Calgary real estate, by the numbers

Thinking about selling? Start with what homes like yours are doing.

#1 TREC Top Producer of 2025, by total sales value

I’m Chris Birchard, a Calgary REALTOR®. My first career was 25 years in the oil patch as a petroleum geologist: identifying the risk in big decisions, making the call, and working with partners to get them done. Buying or selling a home asks for the same skills.

One city, four different markets.

City-wide figures hide more than they show. Detached homes, semis, townhouses, and apartments trade at different prices, sell at different speeds, and rise and fall by different amounts. Whatever you’re planning, the number that matters is the one for your home and your community, not the city’s. That’s the level I work at.

Start with your question.

“The oil patch taught me to prepare before anyone spends a dollar, to sweat the details, to let the analysis make the case, and to say plainly what it shows, good news or not. That’s what you can expect from me, whether you’re buying or selling.”
