The Truth About Calgary’s Market Right Now
“Markets shift, but opportunity never disappears—it just changes shape.”
In August 2025, 1,989 homes in Calgary changed hands—down about 9% from August 2024.
There were 3,478 new listings in August, slightly down year-over-year, but total inventory has jumped 48% to 6,661 homes for sale.
The benchmark home price in Calgary fell 4.1% compared to last year, sitting around $577,200 in August.
Price drops are most steep for apartments (–5.8% year over year) and townhouses or row homes (around –4.8%). Detached homes are more stable, with a benchmark of about $755,600 and only a slight decline.
What This Means for Buyers
More supply means more choice. With inventory up nearly 50%, buyers can take time to find what they want without being pressured into overpriced options.
Price declines in lower-density homes like apartments and townhouses give buyers good leverage in those segments.
Detached homes have less decline and more stable demand, making them a safer bet for long-term value.
What This Means for Sellers
If your property is in the apartment or townhouse category, expect more competition. Homes are staying longer on the market.
Homes in newer or high-supply districts—like the North, North East, and East—are seeing larger price drops, which means sellers in those areas may need to adjust expectations.
For detached homes, smart pricing and strong presentation will still win buyers’ attention—but sellers should not expect rapid gains.
Why Investors Should Pay Attention
Apartments and row homes are softening significantly and may offer attractive entry points for investors who can wait out short-term demand weakness.
Semi-detached homes are relatively strong, showing modest price growth and better stability, which makes them a “sweet spot” for many investors.
The multifamily market shows signs of stabilizing as well. Investment sales volumes are close to last year’s levels, though average sale prices are moderating.

Final Word: Don’t Wait for the Crowd
Here’s what the numbers show: when inventory rises, homes take longer to sell; when demand softens, price stability depends on location and product type. The best opportunities often show up where others hesitate.
