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 sellersbuyers, 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 April 2026, which you can read in full by clicking here:

  • "April sales totaled 2,104 units, six per cent lower than levels reported in 2025" (The Calgary Real Estate Board).
  • "With 3,829 new listings in April, the sales-to-new-listings ratio remained at 55 per cent, supporting a modest monthly gain in supply. Inventory levels reached 5,973 units" (The Calgary Real Estate Board).
  • "The unadjusted total residential benchmark price trended up compared with March, reaching $568,800" (The Calgary Real Estate Board).
  • Calgary Real Estate Board Chief Economist Ann-Marie Lurie notes, "sales were expected to ease this year as our market transitioned away from strong demand that was driven by previously rapid migration growth. Improved supply choice across the entire housing spectrum has reduced the urgency among potential purchasers, helping our market shift away from seller’s market conditions to more balanced conditions. However, the trend of limited supply choice in the detached market continues, while conditions favour the buyer in the apartment condominium market” (The Calgary Real Estate Board).
