📊 April 2025 Calgary & Area Real Estate Market Update

Balanced Conditions Return as Inventory Rises

As we moved through April, the Calgary and surrounding real estate markets showed signs of stabilization — a welcome shift for buyers, sellers, and investors who have been navigating years of tight inventory and rapid price growth.

Here’s what you need to know:


🏡 Market at a Glance: Balanced, But Varied

April saw a significant increase in inventory across the city, with 5,876 units on the market — more than double last year’s exceptionally low levels, but right on track with what we typically see for April.

  • Sales hit 2,236 units, down 22% from last year but still in line with long-term trends.

  • Balanced conditions emerged with nearly 3 months of supply, reducing upward pressure on prices.

  • Price growth is slowing but still positive year-over-year for many property types.

“While economic uncertainty has weighed on sales, stable employment, increased supply, and population growth have helped maintain overall market resilience,” says Ann-Marie Lurie, Chief Economist at CREB®.


🏠 Detached Homes

Detached home sales dropped 16% year-over-year to 1,102 units, but demand remains strong — especially for homes under $700,000.

  • Benchmark price: $769,300

  • Up 2% from last year

  • Inventory: 2,511 units

  • Sales-to-new-listings ratio: 58%

  • Tightest conditions remain in the Southeast and lower price ranges


🏘 Semi-Detached Homes

A softening in sales (190 units) and rising inventory has helped move this segment toward balance.

  • Benchmark price: $691,700

  • Up 3% year-over-year

  • Months of supply: 2.6

  • City Centre led price growth with a 5% increase


🏡 Row Homes

April brought the highest inventory levels for row homes since 2021, helping relieve some pressure on pricing.

  • Benchmark price: $457,400

  • Largely unchanged from last year

  • North & Northeast districts saw minor price declines, offset by gains elsewhere


🏢 Apartment Condos

After record-breaking activity last year, sales pulled back nearly 30%, though still outpacing long-term norms.

  • Benchmark price: $336,000

  • Holding steady year-over-year

  • Northeast Calgary saw the biggest correction, with prices down 2%
