Homes are still selling.
Let’s just be clear about that.

What’s changed? The frenzy.

We’re back in a more balanced detached market here in Calgary — which means strategy matters again. Pricing matters. Marketing matters. Knowing your specific neighbourhood really matters.

It’s not about throwing a big number on the MLS and “seeing what happens.” The homes that are moving are the ones positioned properly from day one.

And here’s the thing — not every area is behaving the same. Some pockets are still incredibly competitive. Others require a more thoughtful plan.

If you’re even thinking about selling this year, let’s make sure you actually know your market — not just the headlines.

We’d love to build you a smart, experience-backed strategy that gets you the right result.

Everyone hears “balanced market” and thinks,
“Sweet. We can chill.”

Not quite.

Yes, buyers have more options right now. But in Calgary, the good homes — detached, established neighbourhoods, priced right — are still moving -- Fast. The ones that sit? They’re just the loud distraction making the market look slower than it actually is.

So when someone says, “We’ll wait and see…” that’s often the exact moment their house gets sold to someone who didn’t wait.

This market isn’t about panic. It’s about knowing your pocket. Some areas are buyer-friendly. Some are still competitive. And unless you live in MLS all day like we do, it’s easy to misread the timing.

That’s where we come in. Tell us where you’re looking — or what you’re thinking of selling — and we’ll give you the real story for your price range and neighbourhood. Strategy beats guessing every time.

Because around here? Good homes still don’t wait. 🏡

According to CREB, January was a slower start to the year, but not unusual for this time of year. Sales were down compared to last January, mainly in condos and townhomes, because buyers have more listings to choose from and don’t feel as rushed. More sellers listed their homes, which means there’s more inventory on the market — especially for apartments and row homes — while detached homes are still in tighter supply.

Prices overall are a bit lower than this time last year, mostly because condo and townhome prices softened, but things have been fairly steady compared to the end of 2025. In short: we’re in a more balanced market where strategy matters more than speed.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling, let’s chat about what this means for your home and timing.

01/22/2026

Here’s the thing we’re seeing on the ground 👇

A lot of buyers are assuming that because the market feels quieter, they have time to wait. Or that because some segments have softened, it’s automatically a buyer’s market everywhere. That’s simply not true. While some property types have more inventory, others are still seeing strong demand, limited selection, and competition on the right homes. When a well-priced home in a desirable area hits the market, hesitation can be the difference between owning it… or watching it sell to someone who moved sooner.

The Calgary market isn’t crashing — it’s recalibrating. And that means strategy matters more than timing the headlines. If you’ve found a home you love, waiting “just to see” can actually cost you more in the long run, whether that’s price, terms, or missing the opportunity altogether. Before you delay, let’s talk through the numbers, the neighbourhood, and the real competition so you can move forward confidently.

👉 Reach out to Monteith Houle Real Estate Team — we’ll help make sure you don’t miss out on the right home for the wrong reason.

Winning in any market 💪🏼

If we haven’t met yet, hi—I’m Janet. Over the years, my path has led me here – to The Monteith Houle Real Estate Team. I am delighted every day, and I may be biased, but I think it’s a great story how I ended up here.

I earned a degree in Biological Sciences from the University of Alberta and loved the information gathering and attention to detail that it required. However, I quickly realized my strengths straddled both the analytical and people-centered realms altering my trajectory somewhat.

I found the perfect mix of science, strategy, and human connection in pharmaceutical sales. For nearly 10 years, I thrived in a competitive industry—launching new products, earning top performance recognition, and building trusted relationships with pharmacists, physicians, and specialists.

That experience helped shape what I’m known for today:

▪️Strong customer service and trust
▪️Thoughtful market analysis and research
▪️Strategic planning with clients’ best interests in mind
▪️Long-lasting professional relationships

When our first child arrived, life took a meaningful turn. I surprised myself by choosing to step back professionally and focus on raising our two boys—a time I’m incredibly grateful for and will always cherish.

Once both kids were in school, I felt ready to return to work in a way that truly fit who I am. Real estate felt like a natural next step—and from my very first client, I knew I’d found my professional “home.”

Approaching my 15th year in real estate, I’m still driven by what matters most:

▪️Genuine client connections
▪️Smart strategies and market insight
▪️Intelligent negotiations to help clients achieve the best possible outcomes

* * *

Reach out any time. I am excited to share my insights and look forward to many more years of building relationships and guiding clients home.
