🏡 Calgary Real Estate Market Update – August 2026 📊
In August, Calgary's housing market continued to slow, with sales falling 16% from last year to 1,660 units. New listings also declined nearly 10% to 3,141 units. Despite lower inventory, the slowdown in sales pushed months of supply to nearly four months.
Detached and semi-detached homes remain relatively balanced, while row homes and especially apartment-style homes continue to face higher supply and buyer’s market conditions.
Higher-priced homes have been more active, with sales over $1 million increasing from last year, mainly driven by detached and semi-detached properties. Meanwhile, favourable rental conditions are limiting the transition from renting to homeownership, particularly in the lower price ranges.
