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.
