Calgary Real Estate Market Brief — September 2026
$566,700 benchmark, 3.93 months of supply, reported days on market: 44. That reads as balanced, leaning to sellers.
Calgary's residential benchmark price was $566,700 in September 2026. Here is what CREB® reported, by property type and by quadrant, and what it changes for a buyer or a seller this month.
What changed in September 2026
Calgary's residential benchmark price was $566,700 in September 2026, down 0.8% on a year ago. That is down from $569,800 in August 2026.
Sales came in at 1,650, down 3.9% from the same month last year. There were 6,486 homes in inventory, down 6.3% year over year, against 3,354 new listings. At 3.93 months of supply (down 2.5% on last year), that is balanced, leaning to sellers on the usual reading — between two and four months of supply.
CREB reported 44 days on market. The dataset does not identify whether this measure is a mean or median. Sales divided by new listings in the reporting period was 49.2%. Sales and new listings are period totals, not a matched group: this is not the percentage of that month's new listings that sold.
Every figure on this page comes from the Calgary Real Estate Board’s September 2026 report. Source release date supplied with the dataset: 2026-10-01; not independently verified here. Ratios are labelled calculations from those figures.
By property type
The city-wide benchmark hides four very different markets. Apartments and detached homes rarely move together, and a buyer comparing them is comparing two different supply pictures.
| Type | Benchmark | Year over year | Months of supply | Sales | Days on market |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | $739,400 | -0.95% | 3.31 | 896 | 38 |
| Semi-detached | $685,200 | 0.09% | 3.67 | 163 | 43 |
| Row / townhouse | $412,400 | -5.54% | 4.45 | 248 | 50 |
| Apartment | $291,400 | -8.28% | 5.29 | 343 | 55 |

By quadrant
Where you are buying matters as much as what. These are CREB’s district figures for the four Calgary quadrants.
| Quadrant | Benchmark | Year over year | Detached benchmark | Detached months of supply |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NW | $627,000 | -0.2% | $781,400 | 2.86 |
| NE | $461,200 | -6.1% | $556,600 | 5.61 |
| SW | $721,200 | 1.7% | $993,700 | 2.73 |
| SE | $553,700 | -1.6% | $698,900 | 3.34 |

Who these conditions favour
Calgary is not one market. By months of supply, home type by home type:
| Type | Months of supply | Reads as |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 3.31 | balanced, leaning to sellers |
| Semi-detached | 3.67 | balanced, leaning to sellers |
| Row / townhouse | 4.45 | balanced, leaning to buyers |
| Apartment | 5.29 | balanced, leaning to buyers |
Under two months of supply favours sellers, two to four leans to sellers, four to six leans to buyers, and six or more favours buyers. The same bands are used everywhere on this site.
Apartments and condo questions
CREB apartment segment: a benchmark of $291,400, -8.28% on a year earlier, with 5.29 months of supply, which reads as balanced, leaning to buyers and reported days on market of 55.
Apartment and row/townhouse are property forms, not confirmation of condominium title. Check the actual ownership documents. In a condo the building matters as much as the unit: the fee, the reserve fund and any special assessment are in the condo documents, not in these numbers. The building pages show what each building’s current listings disclose.
Questions for your own property decision
The tables describe completed-period sales and inventory by property type. They do not establish the value, condition, financing requirements or appropriate offer terms for an individual home.
Compare the relevant property type, location, price range and ownership costs. A city-wide ratio does not justify reducing conditions or predict how quickly a particular home will sell.
Discuss your property and the questions these figures raise.
