📊 Calgary Real Estate: End of July Market Update & What It Means for You

As we move through the summer, July's market numbers are painting a clearer picture of where things are headed — and what that means whether you’re buying, selling, or just keeping an eye on the market.

Let’s break it down:


🏡 For Buyers: More Choices, Less Pressure

The biggest shift this summer? More inventory and slower sales. That means:

  • You have options. We're no longer in the hyper-competitive market of last year. There's room to breathe and time to find the right fit.

  • Apartments and row homes are down 1% year-over-year. These could offer the best value if you’re looking to get into the market or downsize.

  • Homes are staying on the market longer. While that gives you more negotiating power, great homes are still moving quickly — especially in popular areas.

Bottom line: It’s a more balanced playing field, but working with an agent who knows how to spot opportunities is still key.


🏠 For Sellers: Strong Prices, Rising Competition

If you're thinking of selling, here's what July's data shows:

  • Median prices are up 4.3% compared to last year. That’s solid appreciation and a strong sign if you're considering listing.

  • Inventory is up 83%. With more homes for buyers to choose from, presentation and pricing are everything.

  • Overpricing leads to longer time on market. Today’s buyers are more informed and selective — your listing needs to make a great first impression.

Bottom line: You can still sell for a great price, but success comes from smart strategy — not just putting a sign on the lawn.
