Every month the Calgary Real Estate Board releases a report detailing what has been happening in the real estate market. These reports provide valuable information to sellers, buyers, and investors alike. Real estate requires strategic decision making, so staying informed is crucial to ensure you are making the best moves possible.
Here are the highlights from The The Calgary Real Estate Board's market report for July 2026, which you can read in full by clicking here:
- "In July, both sales and new listings eased over June levels, declining to 1,904 sales and 3,323 new listings" (The Calgary Real Estate Board).
- "The unadjusted total residential benchmark price was $569,200, down slightly over June and two per cent lower than levels reported last year" (The Calgary Real Estate Board).
- "While demand has slowed this year, levels remain stronger than those reported during the challenging market conditions experienced from 2015 to 2019" (The Calgary Real Estate Board).
Calgary Real Estate Board Chief Economist Ann-Marie Lurie notes, "several consecutive years of high construction levels and the sudden drop in mostly international migration have contributed to the shift in housing market conditions mostly for higher-density homes, a transition that started in the second half of last year. While new home construction is slowing, there are over 17,000 apartment-style units under construction. This continues to weigh on rental and higher-density properties, driving price adjustments.”
