September 2025 Market Update

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!

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.
