What Calgary Sellers Need to Know About the May 2025 Market Shift

If you're a Calgary homeowner considering selling, May’s market update from the Calgary Real Estate Board brings both insight and opportunity.

Yes, residential sales were down 17% compared to May 2024—but don’t let that headline scare you. Calgary is still outperforming long-term sales trends for this time of year, with 2,568 homes sold—11% higher than what we usually see in May.

More importantly for sellers: Detached and semi-detached home prices remain steady and higher than last year, thanks to continued demand in low-supply pockets of the market.

The increase in inventory is creating more balance, which gives sellers the chance to compete strategically rather than rely solely on market heat. If your home is priced right and marketed effectively, it can still generate strong interest.

Buyers and investors are also watching closely. With apartment and row homes experiencing modest price declines due to improved rental and new-build supply, they’re finding new entry points into the market.
