Where Calgary buyers are buying, what they're paying and where the market is shifting.
Six findings from 20,943 Calgary residential sales, measured against the 23,157 sales in the twelve months before.
The flat city median is the most misleading number in this report. It didn't hold because prices held — it held because more of what sold was detached. Strip the mix out and every property type is down, between two and seven per cent. I've watched this pattern through several Calgary cycles: it's why a seller who reads a headline about a flat market and prices to it usually ends up chasing the market down. The eight extra days on market matter more than the price change. That's the number that tells you buyers have stopped feeling rushed.

All figures are median sold prices from MLS® sales data. A median is the midpoint of what actually sold. It is not the same as a benchmark price, which is CREB®'s MLS® Home Price Index estimate for a typical home holding quality and features constant, and it is not an average, which a handful of very expensive sales can pull upward. Because a median reflects what sold, it moves when the mix of what sold changes — which is exactly what happened in Calgary this year. CREB® benchmark figures are published on our Calgary market stats page.

The 180 communities with at least 30 sales in the period, ranked by transaction count. Sales volume is a measure of turnover and liquidity, not of desirability or price growth. Months of supply is active listings divided by the average monthly sales rate.

Showing the 40 highest-volume communities of 180 that met the threshold.
Detached houses are the only Calgary segment where sales volume grew this year, and the only segment large enough to compare community by community with confidence. These are like-for-like changes: detached medians compared against detached medians, so a change in the mix of property types cannot create a false movement. Only communities with at least 25 detached sales in both periods are shown.

Apartment condominiums recorded 4,330 sales, down 23.5% on the prior year — the steepest fall of any property type — with a median of $296,081 (-7.4%) and an average 52 days on market against 36 for detached. Of the 83 communities with enough apartment sales to measure in both periods, 70 recorded a lower median.

Months of supply is the clearest single indicator of negotiating position: active listings divided by the average monthly sales rate. It answers how long it would take to clear the current inventory at the current pace. Roughly speaking, under two months favours sellers, two to four is balanced, and above four favours buyers. Calgary as a whole sits at 3.5 months — but the range between communities is wider than the city figure suggests. Only communities with at least 40 sales are shown.
| Community | Months of supply | Active listings | Sales | Days on market |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Downtown East Village | 8.1 | 53 | 79 | 59 |
| Lower Mount Royal | 8.0 | 42 | 63 | 37 |

This is the single most important caveat in the report, and the reason the price sections above hold property type constant.
A community's all-property median can move sharply because the mix of what sold changed, even when no individual segment moved that way. In 6 Calgary communities the all-property median moved in the opposite direction to every property type inside it.
| Community | All-property median | What each property type actually did |
|---|---|---|
| Windsor Park | +91.6% | Apartment -10.0% |
| Panorama Hills | +36.0% | Apartment -10.9%, Row/Townhouse -7.2%, Semi Detached (Half Duplex) -5.5%, Detached -1.6% |
| Kingsland | +19.6% | Detached -14.4% |
| Haysboro | +17.6% | Apartment -13.1%, Detached -4.7% |
| Varsity | +15.2% | Apartment -6.6%, Row/Townhouse -3.2%, Detached -2.1% |
