    Data from the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB) indicates that the average price of resale residential homes sold across Calgary in July 2025 was $577,900, and it decreased of 1.8% compared to a year ago.

    CREB also reported a sales-to-new-listings ratio (SNLR) of 54%, indicating a Balanced in Calgary for July 2025.


    Calgary Inventory Surges 66% and Home Sales Decline 12%

    According to the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB) for July 2025, inventory jumped to 6,917 units. This month’s inventory represents the highest level since before the pandemic and is well above long-term averages, with most of the increase coming from newer communities. The influx of supply has put downward pressure on prices in some parts and segments of the city, particularly for apartments and row homes in the North East and North districts, where much of it is concentrated. The total residential benchmark price fell to $582,900, roughly 4% below the June 2024 peak.

    • Sales slowdown: 2,099 sales in July, down 12% year-over-year.
    • More listings: New listings up 9% to 3,911 units.
    • Inventory surge: Supply up 66% from last year, pushing months of supply to 3.3 citywide.

    In July, Calgary’s detached homes posted a benchmark price of $761,800, down 1% year-over-year, while semi-detached homes edged up 1% to $697,500. Row homes dropped 4% to $446,200, and apartments saw the steepest decline at 5%, bringing the benchmark to $329,600. Price trends varied by district, with the City Centre holding steady or posting gains across most property types, while the North East recorded the sharpest drops. In terms of market balance, apartments currently have the highest supply at over 4 months, compared to a more balanced 3 months of supply for both detached and semi-detached homes.

    Supply Shift Brings First Balanced Market in Years for Detached Homes

    Detached homes shifted to 3 months of inventory for the first time since 2020, easing price pressure overall but with wide variations by district. Semi-detached homes maintained stable pricing, with modest gains in central areas. Row homes recorded a 3-month price slide, led by drops in the North East and North districts. The apartment sector saw the sharpest decline, pressured by elevated resale inventory, competition from new builds, and higher rental vacancy rates.

    Why Conditions Could Stay Softer Through Fall

    Calgary’s market is moving toward balanced conditions as rising supply meets slower sales. While core and high-demand districts continue to show resilience, outer districts with high new-home construction are experiencing more pronounced price softness. If supply growth outpaces sales into the fall, price adjustments in the most affected areas could persist.

    How This Market Shift Impacts Buyers, Sellers, and Mortgages in Calgary

    Higher inventory and moderated prices in Calgary improve affordability for buyers, particularly in the apartment and row segments. Homebuyers can expect more choice and stronger negotiating positions. Renewers are likely to see stable valuations in most districts. Homeowners looking to refinance may find more opportunities to tap into their home equity, though lenders could apply stricter appraisals in oversupplied areas. For the Bank of Canada, Calgary’s cooling price environment supports the view that higher rates are working, which could influence the pace of future policy changes.
