Hey there, house hunters and curious homeowners! If youāve been wondering āIs now a good time to buy or sell a home?āāyouāre not alone.
The Calgary and Airdrie real estate market has been BUSY, and Iām here to break it all down for you in simple words, fun facts, and no boring stats (okay, just a fewābut only the important ones).
So grab a coffee ā or juice box š§and letās dive into whatās happening in the world of homes this spring!
š CALGARY: More Homes. More Choices. More Calm.
Last year, buyers were rushing like it was Black Friday. Today? Things are starting to chill out.
š Whatās New?
- Listings have exploded. There were 5,867 homes for sale in Calgary this April. Thatās 47% more than last monthāand a whopping 141% more than last year! Buyers now have way more to choose from.
- Sales slowed down (but thatās OK). Calgary saw 2,236 homes sold in April. Thatās fewer than last year, but itās not a crashāitās a reset. Experts say this is more ānormal.ā
- Prices are holding steady. The benchmark price in Calgary is $591,100. That means homes arenāt getting cheaper, but theyāre not skyrocketing either. Thatās called balance, and itās a great thing for both buyers and sellers.
šļø What Types of Homes Are People Buying?
- Detached homes: Still popular! Avg price: $769,300.
- Townhouses: Avg price: $464,600.
- Apartments: More buyers are loving these! Avg price: $336,000.
š¢ If youāre looking for a condo downtown or a family home in the āburbs, youāve got optionsāand less pressure.



š” AIRDRIE: Steady as She Goes
Letās talk about Calgaryās little sibling: Airdrie. Itās growing up fast and still turning heads!
š Whatās the Buzz?
- Inventory is up. There were 433 homes for sale in Airdrie this April. Thatās more than weāve seen in months.
- Sales are staying strong. Airdrie saw 185 homes sold, with a sales-to-new-listings ratio of 64%. Translation: homes are moving, but youāve got breathing room to look around.
- Prices are gently rising. Airdrieās benchmark price is $544,700, which is slightly higher than this time last year. Itās a sign of steady growthānot a runaway market.
š” Airdrie is still a smart pick for families who want more house for their dollar and easy access to Calgary.
