Calgary Real Estate Market Update, April 20, 2026
Hey folks, Calgary’s housing scene is splitting into two clear paths right now. Detached homes are tightening up for sellers, while apartments and condos are giving buyers real breathing room with more supply and softer prices.
This matters big time if you’re shopping, especially with spring picking up.
Key Data Points from the Latest Reports
- Calgary’s benchmark home price hit $565,600 in March 2026, down 4.2% year-over-year but up 0.9% monthly, according to CREB. Sales dropped 12.9% to 1,881 homes, with inventory at 5,395 units (up 4.7% YoY).
- Detached and semi-detached markets are seller-favouring: semis at $682,200 benchmark with just 2.4 months of supply. Overall months of supply at 2.9.
- Apartment condo market flipped to buyer-friendly: 4.6 months of supply, sales down 27% YoY, benchmark prices fell 9% to $298,600. Condo prices also down 4.5% YoY to around $257,000.
- Alberta housing starts dipped to 44.08K (SAAR) in recent data from CMHC, down 5% monthly and 21% YoY.
What This Means for You
For buyers and families, this means more leverage on condos and apartments, no more crazy bidding wars there. Detached hunters, act soon, supply’s low but prices held steady.
Sellers in the condo space, price sharp to stand out with that rising inventory.
