If you're thinking about selling your home in Calgary, one big question often comes up: Should you renovate before putting it on the market?

The answer? It depends.
Let’s break down the pros, cons, and smart renovations that can actually boost your home’s value without overdoing it.

✅ The Benefits of Renovating Before Selling

1. Higher Sale Price

• Simple updates—like new paint, lighting, or flooring—can drastically improve first impressions.

• Kitchens and bathrooms, in particular, offer some of the highest returns on investment.

2. Faster Sale

• A clean, modern look helps buyers visualize themselves living there.

• Renovated homes often attract more attention (and offers) than outdated ones.

3. Stand Out in the Calgary Market

• In a competitive area, updated homes tend to win. Even minor updates can make you stand out in NW or SW Calgary.

❌ The Downsides of Renovating Before Selling

1. Cost

• Not all renovations pay off. Overspending can eat into your profits.

• Always weigh the cost vs. potential return.

2. Delays

• Even small renos can delay your listing timeline—especially during busy seasons or if contractors are booked.

3. Buyers Might Change It Anyway

• Some buyers prefer a “blank slate” or may want to customize the home themselves.

🛠️ Smart Renovations That Make Sense in Calgary

If you’re going to renovate, focus on cost-effective, high-impact upgrades:

🔍 When NOT to Renovate

Don’t spend money on major remodels if:

• The home is already priced below market as a “fixer-upper”

• Your timeline is tight

• You won’t recoup the cost (ask your REALTOR®)

🏡 Final Thoughts: Every Home—and Market—is Different

Before spending a dime, get a professional home evaluation and talk to a local real estate expert. In some cases, a deep clean and staging may be all you need to maximize your sale.

As a Calgary REALTOR®, I’ll help you:

• Analyze what’s worth updating

• Connect with trusted trades

• Price your home right—with or without renos

👉 Reach out for a no-obligation consultation to see if renovating before selling is the right move for your Calgary property.

When you're selling a home in Calgary, one of the most overlooked—but crucial—documents is the Real Property Report (RPR). Whether you're a first-time seller or a seasoned homeowner, understanding the role of an RPR can save you time, stress, and potential legal issues.

What Is a Real Property Report?

A Real Property Report (RPR) is a legal document prepared by a registered Alberta land surveyor. It shows the property’s boundaries and outlines the location of all permanent structures (like your house, garage, fence, or deck) in relation to the property lines.

Why You Need an RPR When Selling in Calgary

In Calgary, it's typically the seller’s responsibility to provide a current RPR with a Stamp of Compliance from the City of Calgary. This shows that all structures meet municipal bylaws.

Without it, your deal could be delayed or fall apart altogether. Here's why it’s important:

• ✅ Confirms property boundaries for buyers

• ✅ Verifies municipal compliance

• ✅ Avoids legal disputes over encroachments

• ✅ Required by most lawyers to close the sale

What Does a Real Property Report Show?

Your RPR will include:

• Property dimensions and boundaries

• Locations of buildings and structures

• Right-of-way or easements (utility lines, back alleys, etc.)

• Compliance stamp from the City of Calgary (if applied for)

How to Get or Update Your RPR

If you already have an RPR, check:

• Is it current?

• Have you added a new deck, fence, shed, or garage since it was issued?

If yes, you’ll need to update it through a surveyor. If you don’t have one, you’ll need to order a new RPR, which typically takes 1–3 weeks and costs between $500–$800.

The Compliance Stamp

Once you have your RPR, you must submit it to the City of Calgary for review. If everything complies with current bylaws, they’ll issue a Compliance Stamp. If not, you may need to make changes before listing your home.

🔍 Pro Tip: Start the RPR process before listing your home. It avoids delays when you get an offer.

Do All Real Estate Deals in Calgary Require an RPR?

Not always. In some cases—like condo sales—the buyer may accept a Title Insurance policy instead of an RPR. But for detached and semi-detached homes, an up-to-date RPR is almost always required.

Final Thoughts

If you're planning to sell your home in Calgary, don’t wait until the last minute to think about your RPR. As your local real estate expert, I can help guide you through the process and connect you with trusted surveyors to keep your sale on track.

f you're planning to sell your home in Calgary, one of the first questions that likely comes to mind is:

How long does it take to sell a house in Calgary?

As of spring 2025, the average home in Calgary takes approximately 29 days to sell. That’s a slight increase from the 20-day average in spring 2024—reflecting subtle shifts in market conditions and buyer activity across the city.

But this number can vary dramatically depending on several key factors. Let’s break it down.

⏱️ Average Days on Market by Property Type (2025 Data)

• Detached homes: ~25 days

• Semi-detached homes: ~25 days

• Townhouses/Row homes: ~30 days

• Condos/Apartments: ~36 days

These figures represent a city-wide average and may differ based on your neighbourhood and price range.

📍 Factors That Affect How Fast Your Calgary Home Sells

1. Pricing Strategy

Homes priced competitively based on market data tend to sell significantly faster. Overpricing leads to extended days on market and stale listings.

2. Neighbourhood Demand

Popular communities like Tuscany, Rockland Park, or Altadore often sell quicker due to their schools, parks, and amenities.

3. Home Condition

Updated kitchens, clean landscaping, and neutral staging all help buyers visualize themselves in the space—often leading to faster offers.

4. Marketing Exposure

A strong online presence with high-quality photos, video tours, and SEO-optimized listings ensures your home gets seen by more buyers.

5. Time of Year

Spring and early summer typically see faster sales. Winter can still move homes, but often at a slower pace.

🔍 Calgary’s Market: Seller’s or Buyer’s?

In a seller’s market (which Calgary has experienced recently), inventory is tight and homes can sell in under 2 weeks—especially detached homes under $700,000.
In a balanced market, homes take closer to 25–30 days.
In a buyer’s market, prepare for longer timelines and more negotiations.

🚀 Tips to Sell Faster in Calgary

• Stage your home professionally

• Invest in top-tier listing photos and video walkthroughs

• List at the right time of year

• Be flexible with showings

• Hire an experienced local agent who knows your neighbourhood inside out
