Calgary Splits Into a Two-Speed Market by Property Type

According to the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB), citywide sales in June 2026 reached 2,197 units, about 4% below last June and just under the long-term average, largely due to a pullback in apartment condos, while the unadjusted benchmark price rose to $572,500.

  • The overall benchmark price climbed month over month to $572,500 but sits about 2% below last June, with detached homes down just 1% to $750,500 and condos down 9% to $299,000.
  • Citywide, months of supply sit at just over 3 months, but conditions vary sharply by type, from roughly 2.45 months for detached homes to about 5 months for condos.
  • The citywide sales-to-new-listings ratio rose to 56%, with detached and semi-detached homes both clearing 60%, well above the condo segment’s softer pace.

CREB Chief Economist Ann-Marie Lurie points to easing migration weighing on higher-density demand, just as rising inventory across rental, resale, and preconstruction markets is concentrated in condos, producing genuine buyer’s market conditions there, while limited detached supply still supports record prices in some districts. RBC’s Robert Hogue notes Calgary’s HPI rose in July for the second time in three months, even as its condo benchmark remains down 9% year over year, while Rentals.ca reported the city’s steepest annual rent decline among the six largest markets at 5.6%.
