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.

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.

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.

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, Alberta, April 1, 2026 – Supply conditions in March varied significantly depending on property type. Inventory levels saw a typical monthly rise, but compared with long-term trends, inventory remained well above the 10-year average for both row and apartment-style units and well below trend for detached homes. This is not a surprise given the pullback in detached housing starts last year despite record-high apartment-style starts. 

There were 1,881 sales in March, up from the previous month, but still 13 per cent lower than levels reported last year and below long-term trends for March. The decline in sales is mostly due to pullbacks in apartment-style activity, where increased supply choice and slower migration is spreading demand across a wider range of supply. Meanwhile, detached sales have also slowed compared to long-term trends, likely due to limited supply choice in some city districts. 

“When considering total residential housing statistics, conditions appear to be relatively balanced as sales, new listings, inventories and prices all trended up over the previous month as we start to move into the spring market,” said Ann-Marie Lurie, CREB®’s Chief Economist. “However, when we look deeper, we are seeing a market that ranges from tighter conditions for detached homes to the apartment sector, where conditions tend to favour the buyer. As expected, this is supporting upward momentum in detached prices and downward pressure in the apartment condominium sector.” 

The total unadjusted benchmark price in the city was $565,600, up nearly one per cent compared to February but down by more than four per cent compared to last year. After the first quarter, benchmark prices posted modest to stable conditions for lower density homes. However, apartment condominium prices continued to slide, dropping another three per cent in the first quarter compared to the fourth quarter of last year. 

Detached

The detached market is exhibiting the tightest conditions compared to all other property types. With 982 sales and 1,614 new listings in March, the sales-to-new-listings ratio rose to 61 per cent, while inventory levels remained similar to those reported last year. With just over two months of supply, conditions in March closely resembled those seen last year at this time. However, conditions varied across the city, with less than two months of supply reported in the North West, West, South, South East and East districts. Meanwhile, conditions were relatively balanced in both the City Centre and North districts, while the North East district continues to struggle with higher supply relative to demand. The detached benchmark price was $741,300 in March, down by three per cent over last year’s peak price of $766,600. However, tight conditions in most parts of the city are driving some price gains. After the first quarter, the largest quarterly gain was reported in the West district, followed by the City Centre and South districts.

As of March 2026, the Calgary real estate market is shifting from a long-standing seller's market toward more balanced conditions, with rising inventory and slower demand reducing competition, particularly for lower-priced homes. While detached homes remain in a stronger position, price deceleration is occurring, especially in the apartment and townhouse sectors, resulting in a more favorable environment for buyers with more options and less pressure.

• Market Status: The market is transitioning toward a more balanced, buyer-friendly environment.

• Pricing Trends (Early 2026): Benchmark home prices have seen a slight year-over-year decline in some segments, such as a 4.7% decrease in some reports, with an average price around $626,038.

• Inventory: New listings have increased, providing more options and alleviating some of the intense pressure seen in previous years.

• Property Types: Detached homes are holding value better, while apartments and row-style homes are experiencing sharper price corrections.

• Forecast: Continued price moderation is expected as inventory grows, offering a more balanced market compared to the 2021-2025 period.

Key Market Trends (February 2026)

• Inventory & Sales: Inventory has increased significantly, providing more options for buyers and reducing the intense competition from previous years.

• Pricing: While detached home prices have remained relatively stable or seen minor increases, the overall benchmark price has seen some declines, particularly for apartments and row homes.

• Market Conditions: The market is shifting from a strong seller’s market to a more balanced, or "balanced-to-seller," environment, allowing for more negotiations.

• Regional Variation: The Northeast and East zones have experienced the largest price declines, partly due to new supply, while other areas have seen more stability.

Advice for Buyers and Sellers

• Buyers: With higher inventory levels and less pressure, buyers have better opportunities to find homes and negotiate, though affordability remains a challenge due to high interest rates.

• Sellers: While sellers can still achieve good prices for well-priced, desirable homes, they may need to adjust expectations and be more competitive in pricing compared to the peak market

Calgary, Alberta, Jan. 2, 2026 – Following several years of strong price growth, 2025 marked a year of transition thanks to strong demand and limited supply. Due to record high starts, supply levels improved across all aspects of the housing market, just as demand pressure eased due to a reduction in migration levels and heightened uncertainty that persisted throughout the spring market. This helped shift the resale market from one that favoured the seller to one that was more balanced. 

In 2025, sales reached 22,751 units, down 16 per cent over last year, but in-line with long-term trends. Much of the shift came from the growth in supply. 2025 saw over 40,000 new listings come onto the market, nine per cent higher than last year, causing inventories to rise and driving more balanced conditions. 

“Supply levels were expected to rise in 2025. However, the growth was higher than expected especially for apartment condominium and row homes. This weighed on prices in those sectors enough to offset the annual gains reported for both detached and semi-detached homes,” said Ann-Marie Lurie, CREB®’s Chief Economist. "Adjustments in both supply and demand varied across the city, with pockets of the market continuing to experience seller’s market conditions versus some areas where the conditions favoured the buyer. This resulted in different price trends based on location, price range and property type.” 

Overall, the annual average total residential benchmark price in 2025 was $577,492, two per cent lower than last year’s annual average. However, annual detached and semi-detached prices rose by a respective one and three per cent, while apartment and row homes saw prices fall by a respective three and two per cent. 

Compared to other districts, the North East reported the largest decline in prices this year. While some of this is related to improved supply across all areas of the city, it is also important to note that the North East district also reported the strongest price growth over the past two years. 

For the first time in three years, we are heading into the New Year with better inventory levels. Details on what is expected to happen in the market in 2026 will be released at CREB®’s annual Forecast Conference on Jan. 20, 2026. 

Detached

Detached sales totaled 11,328 in 2025, down by nearly nine per cent compared to last year. Sales eased across all districts in the city, with the steepest declines occurring in the North East, East and City Centre district. However, unlike the City Centre, the North East and East districts also experienced significant gains in inventory compared to long-term trends, driving annual price declines of two per cent. Meanwhile, in the City Centre detached inventory remained well below long-term averages, which likely prevented stronger sales and contributed to the annual price growth of over three per cent. Despite the differing conditions in different areas of the city, slowing sales and rising supply citywide helped move the market into balanced conditions by the second half of the year. The annual average benchmark price was $752,767, one per cent higher than last year’s annual level.  

Semi-Detached

Semi-detached homes represent the smallest segment of the market, accounting for less than 10 per cent of all sales activity. Sales in 2025 were 2,159, eight per cent lower than last year, but slightly higher than long-term trends. Trends for semi-detached homes have been relatively consistent with the detached market. However, it took longer for this segment of the market to shift to more balanced conditions, resulting in stronger annual price gains. In 2025, the average annual benchmark price was $685,850, nearly three per cent higher than last year. Prices did ease in the North district as competition for new homes weighed on resale activity, but the decline in this district was more than offset by the four per cent gain in the City Centre. 

Row

2025 sales eased by 17 per cent to 3,838 units. Despite the decline, sales were still higher than long-term trends, as row homes are starting to account for a larger share of the overall activity in the city. At the same time, new listings also rose relative to sales, driving inventory gains and taking the pressure off prices. Conditions shifted to more balanced levels relatively early in the year, and by the last quarter conditions ranged from a balanced to a buyer’s market depending on the districts of the city. Overall, this contributed to the annual average benchmark price decline of two per cent. While prices were relatively stable in the City Centre, North West, West  and East districts, additional supply in the resale market and competition from new homes caused prices to decline by four per cent in the North East and North districts.

Apartment Condominium

Apartment-style homes reported the largest adjustment in price in 2025. Sales declined by 28 per cent compared to the near record high levels achieved last year. While the decline was significant, sales were still over 28 per cent higher than long-term trends. The main cause of the shift in conditions was due to the supply. Over the past three years, there has been a rise in apartment-style starts. While most of the apartment starts were purpose-built rental, they are adding to the supply choice and weighing on the resale market. Resale condominiums saw the market shift in favour of buyers by the second half of the year, with elevated months of supply being reported in most districts of the city. This resulted in relatively persistent downward pressure on prices, causing the annual average benchmark price to decline by nearly three per cent. Price declines were the steepest in the North East nearing five per cent. The only area to report relative stability in the annual price was in the West district.

REGIONAL MARKET FACTS

Airdrie

Increased competition from the new home market, along with more supply options in competing resale markets, has contributed to the added supply in the resale market in Airdrie. Following four consecutive years of exceptionally low inventory levels, 2025 saw inventory rise to levels not seen since prior to the pandemic. While sales activity did remain in line with long-term trends despite an annual decline, the push up in inventories caused the months of supply to generally rise throughout the year. Overall, the annual average benchmark price eased by two per cent this year. 

Cochrane

Sales in Cochrane were similar to last year and above long-term trends. While demand stayed relatively strong in the town, steady gains in supply did cause conditions to shift to a more balanced state by the end of 2025. With the shift occurring later in the year, we did not see the same downward pressure on prices. In fact, on an annual basis the benchmark price in Cochrane was $578,325, nearly three per cent higher than last year. Cochrane also tends to see a larger share of newer properties being listed and sold on the resale market, impacting the prices in the resale market. 

Okotoks

Okotoks continued to struggle with supply growth. Inventories did rise by over 40 per cent, but levels were exceptionally low last year. Even with the gain in 2025, levels were still 30 per cent below long-term trends. Sales activity in the town remained consistent with the levels reported last year and were higher than long-term trends. The persistently low inventory levels generally kept market conditions relatively tight. However, total residential prices posted only a modest gain over last year, this is likely due to compositional shifts as price growth ranged from over one per cent for detached homes to nearly eight per cent for apartment condominium product.
