Showings are down. Sales are up. New listings are down.
Confusing? Not when you zoom out. 👇

Here’s what happened in Alberta’s housing market this week:
📉 Showings fell 7% 📈 Sales increased 6% 📉 New listings dropped 11%

After two weeks of gains, showing activity returned to roughly where August began. Most price ranges saw modest declines, while homes between $700K and $900K actually recorded increases.

The sharpest drop came in the $1.2M–$1.3M range—but smaller sample sizes can make weekly changes look more dramatic than they really are. That same range posted a significant gain the week before.
The more encouraging signal? Sales improved for the second consecutive week, while the pace of new inventory continued to slow.

That combination matters.

If demand were falling while supply kept accelerating, there would be more reason for concern. Instead, transactions are moving and inventory growth is moderating.

This isn’t a market surge—or a market collapse. It’s a market finding its balance.

Alberta remains comparatively tighter than the country overall, with approximately 3.5 months of inventory in July versus 4.7 months nationally. There’s more choice than buyers had at the peak and less pressure on prices, but conditions remain relatively healthy.

Tariffs add another layer of uncertainty. However, ATB estimates the economic impact on Alberta will be considerably smaller than the impact nationally, largely because energy products are exempt.

The takeaway?

Alberta’s market is cooling from the extremes—not falling apart. As Labour Day approaches, some seasonal softness is normal, and history suggests buyer activity could begin picking up again once September gets underway.

Sometimes the strongest market signal isn’t the spike.

It’s what happens next.

Last week, showings jumped 8%. This week, instead of giving those gains back, buyer activity increased another 2%.

Sales also rose 6%, while new listings fell 12% following last week’s surge.

No dramatic swings. No single price range carrying the market. Just the normal rotation of gains and declines we’d expect under balanced conditions.

The $1.4M–$1.5M range posted a larger percentage increase, but higher price points have fewer listings and showings—so those swings should always be viewed with some caution.

The bigger story is the overall trend.

Across Alberta, showing activity continues to move closer to 2024 levels. We’re now tracking ahead of 2022 and 2025, while remaining below the exceptional activity seen in 2023.

After a quieter start to the summer, two consecutive weeks of stronger showings—combined with rising sales and a slower pace of new listings—are encouraging signs as we move toward the fall market.

Demand is strengthening without the market becoming overheated.

That’s balance.

The spike got our attention. The follow-through matters more.

SALES SLOWED. LISTINGS CLIMBED. BUT BUYERS GOT BUSIER. 👀

This week’s market delivered mixed signals:

📈 Showings increased 8% ⏳ More than 400 listings moved into pending status 🏷️ There were 704 price reductions

So, what does it all mean?

BUYER ACTIVITY IS BUILDING

After three relatively balanced weeks, showings increased across nearly every price range. The exception was the market above $1.2 million, where activity eased.

Across Alberta, showing activity also moved slightly ahead of where it was at this point in 2024—a level we’ve trailed for much of 2026.
Why is that important?

Showings typically lead sales by two to three weeks.

Sales may have declined this week, but they’re still reflecting the flatter showing activity from earlier in the summer. This week’s increase could begin translating into more firm deals later in August.

MORE INVENTORY DOESN’T TELL THE WHOLE STORY

New listings increased across every price range.

However, more inventory combined with fewer sales doesn’t automatically mean the market is weakening.

Some listings are leaving through expirations and terminations, more than 400 have moved into pending status, and buyers are actively engaging with fresh supply.

PRICING IS DOING THE HEAVY LIFTING

The 704 price reductions recorded over the past seven days send a clear message:

Buyers have more choice—and they’re becoming increasingly selective about value.

Listings positioned correctly are earning attention. Those priced for yesterday’s market are being forced to adjust.

THE TAKEAWAY

🔴 Watch showing activity before reacting to softer sales 🔴 Expect some of this activity to convert later in August 🔴 Don’t assume rising inventory automatically means weaker demand 🔴 Price for the market buyers are responding to today

Buyers are active. Sales are happening. But in this market, pricing earns attention.

Calgary may have been in summer mode, but these agents didn’t slow down. ☀️🏡

Through Stampede, vacations, and everything else July brings, they continued showing up for their clients, creating opportunities, and getting deals across the finish line.

Congratulations to our July Top Producers—way to keep the momentum going! 🔥

THE MARKET ISN’T ACCELERATING. IT ISN’T SLOWING. IT’S ROTATING.

For the past few months, activity has shifted from one price segment to another without either buyers or sellers clearly taking control. At the city-wide level, Calgary continues to feel balanced—but that doesn’t mean every part of the market is behaving the same way.

This week:
📉 Showings decreased 3% 📉 Sales decreased 2% 📉 New listings decreased 3%

Those are marginal changes, reinforcing the stability we’ve seen since the first week following Stampede.
The bigger story continues to be found within the micro markets. Individual communities, property types and price ranges can move very differently from the city-wide averages. A balanced overall market may still contain strong seller’s markets—and challenging buyer’s markets—depending on where you look.
July closed with 3.48 months of inventory across Calgary:
🏠 Detached: 2.91 months 🏘️ Row/Townhomes: 3.90 months 🏢 Apartments: 4.90 months

One encouraging development is the apartment sector. While detached and row housing inventory increased from June, apartment inventory remained relatively unchanged. After months of softening conditions, this could be an early sign that the condo market is beginning to find its footing.

Looking ahead, historical showing trends suggest August should remain relatively stable before the typical Labour Day slowdown, followed by a seasonal increase in buyer activity through September.

The strategy?
• Don’t make decisions based solely on city-wide averages. • Look closely at the specific community, property type and price range. • Watch for a modest lift in sales as recent showing activity works its way through the market. • Don’t mistake stability for stagnation—balanced markets can create better conditions for thoughtful decisions.
Calgary’s market isn’t standing still. It’s rotating, adjusting and potentially building a stronger foundation for what comes next.

Last week, we talked about not mistaking seasonality for a market shift.

This week’s numbers reinforced exactly that.
📈 While showing activity was virtually unchanged (down just 1%), the market is already showing signs of moving beyond the annual Stampede slowdown.

The biggest story? ✅ Sales jumped 29% week over week. ✅ New listings increased 7%, but buyer demand outpaced new supply. ✅ Every price range above $700K saw an increase in showing activity, a strong sign that buyers are returning.

It’s also important to remember that showings and sales don’t move together. Historically, stronger showing activity leads stronger sales by 2–3 weeks, which suggests there may still be more momentum ahead as we move through the second half of July.

This continues to support what we’ve been saying throughout 2026: Calgary isn’t in a boom market—it’s in a balanced market. Inventory continues to be absorbed at a healthy pace, creating opportunities for both buyers and sellers.

Looking at the bigger picture, Alberta’s long-term fundamentals remain incredibly strong. Recent projections continue to rank Calgary and the surrounding region among the fastest-growing areas in the province over the next 25 years, providing confidence that housing demand will remain well supported for years to come.

What does this mean? • Expect showing activity to continue building through the second half of July if seasonal trends hold. • The recent surge in sales may be just the beginning, as showing activity typically leads closed sales. • For sellers, conditions remain encouraging as buyer demand continues to absorb inventory. • For buyers, a balanced market still offers selection without the urgency we’ve seen in previous years.

Weekly numbers tell us what’s happening today.

Long-term trends tell us where the market is headed.
