Blog > Why Spring 2025 Is the Perfect Time to Sell in Calgary AB
Spring is in the air, Calgary homeowners, and so is opportunity! As a seasoned real estate agent, I'm here to tell you why Spring 2025 might just be the golden moment you've been waiting for to list your property. Let's dive into why the stars are aligning for sellers in our vibrant city.
Market Momentum Is on Your Side
The Calgary real estate market is showing robust signs of growth. With an expected price increase of 4.5% in 2025, your home's value is on the rise. This means that by listing in spring, you're positioning yourself to catch the wave of this upward trend. Buyers are out in force, armed with growing confidence and the allure of falling interest rates.
Balanced Market Conditions
While we're seeing strong growth, the market is transitioning towards more balanced conditions. This sweet spot offers the best of both worlds – you can still command a good price for your home while enjoying a less frenzied selling process. The sales-to-new listings ratio is hovering around 50%, indicating a healthy balance between supply and demand.
Diverse Buyer Pool
Spring 2025 is bringing out all types of buyers:
- First-time buyers are eagerly entering the market, focusing on properties under $800,000.
- Move-up buyers are looking in the $800,000 to $2 million range.
- Retirees are eyeing villas and larger condos, often with budgets over $800,000.
- This diverse buyer pool means your property, regardless of its type or price point, has a good chance of finding its perfect match.
Strong Sales Forecast
CREB® predicts that 2025 will see over 26,000 units sold – that's 20% higher than long-term trends2. This increased activity means more potential buyers for your property, potentially leading to faster sales and better offers.
Pricing Sweet Spot
With the average detached home price in Calgary reaching $750,800 as of January 2025, and predictions of it potentially surpassing $800,000 this year, listing in spring puts you in an excellent position to maximize your return. Remember, as the year progresses, we might see more inventory hitting the market, potentially softening prices.
Seasonal Advantage
Spring has always been a favorite season for home buying. The weather is pleasant for viewings, gardens are in bloom, and families are looking to move before the new school year. By listing in spring, you're catching buyers when they're most motivated and active.
