Understanding Calgary’s Housing Market Entering Q2 2025: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know

As we enter Q2, signs of a slowing Calgary market at the end of March are helping shift real estate conditions toward a more balanced landscape. This emerging trend of a balanced market along with a historically strong Spring cycle will allow Calgary’s market to remain  active over the coming months. However, it is important to note that market conditions are specific and significantly vary depending on location, price point, and property type.
Both buyers and sellers must stay informed about the trends and forecasts that will shape the year. At Rob & Kim, we’re here to guide you through the shifting market to make confident decisions. Here’s a summary of what to expect in 2025:

For Buyers in 2025:

1. Property Prices
   Both detached and semi-detached housing prices should continue to rise, but at a slower pace while apartment condos and higher priced row housing will likely experience a slight decrease in pricing. Rob and Kim can help you time your purchase wisely to avoid overpaying.
2. Inventory Levels
   Inventory supplies will continue to improve across all property types. However, expect inventory of the high-demand product types like detached and semi-detached houses in sought-out neighbourhoods to remain relatively limited in comparison. We can help you access listings quickly and give you an edge in this competitive market by sharing our knowledge of which properties will sell quickly and with multiple offers.
3. Interest Rates
   Fluctuating interest rates and pricing can affect your buying buyer in a manner you may not have considered. Contemplate a buyer while waiting for interest rates to decrease, housing prices increase at a quicker pace, effectively off-setting or entirely eliminating the financial benefit of waiting for a lower interest rate. Rob and Kim along with their mortgage experts will help you understand how this impacts your budget and financing options.

For Sellers in 2025:

1. Property Value and Timing
   Despite forecasting slower growth, Calgary sellers can continue to expect good prices on single family and duplex properties. Although, the prices in the townhouse and condo apartment segments will vary, most sellers should expect to sell higher than pre-2020 averages. Rob and Kim will help you understand the best time to list for maximum value.
2. Seasonal Trends
   Historically Spring and Fall sees the most activity. However, current economic factors may have buyers waiting on the sidelines until later in the year pushing the highest demand cycles into Fall and Winter. Learn why listing your home during a slower cycle may be advantageous. Rob and Kim will offer strategies for listing and guide you through the process.
3. Marketing Your Property
   Rob and Kim offer tailored marketing strategies including staging and presentation advice to showcase your home’s best features, ensuring it stands out in the competitive market.
