Okotoks Real Estate: Why This Market Is Defying the Slowdown

While some Calgary-area markets are catching their breath, Okotoks is running full steam ahead. This town has firm prices, low inventory, and steady buyer demand — and that combination is keeping it one of the hottest spots in the region.

Okotoks Isn’t Playing the Cooling Game

Let’s put things into perspective. Calgary’s sitting at about three months of supply. Airdrie? Just crossed the three-month mark for the first time since 2020. But Okotoks? Still under two months of supply — deep in seller’s market territory.

And here’s the kicker: over the last 60 days, it’s one of the only markets in the Calgary region that hasn’t seen a price dip. The June benchmark price landed at $632,800…

March 2025 Calgary Real Estate Statistics Recap  

Economic uncertainty, influenced by ongoing tariff concerns, weighed heavily on Calgary’s housing market in March. Sales dropped 19% compared to March 2024, with a total of 2,159 transactions across all property types. Higher-density segments such as apartment and row housing saw the most significant slowdowns. 

“This slowdown isn’t surprising given the current economic climate,” said Ann-Marie Lurie, Chief Economist at CREB®. “Even with the pullback, sales levels are still higher than what we experienced between 2015 and 2020, during a time of deeper economic hardship. The upside is that softer demand is being met with growing supply, which is helping…

January 2025 Calgary Real Estate Statistics Recap 

Calgary’s housing market saw a notable increase in supply to start the year, with inventory levels reaching 3,639 units in January.

October 2024 Calgary Real Estate Statistics Recap

CREB® Chief Economist Ann-Marie Lurie noted, "Demand has remained relatively strong moving into the fourth quarter, with sales up from last month.
