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 January 2026, which you can read in full by clicking here:
- "Calgary reported 1,234 sales in January, a year-over-year decline of 15 per cent, but in line with typical levels of activity for the month" (CREB®).
- "The rise in new listings compared to sales caused inventory levels to increase to 4,391 units, the highest January level since 2020" (CREB®).
- "Year-over-year total residential benchmark prices have declined by nearly five per cent" (CREB®).
Calgary Real Estate Board Chief Economist Ann-Marie Lurie notes, "following the typical December slowdown, potential buyers for high-density homes were more hesitant to return to the market in January, as increased supply choice across all aspects of the market has reduced the sense of urgency. At the same time, sellers were quick to bring their listings onto the market, causing the sales-to-new-listings ratio to drop to 44 per cent, mostly due to shifts in apartment and row-style homes. Overall, this is not entirely uncommon for January, as both buyers and sellers weigh their options ahead of the spring market.”
