Calgary’s market today sits in a balanced-but-slowing phase, with fresh data showing higher inventory, longer days on market, and pricing that depends heavily on property type and quadrant.

• Sellers: Need strong pricing discipline and polished presentation; buyers have options.

• Buyers: More negotiating room than earlier in the year, especially in condos and NE/Downtown.

• Detached NW/SW: Still the most competitive pockets.

• Condos: Oversupply continues to drag values—great for investors, tougher for sellers.

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)

• Sales (last 30 days): 1,617

• Months of inventory: 4.2 → balanced market (neither strong seller nor buyer advantage)

This aligns with August’s broader trend: balanced conditions, slower sales, and modest price movement.

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.
