Calgary Detached Homes Hold While Condos Sag
Watching Calgary’s late-Q3 market unfold, I’m reminded just how much local families rely on steady, informed guidance—especially when the numbers start to shift. We saw total residential sales hit 1,650, down about 4% year-over-year, and the benchmark price settled at $566,700, a slight 1% dip. Inventory remains healthy, with a four-month supply—signs of stability for most segments, but the details tell a bigger story. Detached homes, the heart of so many Calgary communities I’ve worked with, actually saw sales rise over 4% to 896, even as their benchmark price edged down by 1% to $739,400. The sales-to-new-listings ratio hovered just above 50%, and there’s just over three months of supply—indicators of a balanced, resilient market for single-family buyers and sellers. Meanwhile, higher-density options felt the weight of recent construction booms. Apartment condos posted 343 sales, down 14%, with benchmark prices falling more than 8% to $291,400. Row homes hit $412,400, and their supply reached new highs—important context for anyone weighing their next move or mortgage. Even with some late-Q3 softness, seasonally adjusted prices held relatively steady, and continued strong employment and positive net migration are helping support demand. After two decades in Calgary real estate, I know that reading between the lines is just as important as the headline stats.
