Calgary Real Estate Market Report - April 2026

Real estate market report for April 2026

Spring is in full swing, and the Calgary market is seeing more listings and increased activity. What really stands out right now is how much the market varies depending on property type and location. Some detached homes are still selling quickly, while others are seeing price adjustments. Row and townhomes are more balanced, and the apartment sector continues to favour buyers with higher inventory levels and more choice available.


In a market like this, pricing strategy matters more than ever. Getting the price right from the start can have a major impact on both your timeline and your final sale price. If you are thinking about selling, or simply want a better understanding of your home’s current value, I’m always happy to help you build the right strategy for today’s market.

In line with seasonal expectations, both sales and inventory levels trended up relative to March’s activity. Despite this typical monthly rise, April sales totalled 2,104 units, six per cent lower than levels reported in 2025.


“Sales were expected to ease this year as our market transitioned away from strong demand that was driven by previously rapid migration growth. Improved supply choice across the entire housing spectrum has reduced the urgency among potential purchasers, helping our market shift away from seller’s market conditions to more balanced conditions,” said Ann-Marie Lurie, CREB®’s Chief Economist. “However, the trend of limited supply choice in the detached market continues, while conditions favour the buyer in the apartment condominium market.”


With 3,829 new listings in April, the sales-to-new-listings ratio remained at 55 per cent, supporting a modest monthly gain in supply. Inventory levels reached 5,973 units, nearly two per cent higher than levels reported last April. Overall, the months of supply remained just below three, representing relatively balanced conditions. However, this ranged from just over two months for detached homes to over four months for apartment-style homes.

Calgary Real Estate Market Report - March 2026

Calgary Real Estate Market Report - February 2026

By Lesley Birkkjaer • March 6, 2026
March is here, and with it comes the start of Calgary’s spring real estate season. February brought a noticeable increase in new listings, particularly in the apartment-style condo market, where thousands of new units came to market. With more options available, that segment is beginning to favour buyers. Detached and semi-detached homes, however, remain closer to balanced conditions, with roughly three months of supply. Well-priced homes in desirable areas are still seeing strong interest. Spring is traditionally one of the busiest times of the year for real estate, so it will be interesting to see how the market unfolds as more buyers and sellers jump in over the coming weeks. One quick reminder for sellers: listing photos matter. For most buyers, the first showing happens online while browsing MLS listings. Clean, well-staged spaces and professional photography can make a significant difference in attracting showings and generating interest.

Calgary Real Estate Market Report - January 2026

By Lesley Birkkjaer • February 11, 2026
February is here, and Calgary’s real estate market continues with a more balanced pace. Inventory is growing, days on market now averaging around 90–120 days, with the apartment sector seeing the largest price adjustment. That said, well-priced and well-presented homes are still moving. My recent Brentwood listing sold in less than a week, and my Edgemont listing went conditional in just eight days. Proof that strategy and preparation still matter. On a personal note, I’m incredibly grateful to be ranked in the top 10% of Calgary REALTORS®. Thank you to my amazing clients, friends, and family for your continued trust and referrals. I’m excited to see what spring brings!

Calgary Real Estate Market Report - December 2025

By Lesley Birkkjaer • January 8, 2026
January 2026 is officially underway, and it feels good to be back into the rhythm after the holidays. I hope your New Year started off on a positive note, surrounded by family and friends. The market has wasted no time either. January has been busy so far, which is always a welcome way to kick off the year. As we closed out last year, the market continued shifting into a more balanced space, leaning slightly toward buyers. Benchmark prices dipped about 2 percent overall. With slower immigration and more new housing starts, inventory increased, giving buyers more options heading into 2026. Looking ahead, spring will give us a clearer picture of how active the market will be this year. There is already momentum building, including a new listing coming soon in Brentwood, a fantastic location with long-term appeal. If a move is on your radar this year, it is a great time to start planning .

Calgary Real Estate Market Report - October 2025

By Lesley Birkkjaer • November 10, 2025
I hope you had a great October and enjoyed a mild Halloween! In October, inventory levels eased slightly after several months of steady growth. Detached and semi-detached homes saw the biggest change, with a bit less supply and sales holding steady, even as we head into the quieter months. Row homes and apartments still have more availability, which gives buyers a few extra options. On a lighter note, the RE/MAX Bowlarama was a fantastic event this month. It is always great to connect with colleagues and support a good cause outside the office. As we approach the holidays, expect the pace to slow before picking up again in the new year. If you’re curious about what this means for your buying or selling plans, reach out to me . I’d love to chat.

Calgary Real Estate Market Report - September 2025

By Lesley Birkkjaer • October 10, 2025
October’s here, and while we’ve had some beautiful fall weather, it looks like snow might be sneaking into the forecast just in time for Halloween! As we head into the final stretch of the year, Calgary’s real estate market continues to shift toward a more balanced pace. Inventory is up about 36% compared to this time last year, with most of that growth coming from apartments and row homes. Detached homes have seen smaller increases, and prices are adjusting accordingly. It’s been a busy season of change, and as always, I’m happy to talk through what this means for your buying or selling plans. Feel free to reach out anytime.

Calgary Real Estate Market Report - August 2025

By Lesley Birkkjaer • September 12, 2025
Welcome to September! Summer may be winding down, but the great weather has been a bonus. Looking back at August, the market feels very similar to July. We’re seeing more inventory on the market, which has created a buyer’s market. Prices have dipped about 4% overall, with row houses and apartments seeing the biggest declines, while detached homes in popular areas are holding up a little better. For buyers, this means more choice and opportunity. For sellers, it means homes are taking longer to move, closer to 60 to 90 days or more, and pricing them correctly has never been more important. If you’d like to talk about how this market affects your plans, I’d be happy to chat .

Calgary Real Estate Market Report - July 2025

By Lesley Birkkjaer • August 19, 2025
As summer winds down, Calgary’s real estate market continues to shift. Inventory is climbing as a wave of new builds reach completion across the city. The apartment sector has felt the biggest impact, with new complexes rising in nearly every quadrant. At the same time, a number of communities are seeing increased supply of detached homes. With this added inventory, Calgary’s benchmark price has started to ease. Market conditions are returning to more typical, pre-pandemic levels, and properties are taking longer to sell. If you’d like to talk about what these changes mean for your plans, I’d be happy to connect .
