What Calgary’s Changing Market Means for Buyers and Sellers Right Now
The Calgary housing market is showing signs of change. As highlighted in our recent interview with Global News, sales in August dipped nearly 9% year-over-year, while benchmark prices fell about 4%. At the same time, inventory levels have climbed — not because of a surge of new listings, but because homes are taking longer to sell.
What does this mean for you?
-
Sellers: Pricing accurately is more important than ever. Homes listed too high risk sitting on the market, while those positioned properly (with excellent marketing) continue to draw strong interest.
-
Buyers: The pace has shifted. Instead of needing to rush into decisions, most buyers can now make thoughtful choices within 2–4 months. This is a welcome change from the frenzied conditions of recent years.
-
The big picture: While conditions have softened slightly, demand remains high. What we are experiencing is not a return to pre-pandemic buyer’s market conditions, but a healthier balance between buyers and sellers.
