The Calgary market is definitely shifting! 👀🏡

If you've been wondering what's happening in real estate right now, here's the quick and easy version:

✨ More homes are hitting the market
✨ Buyers have more options than we've seen in a while
✨ Detached homes are still holding strong
✨ Condos are becoming more buyer-friendly
✨ Overall, we're sitting in a much more balanced market

Here's what that means:

🏠 For Sellers

Pricing your home correctly matters more than ever
Buyers have choices, so presentation and marketing are key
Well-prepared homes are still selling

🔑 For Buyers

Less competition than we've seen in recent years
More inventory to choose from
More time to make decisions (without feeling rushed)

📊 A few quick stats:

Sales were down 16% compared to last May
Inventory is up, giving buyers more options
Condo prices are down 9% year-over-year
Detached home prices have remained relatively stable

The days of listing a home and hoping for 15 offers by dinner are mostly behind us. We're seeing a healthier, more balanced market where strategy matters for both buyers and sellers.

Everyone asks: 'Mel, should I wait until April?'

While everyone else is waiting for the flowers to bloom, smart buyers and sellers are making moves now. Inventory is starting to wake up, and we're seeing some serious heat in certain Calgary micro-markets.

Here’s the tea:

Inventory is Waking Up 🏡
The Tea: The 'Winter Chill' is officially thawing! We’ve seen a 7.3% jump in new listings this month as sellers start prepping for Spring early. For you? This means more options and less of that 'there's nothing to buy' frustration we saw in December.
Mel’s Pro-Tip: Don't wait for the 'Spring Explosion' in April when everyone else lists. Shopping now means you see the fresh inventory before the crowds arrive.

Buyers are Out of Hibernation 👟
The Tea: Foot traffic is up! Showings are getting busier, and that 'pent-up demand' is starting to leak out. While we aren't quite in the 2021 bidding-war era, the 'Serious Buyers' are out in full force right now.
Mel’s Pro-Tip: If you’re a buyer, get that pre-approval updated now. In this market, the 'prepared' buyer wins the house while the 'undecided' buyer is still checking their emails.

The "Affordability Sweet Spot" 📉
The Tea: Here’s the real tea: Mortgage rates have stabilized significantly compared to last year (hovering around the 4.5% - 5% mark for many). Combined with home prices that are finally moderating, February 2026 is looking like the most 'balanced' month we've had in years.
Mel’s Pro-Tip: Waiting for rates to hit 2% again is like waiting for a unicorn. The 'sweet spot' is when you find a house you love at a payment you can afford today.

Refuelling for a big week ahead!

Real estate moves fast, but Sundays are for slowing down.

Some things I did today that make me happy, and top off the weekend and prepare for a great week ahead:
· Got the patio dusted off, lights up in preparation for the sun and Spring
· A little night time fire
· Made a great meal, like this Korean BBQ pork belly (a fave in our house!)
