Calgary Real Estate Market Update, August 10, 2026
Calgary’s market is still cooling, but not in a dramatic way. Sales and new listings both eased in July 2026, and prices are adjusting mostly in the apartment condo segment, which is feeling the most pressure right now.
Calgary recorded 1,904 sales in July 2026, down 9% year over year, while new listings fell 15% to 3,323. The Calgary benchmark price was about $569,200 in July 2026, down 2% from a year ago. The sales-to-new-listings ratio sat at 57% in July 2026, which points to a more balanced market overall.
RBC Economics noted on August 6, 2026 that Calgary’s MLS HPI fell 2.1% year over year in July 2026, with condos under the most pressure. CREB’s daily summary showed active listings around 6,731 on August 8, 2026, with average price at $629,855 and days on market at 40 in July 2026. The Bank of Canada policy rate remained at 2.25% as of July 15, 2026, which continues to shape borrowing costs for buyers this summer.
What this means for buyers and families is simple, there’s more breathing room than we had in the super-hot years, especially if you’re shopping in condos or higher-density homes. For sellers, pricing and presentation matter more now, because buyers have options and they’re not rushing like before.
Good homes still move, but the market is asking for strategy, not stress. Calm market, clear decisions, no panic buying, salamat naman.
