As of the 2021 Census of Canada, the City of Calgary counted 12,040 people in private households and 5,420 occupied private dwellings. Unlike some of the newer north communities, Varsity is a mixed housing area: 2,465 dwellings (45%) were single-detached houses, 1,495 (28%) were apartments in buildings under five storeys, 655 (12%) were row houses, and 595 (11%) were apartments in taller buildings.

If you are looking at houses for sale in Varsity, compare lot, layout, updates and the home’s location inside the community with other detached sales, not with a nearby condo or townhouse. An original house and a renovated house on the same block can sit in very different price conversations.

A note for Varsity sellers

In Varsity, the age and condition of the house often matter as much as the address. Buyers compare renovation quality, remaining original elements, the lot and how the home lives day to day. A useful asking price is built from recent detached sales and the houses listed now, with those differences spelled out.

Don’s usual combined commission is 2%: 1% for the listing brokerage and 1% for the buyer’s brokerage, before GST. That includes pricing advice, professional photos, MLS® and Realtor.ca exposure, showing support, offer negotiation and guidance through closing. On a sale of $840,000, 2% is $16,800 compared with $29,200 under the common 7%/3% example — a difference of $12,400 before GST. The 7%/3% example is 7% on the first $100,000 and 3% on the balance. Commissions are Negotiable.
