  • Calgary condo market continues slide, heavily favouring buyers as June begins

    With condo supply levels in Calgary remaining elevated and demand easing, the months of supply has pushed above five months.

    Additional supply choice in the rental and new-home markets is heavily weighing on resale condominiums. The Calgary Real Estate Board released its May housing report on June 1.
    Condo sales continued to slow into May, contributing to a year-to-date decline of nearly 28 per cent. At the same time, while new listings are not as high as last year, the 403 sales compared to 961 new listings caused the sales- to-new-listings ratio to fall to 42 per cent, keeping inventories
    elevated.
    With supply levels remaining elevated and demand easing, the months of supply has pushed above five months, creating conditions favourable to buyers. The excess supply is also weighing on prices, as the unadjusted benchmark price continues to decline. In May, the unadjusted benchmark price was $300,400, lower than January levels and nine per cent below last year’s price.
    Prices have eased across each district, with double-digit declines occurring in the North East, North, and East districts.
    The lowest price decline occurred in the North West district at six per cent. Overall inventory within the Calgary board has risen from the start of the year, reaching 6,752 units in May.
    While these levels are consistent with last May, they remain 11 per cent higher than longer-term trends for the month, thanks to higher supply levels of apartment and row style homes. Meanwhile, inventory levels for detached homes are down three per cent compared with both last year and long-term trends.
    At the same time, sales activity has been slowing. Calgary sales in May were 2,162 units, 16 per cent lower than last year’s levels and similar to sales reported in April.

  • Calgary detached benchmark remains unchanged in February from January

    Calgary’s detached home sales were similar in February to the same month for 2025, Calgary Real Estate Board’s monthly report shows. The board released their news statistics report on March 2.

    In February, the benchmark price for detached homes in Calgary was $734,300; one per cent higher for January but three per cent lower for February 2025. City Centre and the West were the only areas in the city to show month-over-month gains for the same period.

    There were 736 detached sales in February, down four per cent year-over-year and the 1,392 total detached sales the first two months of 2026 represent a three per cent decline from the same period in 2025.

    At month’s end there were three months supply of detached homes in Calgary and sales-to-new listings ratio of 55 per cent, which is considered OK.

  • Another way Calgary realtors know the market has changed

    Most every media report you read right now will tell you using statistics how the real estate market Canada-wide has begun leaning towards one that favours buyers and not sellers.

    New home construction in Calgary is expected to fall 34 per cent in 2026 to 18,415 new builds, according to Calgary Real Estate Board’s annual forecast.

    The Calgary Herald this past week (on Feb. 19) came out with a report using RBC Economics that among other things let us know that “Calgary saw its sales fall year over year in January almost 15 per cent.” The monthly Calgary Real Estate Board for January said the same thing and the one that comes out in a couple of weeks for February will as well.

    For realtors there’s another indicator that shows up in our emails every morning that lets you know things have changed – invitations from the Calgary area home builders to come out to see their new product and bring your clients with you. The emails often contain incentives from builders such as free basement developments and upgrades. A good reason to take a realtor with you when you first approach a builder is that they will know of those incentives and can push for them.

  • What is a bare land condo?

    This semi-detached home is a bare land condo.

    Among the showings I did with clients this past weekend was a really nice place in a 30-unit complex in Signal Hill.

    The catch with this property – a semi-detached bungalow villa – was that it is a bare land condo. So, I had to explain what exactly is a bare land condo anyway? Which I was happy to do.

    Unlike conventional condos, a bare land condo comes with a real property report, which simply put is a map of your home/lot. So, you own the land that the home sits on, but you are part of a home ownership association that collectively is responsible for the rest of the property. With bare land condos you won’t have free reign to do what you want with the exterior, such as paint it a different colour than the rest of the units, or park an RV in the driveway. Stuff like that.

  • Sizable sales decline for Calgary in January

    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. While sales declined across all property types, the steepest declines occurred in higher-density homes, Calgary Real Estate Board reported Monday.

    The rise in new listings compared to sales caused inventory levels to increase to 4,391 units, the highest January level since 2020. However, as with sales, conditions vary by property type, with row and apartment homes facing higher levels of inventory compared to long-term trends. The result is months of supply that ranges from under three months in the detached sector to five months for apartment-style homes.
