Common Questions
Is Calgary currently a buyer’s market or a seller’s market?
Calgary is moving toward balanced conditions as of March 2026. Inventory is up 27% and months of supply has risen 62%, giving buyers considerably more leverage than 12 months ago. Prices remain marginally positive year over year overall, but sellers in the detached and apartment segments are facing real downward pressure.
What is the benchmark price in Calgary right now?
The overall benchmark price in Calgary is $566,200 as of March 2026, up 2.23% month over month and 0.37% year over year. Detached homes benchmark at $680,900, apartments at $309,700, and attached homes at $447,200.
Why are Calgary home sales down if new listings are also below average?
Both new listings and sales are below five year averages, but sales have fallen faster. Fewer homes are entering the market, yet buyers are absorbing an even smaller proportion of available supply, which is why total inventory has risen 27% and months of supply has climbed 62%. The result is more choice for buyers and longer days on market for sellers.
Which Calgary property type is under the most pressure right now?
Apartments are facing the sharpest conditions, with sales down 40%, months of supply up 95%, and the benchmark price down 3.08% year over year and 3.34% month over month. Detached homes have also seen annual prices decline 3.61%. Attached homes are the only segment holding benchmark price close to flat year over year, though supply pressure remains significant.
Is now a good time to sell in Calgary?
The answer depends heavily on your property type and price point. Overall prices are still marginally positive year over year, but apartment and detached sellers are seeing real annual declines and buyers have meaningfully more leverage than in 2024 and 2025.
