Airdrie House & Home

Summer is a season of relaxation when school is not in session, vacation season is in full swing and people everywhere are getting outside and soaking up the summer sun. It’s hard to imagine how that can get any better.

A seller’s market continued in all sectors of the Airdrie housing market (similar to last year this time) in the latest quarter, with 1.22 months inventory for year-to-date (YTD), as compared to Calgary at 1.03, Cochrane 1.33, Crossfield at 1.88, Chestermere at 1.88, Carstairs at 1.73, Okotoks at .93, and Strathmore at 1.22 months of inventory.

The real estate market in Airdrie is very competitive right now. If you have been looking for a home over the course of the last few months, you are likely already aware of this fact, and perhaps feeling a little discouraged. Inventory remains extremely low and for this reason, prices are continuing to rise. 

As part of the 2023 Calgary Eco-Solar Home Tours, a collection of energy-efficient household owners in Airdrie, Balzac, and Bragg Creek will be welcoming the public through their doors this weekend for a day of free tours and information sessions. 

A community is more than the place you live. It is a sense of belonging and a bond, knowing that you matter to those around you and they matter to you.

Some people are wondering where the opportunity lies in this market. The answer seems to be for those that are living in entry-level properties, to carry low fixed-term interest rates that can port their mortgage and move up into a more expensive home. 

There's been a drop in total sales in all markets in Airdrie during this first quarter of 2023.
