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 September 2026, which you can read in full by clicking here:
- "While September sales typically pull back compared with August, stronger detached home sales helped prevent the typical seasonal pullback" (The Calgary Real Estate Board).
- "While the overall market is showing higher supply levels compared with sales activity, conditions vary significantly by property type" (The Calgary Real Estate Board).
- "The unadjusted residential benchmark price was $566,700, nearly one per cent lower than last year" (The Calgary Real Estate Board).
Calgary Real Estate Board Chief Economist Ann-Marie Lurie notes, "the variation in market conditions between property types is related to where the supply was added. The construction boom over the past three years was mostly driven by gains in higher-density sectors, significantly increasing the supply of apartment and row-style homes. Meanwhile, detached homes did not see the same boost in construction, preventing broad-based supply growth. Thanks to a stronger job market and slower but positive net migration, housing demand has remained strong enough to absorb some of the supply, but not enough to offset the high-density supply added to the market, resulting in a more significant impact on prices for higher-density homes.”
