🏡 Calgary Real Estate Market Update – May 2026 📊

Calgary’s housing market continued to shift toward balanced conditions in May. Inventory climbed to 6,752 units, sitting 11% above long-term averages as apartment and row home supply remained elevated.

The impact is most noticeable in the apartment market, where inventory has surpassed five months of supply and conditions now strongly favor buyers. Detached and semi-detached homes remain relatively balanced, while row homes are trending toward more neutral conditions. Rising living costs, slower migration, and increased rental and new home supply are also weighing on buyer activity and price growth.
________________________________________________________________________________
🏠 Detached Homes

Benchmark Price: $747,800 (-2% YoY)
Months of Supply: 2.45
Sales: 1192 units (-6% YoY)

The detached market remains balanced overall, supported by limited inventory. Demand has been strongest for homes under $600,000 and luxury properties above $1.5 million. Market conditions vary across the city, with the West district remaining a seller’s market while the Northeast has shifted into buyer’s market.

🏡 Semi-Detached Homes

Benchmark Price: $691,100 (-1% YoY)
Months of Supply: 2.73
Sales: 217 units (-15% YoY)

Balanced conditions continue across the semi-detached segment. Prices have recovered from earlier in the year and are trending upward in most districts.

🏰 Row/Townhouses

Benchmark Price: $422,300 (-6% YoY)
Months of Supply: 3.35
Sales: 350 units (-23% YoY)

Inventory continues to improve as sales ease and new listings outpace demand. While prices have increased compared with the beginning of the year, they remain below 2025 levels. The largest price declines were reported in the Northeast and East districts, both down more than 10% year over year. The West district has remained the most resilient.

🏢 Apartments

Benchmark Price: $300,400 (-9% YoY)
Months of Supply: 5.14
Sales: 403 units (-30% YoY)

Buyer friendly conditions persist in the apartment market as elevated inventory and slower demand continue to pressure prices. Competition from rental properties and new condo developments is adding further supply. The sharpest price declines were seen in the Northeast, North, and East districts, all reporting double digit annual decreases.

Compared to surrounding communities, Ranchlands remains relatively affordable while offering a wider range of housing options.

Unlike many newer communities with cookie cutter homes, Ranchlands features more architectural variety and character. Mature trees, spacious lots, and natural greenery create a quiet atmosphere, while the earthy exterior tones of many homes add to the timeless charm of this established neighborhood.

In addition, Ranchlands Village, the community's largest plaza, offers a variety of Alberta Health Services, including a walk-in clinic, a pharmacy, and laboratory services.

🏡 Calgary Real Estate Market Update – March 2026 📊

Calgary’s housing market continued to split by property type in March. Overall conditions looked relatively balanced, but the details tell a more mixed story. Detached homes remained the tightest segment, with limited supply in many districts supporting price stability. At the same time, row and apartment style homes saw inventory rise well above long term averages, giving buyers more choice and putting more pressure on prices.

There were 1,881 sales in March, up from February but still 13% lower than last year. Much of the slowdown came from the apartment sector, where higher supply and slower migration are spreading demand across more listings. The citywide benchmark price reached $565,600, up nearly 1% from last month but down more than 4% from last year. After the first quarter, lower density home prices remained fairly stable, while apartment condo prices continued to trend lower.
________________________________________________________________________________
🏠 Detached Homes

Benchmark Price: $741,000 (-3% YoY)
Months of Supply: 2.22
Sales: 982 units (-5% YoY)

Detached homes remained the tightest segment of the market in March. Supply was especially limited in the Northwest, West, South, Southeast, and East districts, where conditions stayed quite competitive. The City Centre and North were more balanced, while the Northeast continued to show more supply relative to demand.

🏡 Semi-Detached Homes

Benchmark Price: $686,100 (-1% YoY)
Months of Supply: 2.49
Sales: 193 units (5% YoY)

Semi-detached sales rose from last year for the second month in a row, supported by gains in both new listings and inventory. Market conditions remained relatively balanced overall, with both sales and inventory tracking close to long term trends.

🏰 Row/Townhouses

Benchmark Price: $423,900 (-6% YoY)
Months of Supply: 2.98
Sales: 322 units (-19% YoY)

Row home sales continued to slow in March, while new listings and rising inventory gave buyers more options. Most districts remain balanced, but the Northeast has shifted further in the buyer’s favor. Prices across the city held fairly steady compared with last month, though they remain well below last year’s level.

🏢 Apartments

Benchmark Price: $300,300 (-9% YoY)
Months of Supply: 4.62
Sales: 384 units (-29% YoY)

Apartments continue to face the most pressure. Inventory climbed to 1,774 units, close to record highs for March, as new listings outpaced sales. With buyers having far more choice, prices have struggled to gain momentum.
