Cochrane Real Estate Stats: 2025 in Review

As we look back at 2025, it’s clear that the Cochrane real estate landscape has shifted. I’m sharing the average market stats for each neighbourhood to give you a big-picture view of how the market performed across the area.

One important thing to keep in mind, especially in newer communities, is how much new development influences these numbers. Many homes are listed well before construction is complete, which can stretch days on market and impact pricing averages, even though the home itself may not be available for months. On top of that, not all new construction is listed on MLS — many builders sell directly — so what you’re seeing here is only part of the full inventory. In growing neighbourhoods, new builds are often the main competition, even when they’re not always visible in the stats.

Another key theme throughout 2025 has been the shift toward a more balanced market compared to the last few years. We’ve moved away from the extreme seller-driven conditions we saw previously and into a market where pricing, presentation, and strategy matter more. Buyers have more choice, sellers need to be more intentional, and days on market have naturally adjusted as things normalize.

Here is a deep dive into how each neighbourhood performed in 2025.

Bow Meadows

Bow Meadows saw steady activity with 14 homes sold. The average sold price sat at $714,536, with homes selling relatively quickly at an average of 30 days on market. Sellers achieved 98.81% of their list price, indicating strong buyer interest in this established area.

Bow Ridge

This community recorded 22 sales with an average price of $677,509. Homes here sold for an average of $416 per square foot and stayed on the market for about 35 days. The sale-to-list price ratio was 98.24%, showing consistent value retention.

Cochrane Heights / Sunterra

With 9 sales, this area commanded a higher price point, averaging $752,853. The days on market were slightly higher here at 47 days, likely reflecting the higher price bracket. However, the price per square foot remained strong at $478.14.

Downtown

Downtown Cochrane remains the affordability hub, with 27 sales averaging $314,700. This area had a slightly longer sales cycle of 52 days on market, but sellers still secured 97.93% of their asking price. It continues to be a key entry point for first-time buyers and investors.

East End

The East End saw 22 sales with an average price of $429,473. This older, charming district had homes selling in roughly 43 days. The sale-to-list ratio of 97.94% suggests that while buyers have room to negotiate, sellers are still getting close to their targets.

Fireside

Fireside was a hive of activity with 97 sales. The average sold price was $576,556, making it a popular choice for families. Despite the volume, homes moved reasonably well with an average of 44 days on market. Sellers received 98.51% of list price, showing that demand matches the high supply here.

Glenbow

Glenbow recorded 41 sales with an accessible average price of $452,866. Homes here sold in 39 days, and the price per square foot was notably solid at $440.23. It remains a competitive area for buyers looking for value in a central location.

GlenEagles

This luxury golf community had a strong year with 46 sales averaging $885,970. Impressively, despite the higher price tag, homes sold quickly—averaging just 29 days on market. The sale-to-list ratio was high at 98.71%, proving that luxury buyers moved fast for the right properties in 2025.

Greystone

Greystone is a prime example of the new construction influence mentioned earlier. With 33 sales, the average price was $599,997. The 64 days on market is higher than average, likely due to construction timelines. However, the sale-to-list ratio was exceptional at 99.52%, meaning buyers are paying asking price for these new builds.

Heartland

Heartland was one of the busiest neighbourhoods in 2025 with 137 sales. The average price was competitive at $568,357. Homes spent an average of 47 days on market, and the sale-to-list ratio held steady at 98.53%, reflecting the continued growth and popularity of the west side.

Heritage Hills

This area saw 46 sales with an average price of $626,502. The average days on market was 51, slightly longer than the town average. However, the sale-to-list ratio of 98.53% mirrors Heartland, showing consistent buyer confidence despite a slightly longer sales cycle.

Jumping Pound Ridge

With 22 sales, the average price here was $553,712. This community performed efficiently, with homes selling in 37 days on average. The price per square foot was healthy at $438.11, and sellers received 98.06% of their list price.

Precedence

Precedence recorded 22 sales with a higher average price point of $690,741. The 56 days on market reflects the new build / luxury mix, yet the sale-to-list ratio was strong at 98.85%, indicating that buyers see the value in these modern homes.

River Heights

River Heights saw 20 sales averaging $547,860. Homes moved relatively quickly in 35 days. The affordability here is attractive, with a price per square foot of $358.96, and sellers achieved 98.48% of their asking price.

Rivercrest

Rivercrest had 43 sales with a significant average price of $758,751. The 62 days on market is on the higher side, again likely influenced by new home construction timelines. The sale-to-list ratio was 98.20%.

Riversong

Riversong remains a staple community with 48 sales and an average price of $641,032. It boasted one of the highest sale-to-list ratios at 99.07%, with homes selling in a brisk 37 days.

Riverview

Riverview saw 14 sales averaging $654,839. Interestingly, this area had the lowest sale-to-list ratio at 97.18%, suggesting buyers had slightly more negotiating power here compared to other neighbourhoods. Homes sold in roughly 36 days.

Riviera

Riviera commanded the highest average price in town at $903,569 across 13 sales. These luxury riverfront properties took about 55 days to sell, but retained value well with a 98.59% sale-to-list ratio.

Southbow Landing

A newer entrant, Southbow Landing had 19 sales averaging $601,741. The 64 days on market ties with Greystone for the longest timeframe, typical for developing areas. The sale-to-list ratio was 96.86%, the lowest on the list, perhaps indicating aggressive initial pricing or builder incentives.

Sunset Ridge

Sunset Ridge was the volume leader for Cochrane in 2025 with 171 sales. The average price was $592,050, and homes moved in 40 days. With a 98.39% sale-to-list ratio, this massive community continues to be the engine of Cochrane’s housing market.

The Willows

The Willows recorded 35 sales with an average price of $592,080, almost identical to Sunset Ridge. It performed strongly with a 98.94% sale-to-list ratio and a 41-day average market time.

West Pointe

Small but mighty, West Pointe had only 4 sales, but they moved incredibly fast—averaging just 11 days on market. The average price was $734,725, and sellers got 99.58% of their list price, the highest ratio in town. Lack of inventory here drove quick decisions.

West Terrace

West Terrace saw 14 sales averaging $760,821. This area commanded the highest price per square foot in Cochrane at $512.79. Homes sold very quickly, in just 22 days, showing high demand for this specific location and school catchment.

West Valley

West Valley recorded 16 sales with an average price of $589,556. Homes sold in roughly 42 days, with a sale-to-list ratio of 98.47%, offering a consistent, stable performance typical of this mature neighbourhood.

Overall Market Trends

When we step back and look at the aggregate data, a few clear trends emerge from 2025:

• Stabilization: The frantic pace of previous years has settled. While some areas like West Pointe and West Terrace moved lightning-fast (11 and 22 days respectively), the town average hovered closer to the 40-45 day mark.
• Negotiation Power: While most neighbourhoods saw homes selling for 98-99% of list price, areas like Southbow Landing and Riverview showed that there is room for negotiation, particularly in specific segments.
• New Build Influence: Neighbourhoods like Greystone, Southbow Landing, and Rivercrest showed longer Days on Market (60+ days), skewing the data due to construction timelines rather than a lack of interest.

Future Outlook

Overall, these numbers help tell the story of a market that’s stabilizing. While some neighbourhoods still move quickly and others take more time, we’re seeing healthier conditions across the board — fewer rushed decisions, more thoughtful negotiations, and more realistic expectations on both sides.

Looking ahead to 2026, expect much of the same: a steady, balanced market where well-priced, well-presented homes still sell, and competition — especially from new construction — continues to play a major role. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just keeping an eye on the market, understanding the context behind the stats is key.
