July 2026: Calgary Housing Market At A Glance

Calgary is moving through summer in a balanced overall market, but the story looks very different depending on the type of home you own or want to buy. Sales picked up from May, yet remain slightly below last year, while prices have flattened out or eased in several segments.

What’s Happening City-Wide

  • Around 2,200 homes changed hands in June, a modest uptick from May but roughly 4% fewer sales than the same time last year.
  • Total inventory is just under 6,800 listings, about 2% lower than last June, giving the city roughly 3.1 months of supply, the textbook definition of a balanced market.
  • The benchmark price for a typical Calgary home is sitting near the mid-$570,000s, down about 2% year-over-year but edging up slightly month-over-month.

For buyers, that means more choice and a bit more negotiating power than in the last few ultra-tight years, especially outside the detached segment. For sellers, accurate pricing and strong presentation matter more now that buyers have options.

Detached And Semi-Detached: Still The Tightest

  • Detached homes remain the strongest part of the market, with just 2.5 months of supply and over 1,200 sales in June.
  • The detached benchmark is around $750,500, slightly below last year but inching higher month-to-month, and average detached sale prices are in the mid-$800,000s.
  • Semi-detached homes are in a similar spot, with about 2.5 months of supply, stable prices around the mid-$690,000s for the benchmark, and average sale prices above $700,000.

In practical terms, well-priced detached and semi-detached homes in popular districts are still drawing solid interest and can sell quickly, while more price-sensitive pockets, especially parts of the North East and East, are seeing softer demand and deeper discounts.

Townhomes And Condos: Choice Is Up, Prices Are Adjusting

Row and townhomes sit closer to 3.5 months of supply, with prices down year-over-year across every district. Benchmark values are in the low-$400,000s, with average sale prices in the low-to-mid $430,000s.

Apartment condos are firmly in buyer’s market territory, with nearly five months of supply, elevated inventory, and prices down close to 9% year-over-year to roughly $299,000 on the benchmark and $340,000 on the average sale price.

This surge in higher-density supply is reshaping the condo market: investors and first-time buyers now have more leverage, while sellers need to be strategic on price and timing to stand out.

What This Means If You’re Buying Or Selling With Rob & Kim

  • Sellers of detached and semi-detached homes can still capitalize on solid demand, but granular pricing by community and price band is critical as some districts are hitting record highs while others are correcting.
  • Townhome and condo sellers are competing with a larger pool of listings, so compelling pricing, professional marketing, and data-driven positioning are essential.
  • Buyers, particularly in the apartment and row segments, have more room to negotiate, compare options, and move up a property type without the bidding-war pressure seen in recent years.

July Is About Strategy, Not Panic.

Detached and semi-detached owners are still in a favourable spot, while condo and townhome buyers may find some of the best selection and relative value Calgary has offered in years.
