Calgary Housing Market Heats Up: Daily, Monthly, and Yearly Trends Unveiled
Calgary's real estate market remains a hot topic, with average prices continuing to climb even as more homes hit the market. While price growth has cooled slightly for some property types, the city's overall appeal keeps demand high.
As of Monday, November 17, 2025, daily activity saw 24 properties sold, a consistent mid-November pace. Twenty-five new listings suggest the market is seeing a healthy influx of inventory, potentially offering more choice for buyers. Median prices are around $556,195, with average prices at $579,950, indicating current stability.
Looking at monthly trends, November sales totaled 787, a notable jump from October’s 636, showing robust buyer confidence. New listings soared to 1,307, giving buyers more options, which is a welcome sight in what has been a tight market. The average price nudged up to $600,864, reflecting positive momentum.
Yearly figures tell an even bigger story of Calgary’s allure: 20,900 sales year-to-date demonstrate significant long-term growth. The median price sits at $577,000, while the average price, at $629,439, continues its upward trajectory, underscoring the city's vibrancy. This sustained interest is fueled by Calgary's robust economy, a strong job market (despite recent unemployment rate increases), and its relative affordability compared to other major Canadian cities. Calgary has consistently been ranked among the most affordable major Canadian cities for housing, particularly compared to Toronto and Vancouver.
For potential buyers, this means more listings could translate to less intense bidding wars and a better chance to find a home that fits your needs. While prices are rising year-over-year, the increase in inventory offers a window of opportunity. For sellers, strong sales volumes and rising average prices mean your property is likely to attract attention. While the market isn't as "red-hot" as in previous years, strategic pricing and presentation will ensure a good return. Calgary's population is projected to grow significantly, intensifying housing demand, especially in family-friendly neighbourhoods. However, some forecasts suggest a slight decline in house prices short-term due to economic uncertainties before price growth in 2026-2027.
