I would compare detached and semi-detached values first, then build the move around your budget.
If you need more room and want to know what kind of move is realistic, I would start with the recent price gap. In Airdrie, AB, detached homes were typically valued at $605,400 last month, while semi-detached homes came in at $478,800.
That difference is big enough to shape strategy. A move into a detached home may deliver the extra space you want, but the price jump from semi-detached to detached is meaningful. Across Airdrie, AB, 448 homes were available over the previous 30 days, 135 sold, and a typical sale took 41 days. My advice here is to treat budget and space as one decision, not two separate ones. If the detached category fits comfortably, the recent benchmark gives you a realistic anchor. If it pushes too far, semi-detached may offer a better balance between added room and controlled monthly cost. Either way, the market pace says you should be prepared before the right property shows up. Set your maximum number before you start looking at bigger homes. Decide which compromises you can live with and which ones you cannot. Prepare your current home's launch plan early if it needs to sell first. A bigger home only helps if the move stays sustainable.
