5 Open Houses a Weekend: Why I Go All-in for My Calgary Clients

Intro

Real estate in Calgary is competitive. If you’re selling your home, you want an agent who doesn’t just list it—but actively works to get it sold. That’s why I commit to running up to five open houses every weekend across NW Calgary. Here’s why I put in the extra effort, what it means for my sellers, and how buyers benefit too.

Why I Run So Many Opens

For me, open houses aren’t just “showings.” They’re:

  • Lead machines: More exposure = more buyers through the door.

  • Market intel: I see in real time what buyers say about price, layout, and features.

  • Momentum builders: Energy attracts offers—fast.

By stacking multiple opens in one weekend, I maximize reach across different neighborhoods and buyer segments.

Benefits for Sellers

  • More eyeballs on your listing: Every open adds 15–30 groups of buyers who may not have booked a private showing.

  • Real-time feedback: I capture buyer reactions immediately and adjust strategy if needed.

  • Extra promotion: Each open house gets advertised online, on social media, and with signage—meaning your property gets triple the visibility.

  • Faster sales: Homes with active open house marketing often sell quicker and with stronger offers.

Benefits for Buyers

If you’re house-hunting, weekends are your best shot to:

  • Compare 3–5 homes in one afternoon

  • Ask me direct questions about the community, pricing, and resale potential

  • Get unfiltered market insights on the spot

Even if a particular home isn’t “the one,” you leave more educated about the Calgary market.

What My Weekend Looks Like

It’s not unusual for me to:

  • Host an open in Tuscany on Saturday morning, then Royal Oak in the afternoon

  • Run a Rocky Ridge or Arbour Lake open on Sunday, followed by Evanston or Panorama Hills

  • Spend evenings sending follow-ups to every visitor, ensuring no lead goes cold

It’s a grind—but it’s also why my sellers get results and my buyers trust me for real-time market insight.

Why It Matters in 2025

With Calgary inventory still tight in many NW neighborhoods, buyers are moving fast. Open houses create the environment for multiple-offer situations and give buyers a fair chance to experience homes in person. Sellers benefit from this buzz—it’s not just about showing a home, it’s about creating market energy.

Final Word

Running five open houses a weekend takes energy, planning, and commitment—but it’s worth it. If you’re hiring a Calgary realtor, ask: Will they put in this level of work for you?

➡️ Thinking of selling? Let’s put your home in front of hundreds of buyers this month.

How to Price a Home in Calgary Without Leaving Money on the Table (2025 Edition)

Why Pricing is Everything

In Calgary’s 2025 market, pricing your home correctly is the difference between a quick sale at top dollar—or weeks on the market followed by painful price reductions. The right strategy ensures you attract the most buyers, generate competition, and avoid leaving money behind.

Step 1: Use Local Data (Not Just City Averages)

Calgary real estate is hyper-local. Tuscany’s detached homes may be up 4% while another NW neighborhood stays flat. The only reliable comps are:

  • Homes in your community

  • Sold within the last 60–90 days

  • Similar size, age, and condition

Step 2: Factor in Condition & Presentation

  • Upgrades add value: kitchens, baths, flooring

  • Deferred maintenance subtracts value: roof, furnace, windows

  • Staging & photography boost results: staged Calgary homes sell up to 6–8% higher on average

Step 3: Think Like a Buyer

Buyers shop in price brackets ($500–600k, $700–750k, etc.).

A home listed at $749,900 is seen by more buyers than one at $755,000—even though the difference is tiny.

Step 4: Watch Market Momentum

  • Seller’s market (under 2 months inventory): Room to push higher.

  • Balanced market (3–4 months): Stay tight to comps.

  • Buyer’s market (5+ months): Strategic pricing + incentives are key.

Step 5: Timing Matters

In Calgary, spring (March–May) and early fall (Sept–Oct) are peak selling seasons. Listing during these times often means more showings, faster offers, and higher final prices.

Real Example (2025)

A Tuscany detached was listed at $729,900—slightly under market. It drew 7 offers in 5 days and sold for $755,000. Listing “just under” created urgency and competition, netting more than a “test-the-market” overpricing would have.

The Big Mistake: Overpricing

  • After 21+ days, a listing feels stale

  • Price reductions signal weakness to buyers

  • Final sales often come in below what a strategic initial price could have achieved

Final Word

Pricing isn’t about guessing—it’s about strategy, psychology, and timing.

And for commuters, Tuscany offers easy access to downtown via Crowchild Trail and the C-Train line, while weekend adventurers can reach the mountains in under an hour.

Real Estate Trends in 2025

  • Detached homes dominate, especially 3–4 bedroom family properties with front-attached garages.

  • Townhomes & condos near the LRT attract first-time buyers and downsizers.

  • Price growth: Steady 3–5% YoY, keeping Tuscany values strong.

  • Hot buyer pool: Young families prioritizing schools, transit, and lifestyle amenities.

    Schools in Tuscany

  • Tuscany Elementary (K–4)

Calgary Real Estate Market Update (September 2025): Balance Returns—with Caveats

Market Snapshot: July 2025 Data

  • Benchmark Price: $582,900 — down 3.9% year-over-year with slight monthly declines.

  • Average Sales Price: $616,700 — up 1.7% year-over-year, but down 4.6% from June.

  • Median Price: $569,500 — up 1.2% year-over-year, down 4.3% month-over-month.

  • Sales Volume: 2,099 homes sold — a 12% drop compared to last year.

  • New Listings: 3,911 homes — up nearly 9% year-over-year.

  • Active Inventory: 6,917 homes — up 66% year-over-year.

  • Months of Supply: 3.3 months, placing Calgary firmly in balanced market territory.

  • Days on Market: 37 days on average, up from 24 days earlier in the year.

What’s Driving the Shift in Calgary’s Housing Market?

1. Supply Surge Bringing Balance

New construction projects, particularly condos and townhomes, are adding significant inventory. Combined with more resale listings hitting the market, buyers now have more choice than at any point in the past two years.

2. Price Trends by Property Type

  • Detached Homes: Showing resilience, with only modest declines and in some cases slight year-over-year gains.

  • Condos and Row/Townhouses: Experiencing steeper price drops, especially in the North and Northeast quadrants.

3. Forecasts Adjusted Downward

Earlier in 2025, Calgary was on pace for around 26,000 sales. With economic uncertainty, that projection has been revised to closer to 23,000. While lower than expected, this level is still above Calgary’s long-term sales average.

4. The Bigger Picture

Despite short-term cooling, experts anticipate Calgary real estate will stabilize with moderate annual price growth of around 3% in the coming years. The city remains attractive thanks to affordability compared to other Canadian metros, continued population growth, and a resilient job market.

What Sellers Need to Know

  • Homes are taking longer to sell, averaging just over five weeks.

  • Pricing competitively from the start is critical in a balanced market.

  • Staging, marketing, and strong digital exposure make a difference when buyers have more choice.

What Buyers Can Expect

  • More options across nearly every property type.

  • Greater negotiating power, particularly in the condo and townhouse segments.

  • Detached homes in popular communities remain competitive, but with less of the bidding-war frenzy seen in recent years.

Looking Ahead to 2025–2026

As inventory levels climb and demand normalizes, Calgary is transitioning from a hot seller’s market into a more balanced environment. Buyers should expect opportunities this fall and winter, while sellers should prepare for a longer process and focus on presenting their homes strategically.

Longer-term, Calgary’s affordability and growth potential position it as one of the most stable and promising housing markets in Canada.
