Sell Your Home in Claresholm

Claresholm sits on Highway 2, between Lethbridge and Calgary. That location gives sellers buyers from two directions. It's also a town where many people retire, and the Claresholm General Hospital is right in town. If you're planning a move, 2% Realty can list your Claresholm home on the MLS® System with full service from local REALTORS®, for a 2% total commission.*

Who's buying and selling in Claresholm

Claresholm had one of the oldest populations among the towns we serve in the 2021 Census, with a median age of 56.8. That shapes the market. Many sellers are downsizing, and many buyers are retirees looking for a smaller town with health care close by.

The housing reflects it. About 73% of occupied homes were single-detached houses, about 11% semi-detached or row homes and about 12% apartments, more variety than most small towns. About 77% of households owned their home, and about 61% of homes were built before 1981.

Tips for Claresholm sellers:

• Show the easy-living features. Main-floor laundry, a main-floor bedroom, few stairs and a manageable yard all appeal to downsizers.
• Highway 2 buyers compare prices. Some buyers come from the Calgary area looking for value. Make sure your listing shows what sets your home apart.
• Estate sales need extra care. If you're selling on behalf of a family member, we can work with the executor and the lawyer to keep things simple.
