July 2026 Calgary Real Estate Statistics Recap

Calgary’s housing market continued its seasonal slowdown in July, with 1,904 sales and 3,323 new listings recorded across the city. Sales declined 9% compared to last year, while new listings were down 15% year-over-year. Despite the slowdown in activity, the sales-to-new-listings ratio held steady at 57%, reflecting a market that remains relatively balanced overall. 

“Several years of elevated construction activity, combined with a sharp slowdown in international migration, have shifted housing market conditions—particularly for higher-density homes,” said Ann-Marie Lurie, Chief Economist at CREB®. “While new home construction has begun to slow, more than 17,000 apartment-style homes remain under…

Calgary's Concrete Chronicles: Calgary Courts Centre

Some buildings define a city's skyline. Others quietly keep the city running. 

The Calgary Courts Centre is one of those buildings.

Every day, thousands of people walk through its doors. Some are reporting for jury duty. Others are appearing in court, meeting with lawyers, filing legal documents, or attending hearings that could change the course of their lives. For most visitors, it's not a place they planned to spend their day—but it's a building every city depends on.

As someone with a background in construction, I see something else. Behind the glass and limestone is one of Calgary's most impressive reinforced concrete structures, engineered to perform for generations. That's exactly…

June 2026 Calgary Real Estate Statistics Recap      

Calgary’s housing market showed signs of improvement in June, with 2,197 sales recorded across the city. While this represented a monthly increase, sales were nearly 4% lower than last year and remained below long-term averages. The slowdown continued to be driven by apartment-style homes, where rising inventory has softened demand. In contrast, the highest price ranges and the most affordable segments saw year-over-year sales gains. 

“The easing of demand for resale homes isn’t unexpected given slower migration, which has reduced both rental and homeownership demand for higher-density housing,” said Ann-Marie Lurie, Chief Economist at…

Calgary Farmers' Markets: Where Fresh Food Meets Community

Calgary's farmers' markets have become much more than places to buy fresh produce. They're gathering places where local farmers, artisans, bakers, and small businesses connect directly with the communities they serve.

For many Calgarians, a trip to the farmers' market has become part of the weekend routine. Whether you're picking up vegetables grown just outside the city, fresh baking, locally raised meats, or handcrafted products, these markets offer a closer connection to the people and places that help shape Alberta's food culture.

For homebuyers, they're also another example of the lifestyle different Calgary communities offer. Living close to a year-round market, seasonal…

May 2026 Calgary Real Estate Statistics Recap      

Inventory levels continued to build in May, reaching 6,752 units, keeping supply above historical norms. While inventory is in line with last year's levels, gains remain concentrated in the apartment and row-home segments. Detached homes continue to face tighter conditions, with inventory sitting below both last year's levels and long-term averages. 

"The shift in supply is being felt across the market," said Ann-Marie Lurie, Chief Economist at CREB®. "More choice in the new home and rental markets has created additional competition, while affordability concerns and slower migration have reduced urgency among buyers. As a result,…

April 2026 Calgary Real Estate Statistics Recap      

Calgary’s housing market followed typical spring patterns in April, with both sales and inventory increasing compared to March. Despite this seasonal lift, sales reached 2,104 units, down 6% from April 2025, reflecting a market that continues to normalize after several years of elevated demand. 

“Sales were expected to ease as the market moves away from the surge driven by rapid migration in recent years,” said Ann-Marie Lurie, Chief Economist at CREB®. “Improved supply across all housing types has reduced urgency among buyers, helping shift conditions toward balance. That said, detached homes still face limited supply, while…

Calgary Homes Are Evolving—Quietly (And Most Buyers Miss This)

I was walking through Brentwood the other day with a client, and from the outside, the home looked like it hadn’t changed since the 60s. Same charm, same curb appeal. 

But the moment we stepped inside? Completely different story.

Open-concept layout. Dedicated home office. Smart lighting everywhere. Even an EV charger in the garage.

And here’s the part most people overlook…

None of that works without what’s behind the walls.

The Hidden Upgrade Powering Calgary Homes

March 2026 Calgary Real Estate Statistics Recap      

Calgary’s housing market continued to show clear differences across property types in March. While inventory levels rose as expected heading into the spring market, supply remained well above long-term averages for row and apartment-style homes, and below typical levels for detached properties. This reflects last year’s slowdown in detached construction, contrasted by record-high apartment development.

Sales activity reached 1,881 units in March, increasing from February but still 13% lower than last year and below historical averages for the month. Much of the decline was driven by weaker activity in the apartment segment, where…

Calgary’s Concrete Chronicles: The +15 Skywalk Network

This edition of Calgary’s Concrete Chronicles dives into one of the most quietly influential pieces of urban infrastructure in the city - a system so embedded in daily life that many Calgarians forget how radical it really is. The +15 Skywalk Network isn’t flashy. It doesn’t ask for attention. But it has shaped how downtown Calgary works for more than five decades.  

Suspended above the street grid and stitched through office towers, hotels, retail centres, and cultural spaces, the +15 is pure Calgary thinking: practical, climate-aware, and unapologetically efficient.

This is concrete designed for movement, survival, and continuity - a city built one level above itself.

February 2026 Calgary Real Estate Statistics Recap     

Calgary’s housing market continued to show varying conditions across property types in February. The tightest market segments remained detached and semi-detached homes, where supply levels stayed below three months. Row homes were slightly more balanced, while apartment-style properties continued to see elevated supply, creating conditions that favour buyers.

According to CREB®, slower migration is occurring at the same time that new housing supply—particularly in the apartment sector—is increasing. Last year saw record levels of housing construction, with a significant share coming from apartment developments. Currently, nearly …
