☀️ THINKING ABOUT MAKING CHESTERMERE HOME?

There is something special about living in a community with beautiful lake views, walking paths that stretch all the way to the city, family-friendly neighbourhoods and small-town charm, all just minutes from Calgary!

Here’s your October real estate update for Chestermere and what’s ahead for November. 🏡

📊 CHESTERMERE | OCTOBER MARKET

• 49 homes sold
• 142 new listings
• 291 properties in inventory
• 56 average days on market
• $683,800 benchmark price
• 5.94 months of supply

🌊 A LUXURY MARKET SURPRISE!

While overall sales have slowed across the Calgary region, sales of homes priced above $1.5 million have actually increased! These properties represent less than 4% of total sales, but it’s an interesting trend for our luxury and waterfront market.

🏡 WHAT’S AHEAD?

Heading into winter, we typically see fewer listings and sales. With just under six months of supply in Chestermere, buyers have more selection and opportunities to find the right home. For sellers, pricing and presentation remain key.

🏦 INTEREST RATES & THE ECONOMY

The Bank of Canada increased its key interest rate by 0.25% on October 28, bringing it to 2.50%. Canada’s economy is expected to grow approximately 2% annually in 2027 and 2028, with inflation gradually moving closer to the Bank’s 2% target by mid-2028.

✨ IS CHESTERMERE ON YOUR RADAR?

Whether you’re dreaming of lakefront living, looking for more space for your family or considering a move closer to Calgary, I’d love to show you what makes this community so special!

🍂 CHESTERMERE FALL MARKET UPDATE 🌊

September brought some encouraging signs as we head into fall!

📍 CHESTERMERE
51 sales | 135 new listings | 292 homes available | 5.73 months of supply | $690,200 benchmark price

Chestermere inventory came down from August, bringing months of supply back below six months, while prices remained relatively stable compared with last year.

📍 CALGARY
1,650 sales | 3,360 new listings | 6,500 active listings | just under 4 months of supply | $566,700 benchmark price

Calgary’s detached market remains relatively balanced, with just over three months of supply.

🍁 Why I LOVE the fall market:

For sellers, fall is one of my favourite times to showcase a home. 🍂🌊 The changing colours, beautiful views and cozy atmosphere make for stunning photography and video, allowing buyers to truly see the lifestyle your property offers. Buyers are also motivated to get settled before the winter months!

As we move through October and the rest of fall, we can expect a balanced market with opportunities on both sides, especially for properties that are priced strategically and marketed strategically.

If you’ve been thinking about buying or selling this could be a great window to make your move, with lower price ranges on townhouse/condos it’s also a great time to downsize or pick up an investment property! 💛

Feel free to give me a shout anytime! Coffee’s on me! 💛

🍂 CALGARY FALL MARKET UPDATE | SEPTEMBER 2026 🍂

Calgary’s Fall market is showing a healthier, more balanced environment and that creates opportunity for both buyers AND sellers!

📊 Compared with September 2025:
• 1,650 sales — down 4%
• 3,360 new listings — down 11%
• 6,500 active listings — down 6%
• Benchmark price: $566,700 — down less than 1%
• Average price: $646,198 — up nearly 5%
• 44 days on market — only slightly higher than last year
• Just under 4 months of supply

✨ What does this mean?

For buyers, there is more choice and less pressure than we saw during the peak seller-driven markets creating more opportunity to negotiate and find the right home.

For sellers, the reduction in new listings is encouraging. There are fewer new properties entering the market compared with last year, while demand remains active. Properly priced, well-presented homes stand out rather than getting lost in a crowded market.

🍁 Looking ahead to the next few months, CREB expects relatively balanced conditions to continue, particularly for detached and semi-detached homes, with prices expected to remain relatively stable.

So, is Fall a good time to make a move?

It sure is! Sellers homes stand out this time of year, especially with less on the market and the nice weather we’ve had! And buyers are making decisions before the snow flies and wanting to get settled before Christmas. But strategy matters. Pricing, presentation, timing and local expertise are more important than ever.

Whether you’re thinking about buying, selling or simply wondering what your home is worth, I’m always happy to give you an honest, local market perspective.

While it might be doom and gloom in the news right now it is not doom and gloom for real estate! 🤗 People are still buying and selling every day! 💛

Chestermere & Calgary Market Update for August

As summer comes to a close, the Chestermere market is shifting, there is more choice for buyers, more competition for sellers, and pricing matters more than ever.

🏡 CHESTERMERE
• 9 months of supply
• Prices ↓ just over 1% from last year
• Inventory remains elevated

For lakefront properties, location, views, frontage, condition, renovations and pricing continue to have a major impact on value.

📊 CALGARY | AUGUST 2026
• 1,660 sales ↓ 16%
• 3,141 new listings ↓ nearly 10%
• 6,509 homes in inventory
• $569,800 benchmark price ↓ ~1%
• Nearly 4 months of supply

🍁 FALL & WINTER OUTLOOK

CREB® is expecting a more balanced and selective market, with continued supply pressure and moderate demand.

💰 INTEREST RATES

On September 2, 2026, the Bank of Canada held its overnight rate at 2.25%.

The rate outlook is less certain as inflation remains elevated and energy prices and trade uncertainty continue to influence the economy.

My takeaway: Don’t make a real estate decision assuming rates will fall this fall or winter. The greater risk right now is that rates stay higher for longer or potentially increase.

📍 CHESTERMERE LAKEFRONT OWNERS

In a higher-inventory market, the right pricing strategy is critical.

Wondering what your property is actually worth today? I’d be happy to provide a current, property-specific market analysis.

Hi friends! I hope you’re all enjoying your Summer! Here’s your market update for July! ☀️

The market continues to normalize, creating opportunities for both buyers and sellers 🙌🏻

🏡 Chestermere:
• 47 homes sold
• 134 new listings (almost 3 new listings for every home sold)
• 318 active listings
• 53 average days on market
• Benchmark price: $706,000
• 6.77 months of supply

Across Calgary, CREB reported that inventory remains above long-term trends, helping ease the tight market we’ve experienced over the last few years. While sales have moderated from record highs, they’re still stronger than historical averages, and home prices have remained resilient, especially for detached homes.

What does this mean?
✔️ Buyers have more inventory, more time to compare homes, and greater negotiating power than they had a year ago.
✔️ Sellers are still achieving strong prices, but strategic pricing and great presentation are more important than ever as buyers have more choices.

With the Bank of Canada holding its overnight rate at 2.25%, borrowing costs have stabilized, which is helping boost buyer confidence. CREB expects market conditions to remain balanced through the rest of the summer, with steady activity and healthy competition for well-priced, move-in-ready homes.

If you’re wondering how these market changes affect your home’s value or your buying power, I’d be happy to have a conversation 😄❤️🏡

Enjoy the rest of your Summer!
