🌸 CREB® Spring 2025 Calgary & Region Housing Market Update

CREB® releases spring 2025 Calgary and region housing market update (June 23, 2025)

Overview
The latest update from the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®), released June 23, 2025, reveals a shift toward balanced market conditions across Calgary and surrounding communities. Despite a year-over-year decline in sales, comparison to long-term trends indicates continued relative strength in the housing sector.

📊 Key Insights & Data (Spring 2025)

1. Sales & Inventory

• March sales dropped –19% y/y to 2,159 units, yet remain above 2015–2020 levels (creb.com, marniecampbell.ca, creb.com).

• New listings surged ~27–29% y/y, pushing inventory to over 5,000 units, with 2–3 months of supply—a more balanced figure than last spring (creb.com).

2. Benchmark Prices

• Overall benchmark hovers around $590 K–$592 K, stable compared to last year (creb.com).

• Detached homes average $769,000–$770,000, up ~4% y/y; semi‑detached around $691,000, up ~5%; row/townhomes $450–460K (+2–3%); apartments $336K (+3%) (creb.com).

3. Market Shift

Inventory growth and moderated sales indicate Calgary’s market is moving away from seller dominance toward a balanced state, giving buyers more selection and negotiation room, especially in higher-density and upper-priced segments (realestatemagazine.ca).

🔍 What This Means for Buyers & Sellers

• Buyers:

  • Better market choice and negotiating leverage, particularly in apartment, row, and upper-end detached segments.

  • Still-competitive conditions persist for desirable, under-$700 K homes—inventory remains modest.

• Sellers:

  • Homes still sell above list price (~98–99%) but escalate days-on-market.

  • Price expectations should be realistic—don’t expect multiple offers in all segments.

• Investors / Developers:

  • Record-breaking new home completions and rental projects are alleviating supply shortages—great timing to engage in multi-unit developments (creb.com, creblink.com).

⚠️ Key Risks & Forecast Considerations

• External forces: Economic uncertainty—like tariffs or federal policy changes—remain a wildcard (wowa.ca, creblink.com).

• New construction influx: High completions will continue to ease resale inventory, offering more options for buyers—but moderating price growth to ~3% for the year (creblink.com).
