Calgary Real Estate Market Update – March 2026
Detached Homes Tighten While Condo Supply Grows
Looking for the latest Calgary real estate market insights? The February 2026 data shows a housing market that is gradually moving toward more balanced conditions.
While detached homes remain relatively tight in supply, apartment-style condos are seeing increased inventory due to a large number of new units under construction across the city.
Overall, Calgary currently has 3.16 months of housing supply, indicating a balanced market environment compared to the intense seller’s market conditions seen in previous years.
Understanding these trends can help buyers and sellers make more informed real estate decisions in Calgary’s evolving housing market.

1,526 homes sold

Detached Homes in Calgary Remain Competitive
Detached homes continue to represent one of the strongest segments of Calgary’s housing market.
The benchmark price for detached homes is currently $734,300, reflecting a modest 3.2% year-over-year decrease.
Despite the slight price adjustment, demand remains strong for many properties, particularly in the $500,000 to $700,000 price range, where many first-time buyers and move-up buyers are active.
However, homes priced above this range are seeing:
• Slightly longer days on market
• More negotiation room for buyers
• More balanced supply and demand
For sellers, proper pricing and strong marketing are becoming increasingly important in today’s market.
Calgary Condo Market Facing Higher Supply
The apartment condominium market is currently experiencing the most noticeable shift in Calgary’s housing market.
The benchmark price for apartments is approximately $298,600, representing a 9.3% year-over-year decrease.
Several factors are contributing to this trend:
• A large number of apartment units under construction
• New rental developments entering the market
• Slower migration growth compared to the previous few years
As a result, buyers interested in condos may find more options and stronger negotiating opportunities compared to detached homes.
For investors and first-time buyers, this segment could offer attractive entry points into the Calgary real estate market.
Row Homes and Semi-Detached Homes Remain Balanced
Other property types are showing more balanced conditions.
Semi-Detached Homes
Benchmark Price: $682,200
Row Homes
Benchmark Price: $423,600
These types of homes often provide a balance between affordability and space, making them attractive for buyers who want more room than a condo but at a lower price point than a detached home.
Calgary Housing Prices by District
Real estate conditions also vary depending on location across Calgary.
Benchmark prices by district include:
• City Centre – $563,900
• North West – $618,100
• South – $565,200
• South East – $544,600
• North East – $471,200
Neighbourhood-specific trends can vary significantly depending on inventory levels, property type, and price ranges.
Expert Insight from a Calgary Realtor
From my experience working with buyers and sellers across Calgary, the market today requires more strategy than it did during the peak seller’s market.
“Detached homes in the $500,000 to $700,000 range are still seeing strong demand, while the condo market is giving buyers more options. Pricing strategy has become much more important again compared to the past couple of years when almost everything was selling quickly.”
— Emin Ozkan, Calgary Real Estate Agent
Understanding these market dynamics can help buyers and sellers make better real estate decisions.
What This Means for Calgary Home Buyers
For buyers entering the market, conditions are becoming more balanced compared to the previous few years.
Key takeaways for buyers:
• More inventory means more options
• Detached homes remain competitive in entry-level price ranges
• Condo buyers may find stronger negotiating opportunities
• Sellers are becoming slightly more flexible on pricing
For many buyers, this could represent an opportunity to purchase before demand increases during the spring market.
What This Means for Calgary Home Sellers
For homeowners considering selling their property, the market remains active but more competitive.
Homes that are well-priced and professionally marketed are still selling successfully, while properties that are overpriced may sit longer.
Successful sellers today are focusing on:

A well-executed strategy can make a significant difference in both the speed of sale and final price achieved.
