With the cost of living on the rise, many homeowners are skipping big renovations and opting for smaller, smarter updates instead. A few DIY refreshes can make your home feel brand new, create a great space for summer hosting and even add value, all without breaking the bank.

Something to note: Some major updates can affect your home's replacement value, so you should check with your insurer before starting. Some providers, such as Belairdirect, have apps that let you review your coverage, get a quote in minutes and make updates easily, all from your phone. That way, you can move forward with confidence and get straight to the fun part:

1. Give your space an instant facelift. You don’t need a full renovation to make your home feel fresh. A coat of paint or swapping outdated cabinet hardware, door handles and light fixtures can make a big visual impact and are easy to do yourself.
2. Set the mood with smarter lighting. Good lighting changes how a space looks and feels. You can get brighter, longer-lasting light at a lower energy cost by replacing incandescent bulbs with LEDs. Outside, solar pathway lights or string lights can instantly create a warm, inviting atmosphere, perfect for that casual summer get-together.
3. Create your own backyard retreat. Pick one area and make it feel like an extension of your home. You can add shade with a canopy or umbrella, bring in comfortable seating, lay down an outdoor rug to define the space and add planters or flowers for a pop of colour.
4. Keep the cool air in. Check windows, doors and doorframes for small gaps that let cool air escape. Weatherstripping or caulking is a simple, affordable fix that helps keep your home comfortable year-round. A programmable thermostat can also help manage heating and cooling automatically when you're not home.
With a little creativity and a weekend or two, you can make your home feel like new again. Find more home tips at belairdirect.com.

Selling your home is a big decision with a lot of moving parts, but you don't have to navigate it alone.

Lean on a REALTOR®
A REALTOR® can help you figure out whether the timing is right, price your home competitively, and negotiate the best possible offer. Connecting with one early gives you expert guidance on where to focus your energy first.

Start with a plan, not panic
Rather than tackling everything at once, walk through your home with your REALTOR® and prioritize:
- Obvious repairs (roof, fencing, etc.)
- The condition of major appliances like your furnace
- Whether your living spaces feel open or cluttered

Should you renovate before selling?
Talk to your REALTOR® first, but generally:
- Kitchens and bathrooms offer the best return, even with smaller DIY updates
- Recent HVAC, roofing, or window upgrades work in your favour
- When time is tight, a deep clean and fresh paint go a long way

Your REALTOR®'s network
A good REALTOR® connects you with the right professionals, including a mortgage broker, home inspector, stager, cleaners, maintenance pros, and movers, so the process runs smoothly from listing to closing.

Boost your curb appeal
First impressions matter outside too. Keep the lawn and garden tidy, tend to the driveway and walkway, and refresh your front door with new paint or hardware.

Depersonalize the space
A stager will likely recommend purging clutter, boxing up personal items and keepsakes, and refreshing bedding so buyers can picture themselves in the home.

Ultimately, your REALTOR® is your biggest asset throughout the process, ready to answer your questions and help you feel confident every step of the way.

June sales in Calgary improved over May, reaching 2,197 units. Despite the monthly gains, sales were nearly four per cent lower than last year and just below the long-term average for June, largely due to pullbacks in apartment-style units. While sales are down across most price ranges so far this year, there have been gains in both the highest price ranges and the most affordable ranges across most property types. “The easing of demand for resale homes does not come as a surprise given the recent decline in migration, which is impacting both rental and ownership demand for higher-density homes. The bigger change in our market relates to inventory, which has been on the rise in the rental, resale and new-home markets following several consecutive years of record-high housing starts,” said Ann-Marie Lurie, Chief Economist at the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®). “Inventory growth has mostly occurred in high-density homes, resulting in buyer’s market conditions and steep price adjustments for condominium apartments. While it will take time to absorb the high-density supply, detached supply growth has been limited and some districts are reporting record-high prices.”

New listings are starting to pull back compared with 2025 and the sales-to-new-listings ratio rose to 56 per cent. This has slowed the pace of inventory growth in the market and kept the months of supply at just over three months. This is considered a balanced range in the city, but conditions vary across property types. The apartment condominium sector is experiencing buyer’s market conditions, with the months of supply at nearly five months and a sales-to-new-listings ratio of 45 per cent.

The range of conditions is also impacting prices. In June, the unadjusted benchmark price was $572,500, up over the previous month and two per cent below levels reported last June. However, apartment-style properties have reported an annual decline nearing nine per cent, leaving condominium prices in June at $299,000. Meanwhile, the benchmark price for a detached home rose over the previous month, reaching $750,500, one per cent below last year’s level, with most of the adjustments driven by specific pockets of the market.

07/09/2026

Calgary's real estate market saw 3.09 months of supply in June 2026, up 1.8% from June 2025.

What does this mean for you? More inventory gives buyers a bit more breathing room to make informed decisions, while sellers can still expect solid demand in a balanced market.
