When Is the Right Time to Buy or Sell Real Estate?

If you’ve ever talked to friends, family, or even scrolled through social media about real estate, you’ve probably heard it all:

“Wait until rates drop.”
“Spring is the best time to sell.”
“You should buy now before prices go up again!”

Here’s the truth: there’s no universally “perfect” time to buy or sell a home. The right time is when it aligns with your life, your plans, and your financial comfort level.

Timing the Market vs. Timing Your Life:

Real estate markets will always move up and down, interest rates change, inventory shifts, and buyer demand fluctuates. But trying to perfectly “time the market” is nearly impossible. What matters more is timing your move with your personal goals.

Maybe you’re thinking of buying because your family is growing and you need more space. Or perhaps you’re considering selling because you’re ready to downsize or relocate. Those motivations matter far more than what a chart or headline says.

If the move fits your long-term plans and you’re in a position to do it comfortably, that’s your right time.

The Role of Your Realtor:

That’s where your realtor comes in. A good agent’s job isn’t to pressure you into acting fast or waiting it out, it’s to give you the right information so you can make a confident, informed decision.

Your realtor should help you understand:

  • What the current market conditions actually mean for you (not just in general terms)

  • How your budget, financing, and lifestyle goals fit into today’s market

  • What strategies can help you buy or sell effectively, no matter the season

When you have clarity and confidence, the timing becomes much less about the market and much more about you.

Conclusion:

The right time to buy or sell isn’t about catching the market at its peak or its bottom, it’s about making a move that aligns with your life, supported by the right guidance along the way.

If you’re wondering whether now might be the right time, don’t start with the market, start with a conversation. Because in real estate, the best timing is always personal.

If you’re curious about what’s happening in the market or thinking about making a move, let’s connect - I’d be happy to help you figure out what the right timing looks like for you.

Calgary Real Estate Market Update - September 2025

The Calgary real estate market is always shifting, and this fall is no exception. The Bank of Canada dropped the policy rate to 2.50% on Sept 17, but the market isn’t exactly taking off just yet. While rate cuts usually light a fire under buyers, this month’s numbers show a market that’s still finding its balance.

Let’s take a look at what the stats are telling us and why this might be the perfect window buyers have been waiting for.

September Report:

  • Benchmark price: $572,800 ⬇️ 4.0% year-over-year

  • Sales: 1,720 homes ⬇️ 14.0%

  • New listings: 3,782 ⬆️ 2.6%

  • Inventory: 6,916 homes ⬆️ 36.5%

  • Months of supply: 4.02 ⬆️ 58.7%

  • Days on market: 42 days (up from 28 last year)

In short: buyers are taking their time, sellers are adjusting, and inventory is finally giving people some real choice again.

CREB’s Chief Economist, Ann-Marie Lurie, notes that the surge in new listings across resale, new home, and rental markets is giving buyers more options just as demand softens due to slower population growth and economic uncertainty. The result? Less urgency, more negotiation room, and modest price pullbacks across most property types.

The Bank of Canada Factor:

The 25-basis-point rate cut should’ve boosted activity, but it didn’t, at least not yet.

Here’s what’s happening:

  • Buyers are still cautious, even with better affordability.

  • Rate cuts alone aren’t enough to kick-start demand when confidence is shaky.

  • Economic uncertainty is keeping a lot of people in “wait and see” mode.

  • So yes, borrowing costs are down, but the mindset hasn’t caught up yet.

Buyers Finally Have Leverage:

With over 4 months of supply (the highest since 2020) and a sales-to-new-listings ratio of just 45%, the market has clearly shifted toward buyers.

If you’re buying right now, here’s what you get:

  • Over 7,000 homes to choose from

  • More time to think (45 days on market, on average)

  • Negotiating power

  • Freedom to include conditions without losing out

If you’re selling:

  • You’re competing with over 7,000 listings

  • Buyers expect flexibility

  • Pricing right from the start is more important than ever

Property Market Breakdowns:

Condos: This segment saw the sharpest shift.

  • Sales: 401 (down 20.1%)

  • New listings: 924

  • Sales-to-new-listings ratio: 43%

  • Inventory: 1,999 units

  • Benchmark price: $322,900 (down 6%)

With nearly five months of supply, the first time since 2021, the apartment market now leans solidly in favour of buyers, especially with more rental supply easing urgency for both first-time buyers and investors.

Townhomes: More stable but still cooling.

  • Sales: 304

  • New listings: 592

  • Inventory: 1,099

  • Benchmark price: $437,100 (down ~5%)

Inventory is at its highest September level since 2018. The North East district continues to see the largest softening here.

Detached: Still the market’s anchor.

  • Sales: 859

  • New listings: 1,905

  • Benchmark price: $749,900 (down 1%)

While new listings rose and the sales-to-new-listings ratio dropped to 45% (a level not seen since 2018), detached homes remain relatively balanced compared to condos and rows.

Semi-Detached: Surprisingly resilient this fall.

  • Sales: 156

  • New listings: 361

  • Benchmark price: $684,800 (up 1%)

Inventory has climbed, but prices have barely budged, up slightly year-over-year thanks to solid demand in the City Centre.

District Snapshot:

  • East: $409,000 ⬇️ 6.5%

  • North East: $485,000 ⬇️ 7.9%

  • North: $534,900 ⬇️ 6.0%

  • South East: $563,800 ⬇️ 3.2%

  • South: $569,100 ⬇️ 3.7%

  • City Centre: $576,800 ⬇️ 4.4%

  • North West: $633,200 ⬇️ 2.1%

  • West: $707,300 ⬇️ 2.3%

The most affordable areas (East and North East) continue to see the steepest price adjustments, while higher-end districts show more resilience.

Why This Buyer Window Won’t Last: 

Right now, buyers have the most leverage they’ve had in years. But this balance won’t last forever.

Here’s why:

  • Rates could keep dropping, sparking demand again.

  • Calgary’s economy and migration trends are still strong.

  • Builders are facing delays, limiting future supply.

  • Once sentiment shifts, competition will pick up again and these price dips might disappear.

What to Watch Next:

  • The next Bank of Canada rate announcement

  • Employment and confidence trends

  • Whether inventory keeps rising or starts to level off

  • The typical winter slowdown leading into spring 2026

Conclusion:

September made one thing clear, Calgary’s market has officially tipped in favour of buyers. With prices down around 4% year-over-year and inventory climbing, there’s finally some breathing room for anyone looking to make a move.

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the right moment, this might just be it.

And whether you’re planning to buy while conditions are in your favour or looking to position your home competitively in a shifting market, having the right strategy and guidance will make all the difference.
