Whether you're upsizing, downsizing, or relocating to a new area, trying to buy and sell a home at the same time can feel overwhelming.

But with the right strategy, this transition can be smooth, well-timed, and financially smart.

As a Calgary-based REALTOR® who regularly helps clients move between homes, I’ve developed a proven step-by-step process that removes the guesswork—and minimizes the stress.

🧠 Step 1: Start With the Sale (Even Before You Buy)

Most people want to find their next dream home before listing their current one.

But in most cases, I recommend the opposite:

Prepare your current home first.

We’ll get your property photo-ready, either go live or prep it behind the scenes so that we can hit the ground running when the timing aligns.

Why?

Because knowing what your current home will sell for—and how quickly—gives you the confidence and leverage you need when you’re ready to buy.

💰 Step 2: Understand Your Financing Options

Talk to your mortgage broker early about how you’ll manage the financial overlap. Options may include:

• Bridge financing (most common)

• Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)

• Extended possession dates on your sale or purchase

• Conditional offers based on your home’s sale

Every situation is different. That’s why I work closely with your lender to structure a strategy that protects your budget and avoids financial pressure.

📝 Step 3: Protect Yourself With the Right Offer Conditions

When it’s time to write an offer on your new home, we’ll include terms that keep your transition safe and realistic. That may include:

• Condition for the sale of your home

• Flexible possession timelines

• Early access for measurements or contractor quotes

I help you negotiate a timeline that aligns with your goals—whether you’re trying to avoid moving twice or need extra time for possession.

🔄 Step 4: Always Have a Backup Plan (Just in Case)

Even with the best strategy, it’s smart to have a short-term backup plan. This might mean:

• Arranging temporary housing

• Securing storage for your belongings

• Pre-booking movers or rental options

I help clients plan for all scenarios so nothing catches you off guard—even if we need to adjust the timeline last-minute.

🤝 Final Thoughts: You’re Not Alone in This

Buying and selling at the same time can be complex, but with the right guidance, it's entirely doable. I’ve helped countless Calgary-area clients manage this transition smoothly—without panic selling or panic buying.

If you're thinking about making a move, the earlier we plan, the more confident you'll feel.

Let’s get you moved—without the chaos.

If you're buying a house or duplex in Alberta, especially in Calgary or surrounding areas, you'll likely hear the term Real Property Report—also known as an RPR.

But what is it exactly, and why is it so important?

🧾 What Is a Real Property Report (RPR)?

An RPR is a legal document prepared by a certified land surveyor. It shows the exact location of permanent structures on the property—like the house, garage, deck, fence, or shed—in relation to property lines.

It also includes any easements, rights-of-way, and additions made since the last survey.

✅ Why It Matters for Buyers in Alberta

A current RPR with municipal compliance is critical. It confirms that:

• Structures don’t encroach on your neighbour’s property or city land

• Additions (like decks or sheds) follow city bylaws

• There are no hidden liabilities attached to the property

Without one, you could face:

• Costly legal disputes

• Forced removal of non-compliant structures

• Delays in resale or refinancing

🏠 Do You Always Need an RPR?

For detached homes and duplexes in Alberta: Yes.

For condos or townhomes under condo plans: Usually not required.

Pro tip: Ask if the seller has an updated RPR with compliance at the time of offer. If not, negotiate who provides it—or consider title insurance as a backup (but not a perfect replacement).

📋 What to Look for on an RPR

• A visible compliance stamp from the municipality

• Survey date (older reports may not reflect recent additions)

• Properly marked lot lines and setback compliance

• No encroachments onto city land or easements

Final Thoughts

An RPR might seem like a technicality, but it’s one of the most important due diligence steps in buying a home in Alberta.

Thinking of selling your home in Calgary? One of the biggest decisions you’ll make isn’t about renovations or staging—it’s your pricing strategy. Price your home too high, and you risk scaring away potential buyers. Price it too low, and you leave money on the table. Here’s how to strike the perfect balance in today’s Calgary real estate market.

Why Pricing Matters More Than Ever

In a market where buyers are well-informed and inventory is increasing, homes that are overpriced get ignored. The first 7–14 days on the market are critical. That’s when your listing gets the most attention—on MLS, Realtor.ca, and through your REALTOR®’s marketing efforts. Miss that window, and your home risks going stale.

Top Pricing Mistakes Calgary Sellers Make

• Overpricing based on emotion: Just because your home is meaningful to you doesn’t mean buyers will pay extra for sentiment.

• Chasing the market down: If you start too high, you’ll likely have to reduce later—and often for less than if you priced correctly from the start.

• Pricing based on what you “need” to get: Buyers don’t care what your goals are. They care about value and comparables.

How to Price It Right in Calgary

As a local REALTOR® with 15+ years of experience, I use recent sales data, buyer demand, and neighbourhood-specific trends to determine an optimal price that attracts the right audience.

We’ll also consider:

• Current inventory levels

• Days on market trends

• Price brackets that buyers are searching within

The Bottom Line

Your home’s price tag is your most powerful marketing tool. In Calgary’s real estate market, strategic pricing leads to faster sales and better offers.

Thinking of listing your home in Calgary?

If you want to get the highest price possible, there's one crucial step that too many sellers overlook—a pre-listing walk-through with a real estate professional.

This isn’t just about staging (though that’s part of it).

It’s about identifying low-cost, high-impact improvements that make your home shine—because first impressions sell.

Why It Works

Calgary’s market remains active, especially in sought-after communities. But even in a seller’s market, homes that show well sell faster—and for more.

Buyers today are busy. If they see scuffed walls, loose handles, or neglected landscaping, it can make your home feel unloved.

That feeling? It shows up in their offer.

What to Expect in a Walk-Through

During a pre-listing walk-through, I’ll help you identify:

• Minor repairs with major return potential

• Curb appeal upgrades that draw buyers in

• Quick fixes to create emotional connection

• Easy ways to prep your home for professional photos

You don’t need to spend a fortune—you just need to know what matters.

Buying your first home is exciting—but if you’re not careful, it can also be overwhelming and expensive. I’ve helped hundreds of first-time buyers navigate the Calgary market, and I see the same mistakes come up again and again.

If you’re starting your home buying journey, here are three common mistakes to avoid—and how to get it right the first time.

❌ Mistake #1: Falling for the Wrong Home Emotionally

That perfect kitchen or dreamy backyard might steal your heart—but don’t forget to look deeper.

What to do instead:

• Check resale value in that neighborhood

• Evaluate lifestyle fit for 3–5 years

• Review traffic, commute, and school zones

❌ Mistake #2: Skipping Mortgage Pre-Approval

Without pre-approval, you risk falling in love with homes you can’t afford—or losing a great deal while waiting on paperwork.

What to do instead:

• Get pre-approved before you start viewing

• Know your max purchase price, but shop under budget

• Work with a trusted mortgage broker (ask me—I have a list!)

❌ Mistake #3: Underestimating Closing Costs

First-time buyers often budget for the down payment—but forget about the rest.

What to do instead:

• Budget 1.5–2% of the purchase price for closing costs

• Account for home inspection, legal fees, title insurance, tax adjustments, and moving expenses

If you’ve listed your home in Calgary and it’s just sitting there, you’re not alone—and you’re not out of options.

The Calgary real estate market has been red-hot in recent years, but even in strong seller markets, some homes don’t sell right away. That can be frustrating, especially when you see “SOLD” signs going up all over your neighborhood.

Let’s break down the top reasons your home might not be selling and what you can do to fix it.

1. Your Pricing Strategy Is Off

In today’s fast-moving market, pricing your home just right is more important than ever. If your home is priced too high—even by $10,000—it can turn off serious buyers who are comparing multiple properties online.

💡 Pro Tip: Work with a local REALTOR® who knows the Calgary market inside and out. I regularly pull current comparables and market trends to help my clients price their homes to sell without leaving money on the table.

2. Your Listing Photos Aren’t Doing You Justice

Buyers shop with their eyes first. If your listing photos are dark, outdated, or just don’t showcase your home’s best features, you could be losing potential showings before they even step inside.

📸 What You Can Do: Invest in professional real estate photography. I offer this as part of every listing, along with staging tips to ensure your home looks its best online and in person.

3. You’re Not Getting the Right Exposure

In Calgary’s competitive real estate landscape, simply listing your home on the MLS® isn’t enough. You need a tailored marketing plan that targets the right buyers—especially if your property has unique features like an acreage, a triple garage, or a walkout basement.

📣 Solution: From social media ads to email marketing and targeted video walkthroughs, I craft custom strategies that attract qualified, motivated buyers.

Bonus Reason: Your Home Feels Like “Work”

Buyers want a home that feels move-in ready. If your home has visible repairs, outdated finishes, or cluttered spaces, it could feel like a project—and buyers will mentally deduct that from your asking price (or skip the showing entirely).

🛠️ My Approach: I help sellers make simple, strategic updates that increase appeal without overspending. Sometimes a fresh coat of paint, lighting tweaks, or minor landscaping changes are all it takes.

Final Thoughts: Don’t Panic—Just Pivot

Selling a home is both an emotional and strategic process. If your Calgary home isn’t selling, it doesn’t mean there’s something “wrong” with it. It means it’s time to re-evaluate, refresh, and relaunch—with the right support.

If you’re feeling stuck, I’d love to offer a complimentary home review and marketing audit. No pressure, just real insight.

As we wrapped up the first quarter of 2025, Calgary’s housing market continued to show signs of shifting toward more balanced conditions. March brought a mix of increased inventory, stable pricing, and softer sales activity, giving both buyers and sellers more to consider as the spring market unfolds.

Calgary: More Options for Buyers as Market Cools

In March, Calgary recorded 2,159 residential sales, a 19% year-over-year decline. Higher-density housing types like apartment condos were the most affected, but the decrease was felt across all categories.

Despite this, new listings surged by 27%, reaching 4,019. This brought inventory up to 5,154 units—more than double what was available last year at this time. The sales-to-new-listings ratio dropped to 54%, and months of supply rose to 2.4. These shifts point to a transition from the tight seller's market we’ve seen over the past four years into a more balanced one.

Prices, however, remained resilient.

• The benchmark price for all residential types: $592,500 (unchanged from February, up 9% YoY)

• Detached homes: $727,700

• Semi-detached: modest month-over-month growth

• Row homes and apartments: stable year-over-year, slight dip from February

Surrounding Areas: Inventory Gains Vary, Prices Holding

While Calgary itself is shifting toward balance, surrounding communities show a mixed picture. Here's a snapshot of how key regional markets performed:

Airdrie

• 160 sales in March

• Q1 total: 395 sales (down 11% YoY)

• New listings up, inventory at 398 units

• Sales-to-new-listings ratio: 57%

• Detached benchmark price: $651,300 (up over 2% YoY)

Cochrane

• 95 sales in March

• Sales slightly ahead of Q1 2024

• Inventory up, months of supply: 2.6

• Detached benchmark price: $686,800 (record high, 5% YoY increase)

Okotoks

• 53 sales in March

• Q1 total: 129 (down from 155 last year)

• Inventory remains low, despite more listings

• Detached benchmark price: $715,500 (new record, 5% YoY increase)

Chestermere

• March sales improved, but Q1 down 28% YoY

• Inventory up, months of supply: 5.4

• Detached benchmark price: $748,400 (up 3% YoY)

What This Means for You

The Calgary region is showing signs of rebalancing after years of tight conditions. If you're a buyer, this spring may offer more breathing room, especially in Calgary and Chestermere. If you're a seller, proper pricing and strong marketing will be key, as buyers have more choice and negotiating power.

That said, some smaller markets like Okotoks and Cochrane remain highly competitive—especially for well-priced detached homes under $700,000.

Whether you're buying, selling, or just keeping an eye on the market, the landscape is evolving. Curious how your community is performing? Reach out any time—I'm happy to help you make sense of it all.

In February 2025, Calgary's housing market experienced notable shifts, reflecting a transition toward more balanced conditions. While sales activity remained above historical averages, there was a discernible decline compared to the previous year, accompanied by significant growth in inventory levels.

Sales and Inventory

The city recorded 1,721 sales in February, marking a 19 per cent decrease from the same month last year. Despite this decline, sales figures remained higher than long-term trends for February. New listings increased by approximately six per cent year-over-year, reaching 2,830 units. This influx contributed to a substantial 76 per cent rise in inventory levels, totaling 4,145 units. Consequently, the months of supply—a measure of market balance—stood at 2.4 months, more than double the figure from February 2024. 

Alan Tennant, President and CEO of the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®), commented on these developments: "Even though more people listed their homes for sale, there were actually fewer sales than in February 2024. So, we’re seeing the seller’s market of the past two or three years ease off."

Benchmark Prices

The unadjusted benchmark price for total residential properties in Calgary was $587,600 in February, reflecting a modest one per cent increase from the previous year. Price trends varied across different property types:

• Detached Homes: The benchmark price rose to $760,500, a five per cent year-over-year increase. Notably, the City Centre district experienced the most significant growth, with prices climbing nearly eight per cent. 

• Semi-Detached Homes: Prices reached $683,500, up nearly seven per cent from February 2024. The City Centre and South districts led this growth, each recording approximately eight per cent increases. 

• Row/Townhouses: The benchmark price stood at $446,800, marking a three per cent rise year-over-year. The East district experienced a notable 12 per cent increase compared to 2024. 

• Apartment Condominiums: Prices averaged $334,200, reflecting a four per cent increase from the previous year. The West district saw the largest price growth in this segment, exceeding eight per cent.

Market Dynamics by Property Type

• Detached Homes: Sales decreased by 20 per cent year-over-year to 765 units. New listings grew by six per cent, resulting in a 61 per cent increase in inventory levels to 1,698 units. Months of supply improved across all districts, with the City Centre and North East trending toward balanced conditions, while the South and North West remained supply-constrained at approximately 1.6 months.

• Semi-Detached Homes: Sales declined by nearly 14 per cent to 165 units, while new listings rose by seven per cent to 240 units. This disparity led to a 46 per cent increase in inventory. Months of supply varied significantly across the city, from one month in the North West to eight months in the East district. 

• Row/Townhouses: Despite a nine per cent drop in sales to 318 units, new listings increased by almost four per cent. Inventory levels more than doubled to 655 units, though they remained below historical averages for February. The South and East districts had the tightest conditions, with under 1.5 months of supply, while the North East had nearly three months. 

• Apartment Condominiums: Sales fell by 26 per cent to 473 units but remained above long-term averages for February. New listings were relatively stable year-over-year at 852 units, the highest on record for the month. This led to a 90 per cent increase in inventory, pushing months of supply to 3.1 months—still below record levels observed between the 2014 oil crash and the pandemic. 

Regional Market Highlights

• Airdrie: Sales declined by nearly nine per cent to 123 units. New listings increased by nearly 23 per cent to 225 units, doubling inventory levels to 345 homes. The benchmark price was $537,600, 1.6 per cent higher than in February 2024.

• Cochrane: Sales reached 75 units, with new listings at 126 units, both above long-term averages. Inventory rose by over 48 per cent year-over-year to 196 units. The benchmark price increased by over five per cent to $577,100. 

• Okotoks: Sales saw a four per cent year-over-year decline to 45 units. New listings increased by seven per cent compared to 2024, totaling 60 units. Inventory recovered to 69 units, 19 per cent above 2024. The benchmark price was relatively flat compared to January and under one per cent higher than in 2024. 

Final Thoughts: A Market in Transition

February 2025 marked a noticeable shift in Calgary’s housing market dynamics. While sales remained above long-term trends, the increase in inventory and moderation in price growth indicate a cooling from the intense seller’s market of previous years. Detached and semi-detached homes continue to see price appreciation, while row and apartment-style properties are experiencing a more gradual upward trend.

For buyers, the growing inventory and easing market conditions may present opportunities, especially in segments where months of supply are increasing. For sellers, strategic pricing and well-prepared listings will be key to standing out in a more balanced environment.

As Calgary’s real estate landscape continues to evolve, staying informed is crucial for making well-timed decisions. Whether you're buying, selling, or simply watching the market, working with an experienced real estate professional ensures you navigate these changes with confidence.

In January 2025, Calgary's housing market experienced notable shifts, with increased inventory levels and a slight moderation in sales activity. According to the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB), inventory levels rose to 3,639 units, marking a 70% year-over-year increase. Despite this significant gain, inventories remain below the typical January levels of over 4,000 units. The rise in supply was primarily driven by a boost in new listings, which reached 2,896 units in January compared to 1,451 sales. This influx of new listings contributed to a months of supply figure of 2.5 months, an improvement from the one month reported last year, yet still considered low for a winter month.

Sales activity in January saw a 12% decline compared to the same month last year, totaling 1,451 transactions. However, it's important to note that despite this decrease, sales levels remained nearly 30% higher than the typical figures recorded in January. The total residential benchmark price was reported at $583,000, which is relatively stable compared to the end of last year and nearly 3% higher than January 2024. Price growth varied across different districts and property types within the city.

Detached Homes

New listings for detached homes increased by 29% year-over-year, reaching 1,228 units in January. Sales activity in this segment slowed to 674 units, aligning with long-term trends. The improvement in new listings relative to sales supported inventory gains; however, the 1,448 units in inventory are still nearly 27% lower than typical January levels. The months of supply remained relatively low at just over two months. The unadjusted benchmark price for detached homes was $750,800, slightly higher than the previous month and 7% higher than January 2024.

Semi-Detached Homes

The semi-detached sector experienced gains in new listings relative to sales, leading to some increases in inventory levels. Sales in January improved over last year, keeping the months of supply just below two months. Notably, the City Centre, North East, and West districts reported near or above three months of supply, while other districts maintained less than two months. The unadjusted benchmark price was $673,600, slightly lower than the previous month but over 8% higher than January 2024. Districts with higher months of supply saw modest monthly price declines, while others experienced stable to modest gains.

Row Homes

In 2024, row home sales reached 4,647 units, a gain of over 2% compared to the previous year and the second-highest total on record. The growth in sales was facilitated by an 18% increase in new listings, particularly for homes priced above $400,000. This rise in new listings relative to sales supported inventory growth throughout 2024. By year-end, the improved supply helped alleviate some pressure on home prices. However, the annual benchmark price still rose by 14% as conditions favored sellers throughout the year. Price increases were observed across all city districts, ranging from 12% in the City Centre to over 20% in the North East and East districts.

Apartment Condominiums

January reported a boost in new listings compared to sales activity in the apartment condominium segment, causing inventory levels to rise to 589 units—more than double the near-record low levels reported last January. This increase brought inventories more in line with long-term trends. The months of supply also improved, pushing above two months, a trend that began in the second half of last year. While improving supply relative to sales has taken some pressure off home prices, this effect has not been consistent across the city. Citywide, the unadjusted benchmark price was $444,900, slightly lower than the previous month but nearly 5% higher than last year. The largest monthly adjustment occurred in the North East district.

Regional Markets

• Airdrie: Sales in January remained consistent with levels reported in the previous month and last year, both well above long-term trends. A boost in new listings led to improved inventory levels, with the months of supply remaining above two months for the fifth consecutive month. The unadjusted benchmark price was $537,300, down from the previous month but nearly 4% higher than last year.

  
  

• Cochrane: Improved levels of new listings and inventories were observed, with 104 new listings in January compared to 71 sales, pushing inventories up to 156 units. While inventory levels are better than the past three years, they still fall short of long-term trends for January. The unadjusted benchmark price was $565,900, down from the previous month but nearly 5% higher than last January.

  
  

• Okotoks: New listings remained relatively low compared to last year. While a pullback in sales supported some improvements in inventory levels, the 68 units available in January are still half the levels available in January prior to the pandemic. Limited supply has driven much of the price gains in this market since 2021.

Overall, Calgary's housing market in January 2025 is showing signs of moving toward more balanced conditions, with increased inventory levels and moderated sales activity. While prices have remained relatively stable, variations exist across different property types and districts within the city.

A Shift Toward Balance in the Market?

As we step into 2025, Calgary’s real estate market continues to evolve, showing signs of increased inventory and a more balanced environment compared to last year. While the market remains active, rising inventory levels and a slight cooling in demand suggest a shift from the ultra-competitive conditions seen in previous months.

January 2025 kicked off with a notable increase in new listings, giving buyers more options across different property types. However, prices have held steady, reflecting the continued demand for housing in Calgary and surrounding areas. Despite this, affordability concerns, economic factors, and interest rate movements continue to play a role in shaping buyer and seller behavior.

In this market update, we’ll break down key statistics, trends across property types, and regional highlights to help you stay informed on Calgary’s real estate landscape. Whether you’re a homebuyer, seller, or investor, understanding these trends will help you make smart decisions in the months ahead.

January saw 1,451 sales across the Calgary region, a 12% decline year-over-year, but still above long-term January trends. The most significant shift came in new listings, which surged to 2,896 units, creating a sales-to-new-listings ratio of 50%. This influx brought inventory levels to 3,639 units, improving buyer choice but keeping the market competitive.
