December 2025 Market Update

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.
