Live Calgary supply, days on market, and pricing trends — read from the buyer's seat, by quadrant, property type, and price band.
Where supply is moving
A weekly snapshot, read from the buyer's seat. Green deltas mean the week tilted in your favour — more choice, more time, more price cuts. Red means the door narrowed.
The week tilted toward buyers. Active inventory is up year over year, homes are taking about four extra days to sell, and a growing share of sellers are cutting their list price within the first three weeks. That gives you room to view, compare, and write an offer with real comps behind it.
Use this week to build a short list and watch how long they sit. Anything over 21 days with no price change is usually a soft negotiation — that's your opening. Questions about what this means for your situation? Call or text William Nunn directly at 587-330-2265.
The Buyer's View
Inventory is climbing, days on market are stretching, and a real share of sellers are cutting their list price. Translation: buyers who come prepared with financing in place and sharp comps have the strongest hand in two years.
Every one of these arrows points your way. Months of supply just crossed 2.8 — under 2 is a tough seller's market, between 2 and 4 is balanced, and above 4 starts opening real buyer's room. Sale to list slid below 98 percent, which means most homes are now closing under asking.
The play is simple: get pre-approved before you shop, build a list of 5 to 8 homes you actually like, and write thoughtful offers with comps attached. You won't need to win a bidding war this month — you need to write the right offer once. Questions about what this means for your situation? Call or text William Nunn directly at 587-330-2265.
Where Buyers Win — by Calgary Quadrant
The Northeast has flipped firmly to a buyer's market with almost five months of supply. That's where the cleanest negotiation room lives right now — listings that have sat past 21 days are usually a phone call away from accepting 3 to 5 percent under ask. The Southeast is balanced; you have room, but bring real comps.
The Northwest is still tight at 1.6 months of supply, so if NW is where you want to land, come pre-approved, write quickly, and lead with a clean offer. Southwest is in between — fast but not frantic. Questions about what this means for your situation? Call or text William Nunn directly at 587-330-2265.
Where Value Lives — by Property Style
Condos and apartments are the standout buyer play right now. Inventory is at a five-year high and prices are softening, which gives you leverage on price, condo-fee disclosure, and possession dates. Semi-detached is mostly balanced — anything sitting more than a month is a real negotiation.
Townhouses are still the hottest type, especially under $500K, so come ready with pre-approval and don't try to win a townhouse with a lowball. Detached has cooled into a thoughtful market — fast, but no longer panic-buy. Questions about what this means for your situation? Call or text William Nunn directly at 587-330-2265.
Where Negotiation Room Lives
The luxury market over $1.5M is where buyers hold the strongest cards — nine months of supply and average closings landing 6 to 9 percent under list. The $600K to $900K band is the sweet spot for most move-up buyers, with real 3 to 4 percent negotiation room on listings that have been on market past 30 days.
Under $400K stays tight because first-time buyer demand still outruns supply. If that's your band, come pre-approved and write your strongest offer the first time — there's no second pass. Questions about what this means for your situation? Call or text William Nunn directly at 587-330-2265.
Where Buyers Win This January
Four in ten active listings have already cut their price at least once — that tells you what the seller really thinks the home is worth. Use today's price as your anchor, not the original list, and write to the gap between recent comps and current ask.
With 37 days median time on market and sellers giving back about 2.7 percent on average, you have real time to inspect, finance, and protect your downside. Keep your financing and inspection conditions in — most sellers are still accepting them. Questions about what this means for your situation? Call or text William Nunn directly at 587-330-2265.
6 Neighbourhoods Buyers Should Watch
The Beltline, Aspen Woods, and Saddle Ridge are the deepest buyer pockets right now — high inventory, soft sale-to-list ratios, and listings that have been around long enough to negotiate. Cranston and Seton give you real family choice without the panic.
University District is still tight — if that's your shortlist, you need to behave like it's a seller's market in that pocket only: pre-approval, fast showings, strongest offer first. Questions about what this means for your situation? Call or text William Nunn directly at 587-330-2265.
6 Buyer Plays for This Market
This is the same playbook I run with every buyer right now. Real pre-approval first, then a tight short list, then offers built on the last 45 days of sold comps. We keep your financing and inspection conditions in, and we negotiate on possession, inclusions, and credits as well as price.
The most under-rated buyer skill this month is walking away. With inventory climbing each week, the right home is usually one short drive — not one stretched offer — away. Questions about what this means for your situation? Call or text William Nunn directly at 587-330-2265.
