Strathmore Realtor: Buying and Selling Homes in Strathmore, Alberta
Updated October 30, 2026 · Written by Justin Warthe, Team Lead, The Top Calgary Real Estate Team
Strathmore is the town 45 minutes east of Calgary on the Trans-Canada Highway where a detached home still costs well under $500,000. Roughly 15,000 people live here, the town has its own hospital, a full main street, the Strathmore Stampede and Kinsmen Lake, and it is the seat of Wheatland County's farm economy. If you are looking for a Strathmore realtor, here is what we know about the market and how we help.
Quick answer: Yes. The Top Calgary Real Estate Team lists and sells homes in Strathmore and represents Strathmore buyers every month. We are a 10-REALTOR® team brokered by Real Broker with 179 five-star Google reviews and more than $1 billion sold across Calgary and area. Call or text 403-620-8746 or book a call for a free Strathmore home evaluation or buyer consultation.
Key takeaways
- Strathmore's benchmark price was $451,900 in September 2026, up nearly 4% year over year, the largest gain of any town in the Calgary region. It is the most affordable market we serve.
- Strathmore buyers are a mix of Calgary commuters priced out of Chestermere and the city, local and county families, and people working in agriculture, the hospital and the service sector.
- The Trans-Canada makes the commute straightforward to east Calgary and the airport corridor, but it is a real drive. We tell buyers the truth about it.
- New communities such as Wildflower Ranch and Lakewood are adding supply; resale sellers in Westmount, Strathaven and Hillview need to price against them.

What is different about buying and selling in Strathmore
Strathmore is where affordability lives in the Calgary region. A benchmark of $451,900 buys a detached home with a garage and a yard, something that is increasingly hard to find in Calgary under $600,000 or in Chestermere under $700,000. That gap is why Strathmore prices rose nearly 4% this year while most of the region softened.
The town has its own economy. Agriculture, the hospital, schools, the county offices and the service sector mean a meaningful share of buyers work locally and are not commuting at all. Sellers should market to both groups: Calgary commuters looking for value and local families moving up.
Strathmore competes with Langdon and Chestermere to the west and with the smaller Wheatland County towns to the east. Langdon offers larger lots on county taxes; Chestermere offers the lake and a shorter commute at a much higher price. We can show you the full set of options.
Selling a home in Strathmore
Strathmore sellers get a team that already has the Calgary and Chestermere buyers who are stretching east for value, prices against the new communities adding supply on the edges of town, and markets your home to local buyers and commuters alike.
- Pricing. We pull the last 90 days of Strathmore sales and the active competition, including new construction, and show you the price that sells in the first two weeks at full value.
- Preparation. A room-by-room checklist, staging advice and the short list of fixes that return more than they cost.
- Launch. Professional photography, video, floor plans, Realtor.ca, social media, and a pre-launch to our Calgary and Strathmore buyer database before the public sees it. Many Strathmore buyers are Calgary movers, and we already have them on our list.
- Showings and feedback. You hear what every buyer said within 24 hours.
- Negotiation and closing. One lead negotiator on every offer, and an operations team that keeps conditions, deposits and possession on schedule.
