Calgary’s current real estate market sits in balanced territory, with fresh MLS‑based data showing stable inventory, moderate sales, and price trends that vary sharply by property type.

📊Calgary Market Snapshot (Updated Oct 5, 2026)

• Active listings: 6,442

• Average list price: $663,409

• Sales (last 30 days): 1,560

• Months of inventory: 4.3 MOI → Balanced market

• Average days on market: 51

A balanced market means neither buyers nor sellers have a strong advantage — negotiations tend to be more even, and pricing accuracy matters.

📍 Prices by Quadrant

• NW: $757,728

• NE: $571,915

• SW: $819,216

• SE: $588,573

• Downtown: $594,181

SW and NW continue to lead in pricing strength, while NE and SE remain more affordable.

🧭 What This Means for You

• Pricing needs to be hyper‑local — quadrant and product type matter more than citywide averages.

• Balanced conditions mean accurate pricing and strong marketing are key to avoiding extended DOM.

• Apartment weakness continues across most communities, so sellers need realistic expectations.

• Detached remains the most resilient segment, especially in NW/SW.

September sales totaled 1,650 units, similar to August and nearly four per cent lower than in September 2025. While September sales typically pull back compared with August, stronger detached home sales helped prevent the typical seasonal pullback.

At the same time, new listings also rose from August, causing the sales-to-new-listings ratio to fall to 49 per cent, leaving inventory levels relatively stable compared with August. Stable sales and inventory levels in September prevented any change in the months of supply compared with August, which remained at just under four months. 

While the overall market is showing higher supply levels compared with sales activity, conditions vary significantly by property type. Detached properties remain in balanced territory, and the monthly boost in new listings supported gains in sales in September. Meanwhile, higher supply levels for apartment and row homes are contributing to buyer market conditions, as demand is spread across more alternatives in the rental and new home markets. 

“The variation in market conditions between property types is related to where the supply was added. The construction boom over the past three years was mostly driven by gains in higher-density sectors, significantly increasing the supply of apartment and row-style homes,” said Ann-Marie Lurie, Chief Economist at the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®). “Meanwhile, detached homes did not see the same boost in construction, preventing broad-based supply growth. Thanks to a stronger job market and slower but positive net migration, housing demand has remained strong enough to absorb some of the supply, but not enough to offset the high-density supply added to the market, resulting in a more significant impact on prices for higher-density homes.” 

As the market moves through the fall, it is not unusual to see some unadjusted monthly declines in prices. However, many of these adjustments were seasonal, as seasonally adjusted figures show that prices in September are relatively stable compared with August. The unadjusted residential benchmark price was $566,700, nearly one per cent lower than last year. Most of the price adjustments have occurred in higher-density row and apartment-style units, which have reported year-over-year declines of eight per cent and six per cent in September. Meanwhile, detached prices are one per cent lower than last year, mostly due to declines in the North East, East and North districts.

🐨♪ 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 — 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐨 𝐍𝐨𝐰 ♤🍩

September has arrived and it is the perfect moment for homeowners who are considering a fall sale to get ahead of the game. The fall market in Calgary is traditionally active, with buyers returning from summer vacations and looking to settle before winter. A little preparation now can make a big difference in how confidently and smoothly a home enters that busy season.

🐊★ 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐅𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 🎄☞

Fall gives homeowners a valuable window to get their property market‑ready before winter settles in. Cooler temperatures, crisp daylight, and a natural return to routine make it easier to focus on projects that elevate a home’s presentation. Small improvements—like touch‑up painting, decluttering, exterior clean‑ups, and minor repairs—go a long way in helping a home shine during one of Calgary’s busiest buyer seasons. By tackling these items now, sellers stay ahead of the curve and avoid the rush that arrives once the holiday season approaches.

One of the most effective ways to prepare for a fall listing is to start decluttering early. Removing excess items helps rooms feel larger, brighter, and more inviting. It also makes future staging easier and ensures that professional photography captures the home at its best. Sellers who begin this process now avoid the stress of last‑minute cleanouts and can approach the fall market with confidence.

𝗧𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀

It is an ideal time for addressing small maintenance tasks that boost a home’s appeal. Cleaning gutters, refreshing exterior paint, power‑washing walkways, trimming shrubs, and repairing loose fixtures all contribute to a strong first impression. These are simple jobs that become much more challenging once cooler weather arrives.

𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝘆

By preparing early, sellers have time to consider staging options, review décor choices, and plan for professional photography. Homes photographed in late summer often benefit from beautiful natural light and lush greenery—assets that can make listing photos stand out when buyers begin their fall search.

Ultimately, preparing now means entering the fall market with clarity and momentum. Instead of scrambling to get a home ready, sellers can focus on strategy, pricing, and timing—ensuring their property shines during one of the strongest buyer seasons of the year.

Calgary’s real estate market continues to sit in balanced territory, with rising inventory, steady buyer activity, and pricing that varies by segment. Detached and semi‑detached homes remain the strongest performers, while condos and townhomes show softer pricing and longer days on market. With more listings coming online and buyers taking their time, pricing strategy and presentation matter more than ever.  The freshest available data comes from early‑September MLS® and August 2026 market summaries.

Citywide Snapshot (Early September 2026)

• Active listings: 6,441 (↑ significantly vs. summer)

• Avg. list price: $656,000

• Avg. days on market: 52 (homes taking longer to sell)

It is "Always the Right Call!"

Calgary, Alberta, September 1, 2026 – Consistent with trends throughout most of 2026, both sales activity and the number of new listings coming onto the market have continued to trend down compared with 2025 levels. In August, sales in Calgary were 1,660 units, down 16 per cent compared with last year, while new listings fell by nearly 10 per cent to 3,141 units.

The pullback in sales has not occurred across all price ranges, as homes priced over $1,000,000 have recorded gains over last year. These gains have mostly been driven by detached and semi-detached homes and are also consistent with where most of the supply growth has occurred.

“While sales growth in the upper end of the market was possible thanks to improved supply choice, it also reflects longer-term confidence in our market, as some buyers are not shying away from taking advantage of the available supply,” said Ann-Marie Lurie, Chief Economist at the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®). “Meanwhile, we have not seen the same pickup in activity in the lower price ranges, as favourable rental conditions are slowing the transition to ownership.”

Inventory levels in August eased compared with the previous month and the same period last year, at 6,509 units. However, given the pullback in sales, the months of supply pushed up to nearly four months. Also consistent with trends throughout this year, conditions vary significantly by property type, with nearly six months of supply for apartment-style homes compared with over three months of supply for lower-density detached homes.

The relatively balanced conditions in the detached and semi-detached sector have prevented any significant shifts in prices compared with the steady price declines occurring in the oversupplied higher-density segments of the market. As of August, the total residential benchmark price was $569,800, similar to the previous month and one per cent lower than 2025 levels.
