Calgary Real Estate Market Update – December 2024

2024 was an exciting year for Calgary’s real estate market, and as we wrapped up December, there were some key trends worth sharing. While sales in December were slightly lower than last year (down 3%), they were still 20% above long-term averages. This highlights how resilient and in-demand our market remains. Residential benchmark prices closed the year at $593,608, reflecting a strong 7.4% increase year-over-year.

Inventory has been a hot topic throughout 2024. By December, there were just under 3,000 active listings—a big improvement from the tighter levels we saw earlier in the year. This shift has started to provide more options for buyers, especially in higher price ranges.

Detached homes remain a favorite, with a benchmark price of $747,500, up 7.2% from last year. Semi-detached homes also saw strong growth, with prices climbing 8.4% to $677,600. Row homes and apartments have continued to gain momentum, with benchmark prices reaching $447,400 and $332,400, respectively. Interestingly, the most affordable areas, like the Northeast and East districts, saw some of the fastest price growth, as buyers continue to seek value in Calgary’s diverse housing options.

Looking ahead to 2025, we’re expecting more balance in the market as inventory levels continue to improve. That said, demand is still strong—especially for homes priced under $600,000—so opportunities for both buyers and sellers remain promising.

If you’re thinking about making a move, buying your first home, or exploring investment opportunities, I’d love to help. Let’s chat about how these trends could impact your plans and find the best path forward for you.

My absolute favourite animal. How cute are they?

International Red Panda Day was first celebrated in 2015. The red panda was first "discovered" in 1825 by British zoologist Brian Houghton Hodgson (but I am sure many many people knew about it before Brian wrote home about it!) 😆 They are currently on the endangered list due to habitat loss and degradation, as well as from human interference and poaching. In the last 20 years it is believed that the red panda population has declined by 40%!

I think it is a great night to pop some popcorn and watch some great Red Panda shows! Obviously there is Turning Red on Disney, but there is also Cherub of the Mist and Red Panda, The World's Cutest Animal. Sooooo, they aren't movie famous in the way that the black and white pandas are.... we will have to work on that! 😁

Another stunning day for an inspection with our amazing clients and at this beautiful building! 🏙️ While the apartment itself is fantastic (in my opinion), my personal favorite perk is how close it is to and - literally out the back door and a 10 second walk! 🛍️✨ Convenience and style all in one place.

August 2024 Calgary market report.

The Calgary market moved away from the "extreme sellers market" it has been seeing lately due to lower overall sales and more available properties thanks in part to new home construction starts and an increase in new listings. That being said, the inventory gains come mostly from listings of higher priced properties, with the most affordable homes seeing continued declines in inventory.

If you have questions about what this means for your property, or if you would like more specific information, please send me a message!

Sunshine and slurpees before Lego Club! Did you know that the Calgary Public Library has (FREE!) programs for kids? Lego club happens most weeks through the year, and there are various locations and times around the city. It is a great way to get out on cold winter days, or have somewhere cool to go on hot summer days! There are amazing volunteers who interact with the kids, and you can hop on your laptop and get some work done, or sit and read uninterrupted for an hour!

The Bank of Canada dropped it's policy rate by .25% for the first time in 4 years. While the impact may not be huge right now, it is potentially a sign of further decreases to come. 🤞

The Bank of Canada today reduced its target for the overnight rate to 4¾%, with the Bank Rate at 5% and the deposit rate at 4¾%. The Bank is continuing its policy of balance sheet normalization.

While I have moved away from actively working as a Property Manager, I still maintain my Property Management License and I still come across INSANE situations involving Landlords and Tenants. I want to just remind everyone that there are 2 documents that landlords and tenants should be very familiar with. The Residential Tenancies Act and the Minimum Housing and Health Standards for Alberta are both readily available online for download. There is also a toll free number you can call to reach Service Alberta if you have specific questions or you can email them as well if you would prefer to get answers in writing. You can also call Alberta Health Services to report health concerns and request an inspection and there is the RTDRS (Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service) should you need to seek additional help or compensation. There are many law firms and agencies with quick guides and FAQ sheets too. Make sure you know what your rights are, as well as what the expectations are, for you as a tenant or a landlord.

Taking a time out and reviewing March/Q1 statistics and today's new listings with a coffee while the kiddo is playing with Lego. Hope everyone is having an amazing day - how great is it to see some sunshine (and NO snow!) in the forecast for the week ahead? 🌞
