Thoughtful upgrades and extra space are what set this 4-level split apart. Here’s what makes it worth a closer look. 🏡

Across from a peaceful park at 2712 Conrad Drive NW in Charleswood, this custom 4-bedroom, 2-bath home features more than 2100 sf of living space. You’ll notice quality right from the Hardie-board siding, long-lasting metal roof, and vinyl windows, plus two decks and central A/C for year-round comfort. Inside, it's carpet-free thanks to the expanded ceramic-tiled foyer to hardwood on the main & upper floors and cork flooring in the lower level.

The beautiful kitchen features custom maple cabinetry, granite island, gas stove with dual ovens, and premium stainless-steel appliances, built for everyday cooking or hosting friends. Upstairs, find bright bedrooms and a main bath with jetted tub and a smart laundry chute. The lower level’s rec room is perfect for movie nights or a play area, and the terraced backyard is ready for your next BBQ, complete with a Trex deck and brick patio. And don't forget about the oversized, double detached garage.

Listed at $939,900, this move-in-ready Charleswood home is an easy choice for buyers seeking space, storage, and thoughtful upgrades.

Calgary’s apartment condo market is shifting, creating a very different landscape for buyers and sellers right now. 🏢

According to the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®), recent inventory gains mean more choices for buyers but tougher competition for sellers. CREB® Chief Economist Ann-Marie Lurie explains: "The rise in supply, particularly in the apartment sector, has started to shift the market toward more balanced conditions, offering buyers more selection than we’ve seen in recent years."

What you need to know to navigate the shift:

- Buyers have more flexibility to negotiate terms and explore listings.
- Sellers need a standout marketing strategy, as price adjustments are becoming more common.
- Sales have slowed, allowing for more due diligence and comparing options.
- Market confidence varies by district; understanding neighbourhood dynamics is essential.
- Presentation is everything, condition and amenities are key to grabbing attention. ✨

As condo dynamics evolve, making an informed decision is the best way to capitalize on current shifts and avoid common pitfalls.

What makes semi-detached homes in Calgary stand out for buyers and sellers? 🏡 Here’s how their unique market conditions shape your next move, backed by the latest insights from the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®).

Semi-detached homes in Calgary have held steady even as other property types experience bigger shifts. Ann-Marie Lurie, CREB® Chief Economist, notes that "the semi-detached segment has seen more balanced conditions compared to other property types," creating a stable environment for both buyers considering an upgrade and sellers looking to list with confidence.

Key market insights:
- Most semi-detached listings avoid the price swings seen in apartments and row houses.
- In areas like the West District, these homes often see stronger sale prices thanks to tight supply.
- City Centre options remain consistent, offering steady value for buyers wanting a central location.
- In the North East, some softening has appeared, but the selection gives flexibility to first-time purchasers.
- Compared to apartments, semi-detached properties see less impact from new construction or oversupply.
- This segment is ideal for those seeking a blend of privacy and affordability without giving up on outdoor space.
- For sellers, well-maintained semi-detached homes in core neighbourhoods attract ready buyers quickly. 🚗

Knowing these trends helps you navigate your choices and decide when to act in Calgary’s changing market.
