Feeling the Urban Heat? Understanding and Tackling the Urban Heat Island Effect with Heat Maps

Real Estate Statistics May 2025

May 2025 Calgary Real Estate Statistics Recap  

In May, Calgary’s housing market saw a 17% decline in year-over-year sales, largely due to a significant slowdown in the apartment condo segment. Despite the dip, the city still recorded 2,568 sales—an 11% increase over long-term averages and a step up from April.

New listings outpaced sales again this month, helping to push inventory levels even higher. However, because both sales and inventory rose together, the months of supply held steady at 2.6—maintaining a relatively balanced market.

The Ultimate Guide for Your Final Walkthrough

Worried that the house you bought will look different when you finally move in? A pre-possession inspection, commonly called a “final walkthrough”, lets buyers verify the condition of their property before the transaction is complete. At a walkthrough, buyers have the opportunity to assess the property’s current state and ensure the agreed-upon repairs and/or conditions made in the purchase agreement are met.  

The final walkthrough typically occurs days from the closing date, before the home buying transaction is settled, and it is one of the last steps to closing on a house. 

While doing a final walkthrough is optional, we highly recommend it to help identify any issues before you close on the house. Note that a final walkthrough is not a home…
