Housing Market Predictions for 2025

Market overview

  • Strong Demand Continues – More people and jobs, lower mortgage rates, and better housing options will keep demand high.

  • Challenges Ahead – Fewer newcomers, more new homes, and economic uncertainty may slow resale home sales.

  • Sales Still Strong – Over 26,000 homes are expected to sell, which is 20% higher than long-term averages.

  • Market Shifts Coming:

    • Condo sales may slow as rent prices drop and fewer people move to Calgary.

    • Detached homes could see more buyers due to lower interest rates and better supply.

  • More Homes Available – A record number of new homes will be built, leading to more resale listings.

  • Prices Growing Slowly – With more homes on the market, price increases should slow to around 3% for the year.

Calgary’s Housing Supply & New Construction in 2025

  • More Homes, Less Pressure – By November 2024, 22,563 new homes were completed, including 9,340 rental units, helping to ease resale prices and rent costs.

  • Record-Breaking Construction – Over 22,652 new homes started in 2024, surpassing 2023’s total of 19,579.

  • Apartments Lead the Boom – Nearly half of new builds were apartments, including 5,000 rental units.

What This Means for 2025

  • More Housing Choices – As these homes are completed, buyers and renters will have more options, reducing competition.

  • New Construction Will Slow – After a record surge in 2024, new builds will ease as supply catches up with demand.

  • Lower Interest Rates Keep Demand Strong – More affordable mortgages will help first-time and move-up buyers enter the market.

  • Resale Market Impact – More new homes = slower price growth in some resale segments.

How Tariffs Could Affect Housing

  • Worst-Case Scenario (Downside Risk):

    • A 25% tariff on all exports could cause a recession, leading to job losses, lower consumer confidence, and reduced housing demand.

    • More homes for sale + fewer buyers = falling prices.

    • Even without a full trade war, economic uncertainty could make people hesitant to buy.

  • Best-Case Scenario (Upside Risk):

    • No major tariffs or exemptions for the energy sector could fuel stronger job growth, migration, and home sales.

    • Consumer confidence would rise, driving up housing demand and prices.
