If you’re wondering what's happening in the Airdrie real estate market lately, you’re not alone — and smart to ask. Whether you are thinking of buying, selling, or just keeping a pulse on local trends, understanding what’s really going on can help you make more confident decisions.
Here’s a look at where things stand right now — and what it means for you.
Sales Have Slowed — But That’s Not the Whole Story
Sales have eased across the board, contributing to a 12% year-to-date decline in total transactions.
At first glance, slower sales might sound like bad news... but it's more about market normalization. After several years of intense activity, this kind of pullback is a natural and expected adjustment.
More Listings, More Balance
New listings have outpaced sales recently, pushing the sales-to-new-listings ratio to 57%. That number matters because it helps us understand how competitive the market is — and anything below 60% generally indicates a shift toward a balanced market.
Inventory has risen to 535 units, the highest level reported since before the pandemic and well above long-term trends. This increase gives buyers more choice and more time to make informed decisions.
Prices have softened which is creating opportunity for Buyers
With more supply available in both the resale and new construction markets — along with competition from surrounding areas, we have seen some downward pressure on prices in Airdrie.
The current benchmark price is $531,100, which reflects a moderate decline compared to last year.
This doesn’t mean prices are dropping dramatically, but it does mean sellers need to price strategically and prepare their homes thoughtfully to attract attention.
What this means for Buyers & Sellers
For Buyers:
This is a more favourable environment than we have seen in recent years. With more inventory and slightly more negotiating power, buyers can take more time and make more confident choices.
For Sellers:
Homes are still selling, but the strategy matters. Presentation, pricing, and professional marketing are essential in a more competitive and balanced market.
Final Thoughts
The Airdrie real estate market is shifting — not collapsing. We are moving toward a more balanced environment where both buyers and sellers can succeed with the right approach.
