calgary is starting to show signs of becoming more favorable to buyers.

◾️Chestermere: is mixed, price is up, but so are DOM and inventory.

What does this mean for you?
If you’ve been thinking about buying, this summer might offer more selection and negotiating power. Sellers, pricing strategically and prepping your home well will be key as the market becomes more competitive.

Let’s chat about your next move, whether it’s buying, selling, or just planning ahead!

May 2025 Real Estate Market Update

Mon, 02 Jun 2025 21:21:47 GMT

The May housing market continues to adjust and rebalance with new listings increasing and inventory building across many segments. While some areas are seeing price softening, especially for apartments and row homes, detached and semi-detached properties remain stable or up slightly year-over-year.

Airdrie
Inventory hit its highest May level since before the pandemic, driven by new construction. This added supply is cooling price growth, with sales down 10% YTD. Benchmark Price: $540,600 (↓ ~2% YoY)

Calgary
Sales eased 17% compared to last May (largely due to apartments), but still sit 11% above long-term trends. The market is shifting toward balanced conditions, especially in areas like the Northeast where inventory is rising. Benchmark Price: $589,900 (down slightly from last year)

Cochrane
Sales slowed 17% year-over-year while new listings surged, pushing the market closer to balance. Despite this, prices remain up nearly 4% year-over-year. Benchmark Price: $589,400 (↑ ~4% YoY)

What does this mean Rene?
More choice is returning to the market, especially in new construction, which is creating a mix of opportunity and competition depending on location and property type. If you’re buying or selling in today’s shifting market, strategy matters more than ever.

Let’s talk about what this means for your next move.
