Calgary’s Housing Market is Heating Up: Here’s Where Homes Are Selling Fastest

If you’ve been keeping an eye on Calgary’s real estate market — whether as a buyer, seller, or investor — you might have noticed some encouraging trends emerging. With rent prices starting to cool off 📉 and the spring market in full swing, the housing market is becoming even more attractive for those looking to make a move.

Even more exciting? Some Calgary neighbourhoods are flying off the market, with properties selling in record time! 🏡 According to the digital real estate platform Wahi, several communities saw homes sell with an average time on market of less than two weeks in March. For perspective, that’s an incredibly fast pace, especially compared to historical averages.

Fastest-Selling Neighbourhoods in Calgary

In March, these 11 Calgary communities stood out as the fastest-selling, each seeing an average days on the market of under 14 days — and in some cases, much quicker:

• Cougar Ridge – 12 days
• Parkland – 12 days
• Glamorgan – 12 days
• Beddington Heights – 12 days
• Garrison Woods – 12 days
• Crestmont – 11 days
• Maple Ridge – 11 days
• Woodbine – 11 days
• Woodlands – 11 days
• Dalhousie – 10 days
• Hamptons – 6 days! 😲

This is impressive activity and clearly signals high demand across a wide range of Calgary neighbourhoods.

It’s also interesting to note the pricing spread:
🏡 Crestmont topped the list with a median sold price of $940,500, showcasing strong interest in higher-end homes.
🏡 Dalhousie, on the other hand, was the most affordable of the fast-moving communities, with a median sold price of $583,300.

This variety demonstrates that buyers are active across different price points — from move-up homes and luxury properties to more entry-level and family-friendly options.

What This Means If You’re Buying or Selling

If you’re buying in Calgary right now, especially in these high-demand areas, it’s important to be prepared and proactive. ⏳ Homes are not sitting long, so being pre-approved for a mortgage, having a clear idea of what you’re looking for, and working with a REALTOR® who knows how to navigate a fast-paced market is key to getting your ideal home.

If you’re selling, it’s great news — but strategy still matters. ✨
Even in a hot market, proper pricing, presentation, and marketing can help you maximize your sale price and attract serious buyers quickly. Plus, not every neighbourhood or price point is moving at the same speed, so local experience is critical when it comes to setting expectations and planning a smart selling strategy.
