Fastest & Slowest Days on Market in Inner-City Calgary (October 2025)
In the fast-paced world of inner-city Calgary real estate, understanding how quickly homes are selling gives buyers and sellers a serious advantage. Days on market (DOM) reveals where demand is strong, where opportunities lie, and how each neighbourhood is performing within Calgary’s urban core.
As a trusted inner-city Calgary realtor, I’ve analyzed the most recent DOM data across all property types to show which communities are heating up — and which are giving buyers more time to negotiate.
🏁 Fastest-Selling Inner-City Communities (October 2025)
These neighbourhoods are seeing listings fly off the market — often within a few weeks — showing strong buyer confidence and tight supply.
Top Performers (Lowest Average DOM):
-
Roxboro – 7 days 🏆
-
Bel-Aire – 14 days
-
Garrison Woods – 18 days
-
Britannia – 19 days
-
Point McKay – 23 days
-
West Hillhurst – 24 days
-
Upper Mount Royal – 24 days
-
Windsor Park – 25 days
-
Scarboro – 27 days
-
Meadowlark Park – 27 days
-
Parkhill – 28 days
-
Ramsay – 29 days
Fast-moving communities like Roxboro, Britannia, and Garrison Woods continue to attract strong interest from move-up buyers and investors seeking Calgary infill homes, character properties, and urban lifestyle in Calgary.
Homes in these areas benefit from proximity to the river pathways, top-rated schools, and amenities like Marda Loop, 4th Street, and downtown — making them some of the best Calgary neighbourhoods for real estate investment and lifestyle appeal.
🕰️ Communities with Longer Days on Market
On the other end of the spectrum, certain neighbourhoods are seeing homes stay on the market longer. While this may suggest slower movement, it often reflects higher price points, luxury inventory, or condo-heavy markets where supply outweighs demand.
Communities with the Highest DOM:
-
Chinatown – 65 days
-
Eau Claire – 61 days
-
St. Andrews – 50 days
-
Cliff Bungalow – 50 days
-
Briar Hill – 48 days
-
East Village – 47 days
-
Downtown Commercial Core – 46 days
-
Beltline – 45 days
-
Highwood – 42 days
-
Shaganappi / Winston Heights / Renfrew – 41 days
Neighbourhoods like Eau Claire, East Village, and the Downtown Commercial Core are known for luxury condos and new developments — properties that naturally take longer to match with the right buyer. However, for investors, longer DOM can signal negotiation opportunities and strong future upside as downtown Calgary continues to revitalize.
💡 What the Data Tells Us
-
Under 30 Days: Highly competitive markets — listings often attract multiple offers.
-
30–45 Days: Balanced markets where accurate pricing and presentation are key.
-
45+ Days: Slower segments offering more leverage to buyers.
Communities with DOM under 30 days (like West Hillhurst and Upper Mount Royal) continue to prove that well-priced, quality listings in Calgary’s most walkable communities are still in high demand.
🏙️ Why Inner-City Calgary Continues to Lead
Despite fluctuations, real estate in Calgary’s core remains resilient. Communities such as Altadore, South Calgary, Richmond, and Bridgeland maintain balanced sales activity with average DOM around 31–34 days — signaling consistent movement and strong buyer engagement.
Homebuyers drawn to inner-city living in Calgary value short commutes, coffee shops, boutique fitness studios, and river pathway access — lifestyle perks that continue to drive demand for Calgary townhouses for sale, Calgary condos near downtown, and modern Calgary infill homes.
Upcoming developments like the Green Line LRT, Beltline revitalization, and the Rivers District expansion are expected to further boost long-term value for Calgary inner-city homes.
💬 What This Means for Buyers, Sellers & Investors
For Sellers:
If you own in fast-moving areas like Roxboro, Garrison Woods, or Britannia — the market is on your side. Leverage momentum with professional marketing and pricing that reflects current demand.
For Buyers:
Communities with longer DOM, such as Eau Claire or Chinatown, can offer excellent entry points. Patience and timing can lead to smart buys in premium locations.
For Investors:
Track areas where DOM is tightening month-over-month (like West Hillhurst or Parkhill). These micro-trends often signal where value appreciation will occur next in Calgary real estate trends.
