Calgary's Housing Market Shifts as Winter Approaches – What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know

Published November 4, 2026 | By Hanney Nelson Real Estate Group

Calgary's real estate market continues to evolve as we move toward the end of 2026. According to the latest statistics released by the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®), October saw fewer home sales, declining inventory, and a growing divide between the detached housing market and higher-density properties such as condominiums and townhouses.

While Calgary home prices have remained relatively stable overall, buyers are finding more negotiating opportunities in certain segments of the market.

The biggest takeaway? Calgary is not experiencing one single housing market. Conditions vary significantly depending on property type, price range, and neighbourhood.

For anyone considering buying, selling, or investing in Calgary real estate, understanding these differences is essential.

Calgary Real Estate Market Statistics – October 2026

Here is a snapshot of Calgary's residential real estate market compared with October 2025.

Calgary recorded 1,592 residential sales in October, representing a decline of more than 15% compared with the same month last year.

Despite slower sales, the number of available homes also declined. Inventory reached 6,173 properties, approximately 4.6% below October 2025 levels.

The city's residential benchmark price was $564,200, just 0.35% lower than a year earlier.

These figures suggest that while market activity has cooled, Calgary's overall home prices have remained relatively resilient.

Calgary Home Prices by Property Type – October 2026

One of the most important trends in Calgary's housing market is the difference in performance between property types.

Detached and semi-detached properties continue to demonstrate greater price stability, while apartment condominiums and townhouses face more competition and downward pricing pressure.

This is particularly important for buyers and sellers evaluating properties in Calgary's southeast communities, inner-city neighbourhoods, and growing suburban areas.

Detached Homes in Calgary Remain Relatively Stable

Calgary's detached housing market continues to show resilience despite slower sales activity.

In October 2026:

• 847 detached homes sold.

• The benchmark price was $735,100.

• Prices declined just 0.72% compared with October 2025.

• Inventory reached 2,832 homes.

• Months of supply stood at 3.34.

Detached home prices have held up considerably better than condominium and townhouse prices.

However, conditions vary across the city.

Calgary's City Centre and West districts have demonstrated stronger price performance, while the North East, North, and East districts have experienced more noticeable price adjustments.

What this means for buyers: There may be opportunities to negotiate, particularly on homes that have been listed for an extended period.

What this means for sellers: Well-presented detached homes that are priced appropriately can still attract serious buyers, but pricing based on previous peak market conditions may result in longer selling times.

For homeowners in communities such as Douglasdale, McKenzie Lake, Cranston, Auburn Bay, and Mahogany, understanding recent comparable sales within the specific neighbourhood is far more valuable than relying on Calgary-wide averages.

Calgary Condo Market – More Opportunities for Buyers

Calgary's apartment condominium market continues to experience some of the most significant price adjustments.

The October 2026 statistics show:

• Benchmark condominium price: $288,800

• Annual price decline: 7.94%

• Condominium sales: 320

• Active condominium listings: 1,691

• Months of supply: 5.28

Condominium prices are now approximately 15% below their August 2024 peak.

Several factors are contributing to this adjustment, including increased competition from newly constructed properties, greater rental housing availability, and slower demand for resale apartments.

Is Now a Good Time to Buy a Condo in Calgary?

For first-time homebuyers and investors, the current condominium market may present opportunities that were less common during Calgary's stronger seller's market.

Buyers may benefit from:

• A greater selection of available condominiums.

• More flexibility when negotiating purchase prices.

• Opportunities to include financing and inspection conditions.

• Potential value in properties that have experienced recent price reductions.

However, purchasing a condominium requires careful consideration of condominium fees, reserve fund health, building maintenance, insurance costs, and future resale potential.

Our perspective: A lower purchase price does not automatically make a condominium a better investment. Building quality, location, monthly carrying costs, and long-term ownership plans remain essential.

For those researching downtown Calgary condos, East Village, Beltline, or other inner-city condominium communities, comparing individual buildings and recent sales is particularly important.

Calgary Townhouse Market – Prices Continue to Adjust

Townhouses and row-style properties have also experienced downward price pressure.

October 2026 townhouse statistics include:

• Benchmark price: $407,500

• Annual price decline: 5.12%

• Total sales: 241

• Active listings: 1,069

• Months of supply: 4.44

Competition from newly built homes and an increase in rental housing options have contributed to softer demand for resale townhouses.

For buyers looking for more space than a traditional apartment condominium, townhouses may offer an attractive alternative.

Communities such as McKenzie Towne, Copperfield, New Brighton, Legacy, and Seton offer a variety of townhouse options across different price ranges.

Buyers should compare resale townhouses with available new construction, while also considering condominium fees, possession dates, warranties, and location.

For sellers, professional marketing, presentation, and accurate pricing are increasingly important when competing with both resale and newly constructed properties.

Calgary's Housing Inventory – Is It a Buyer's Market?

Calgary finished October with 6,173 active residential listings and 3.88 months of supply.

Months of supply measures how long it would take to sell the current inventory at the existing monthly sales pace, assuming no additional listings were added.

Although there is no universally applicable threshold, a higher number generally indicates more choice and negotiating power for buyers.

October's numbers reveal important differences:

Calgary's housing market is becoming more balanced overall, but certain segments are already offering buyers substantially more negotiating power.

What Does the October 2026 Calgary Market Mean for Homebuyers?

For buyers who have been waiting for Calgary's real estate market to become less competitive, current conditions may provide an opportunity.

Unlike the exceptionally competitive periods of recent years, some buyers now have more time to evaluate properties and negotiate terms.

Three important considerations stand out.

1. Property type matters. Buyers searching for condominiums and townhouses may find more negotiating flexibility than those shopping for detached homes in desirable neighbourhoods.

2. Neighbourhood-level pricing matters. A price decline in one Calgary district does not necessarily mean values are falling at the same rate in another.

3. Long-term affordability matters. Buyers should consider mortgage payments, property taxes, condominium fees where applicable, maintenance, and future resale potential rather than focusing exclusively on the purchase price.

Working with an experienced Calgary REALTOR® who understands local market conditions can help identify opportunities that may not be obvious from citywide statistics.

What Does the October 2026 Calgary Market Mean for Home Sellers?

For homeowners considering selling in Calgary, the market is becoming more price-sensitive.

Buyers generally have more choices, particularly in the condominium and townhouse segments.

Successful sellers should focus on three priorities:

Accurate pricing: Review recently sold comparable properties rather than relying on asking prices or historical market peaks.

Professional presentation: High-quality photography, effective staging, detailed property descriptions, and strong online marketing can help a listing stand out.

Targeted exposure: Reaching the right buyers through real estate websites, search engines, social media, and video marketing is increasingly important.

At Hanney Nelson Real Estate Group, we believe successful real estate marketing begins with understanding the individual property, its location, and the buyers most likely to be interested.

A well-developed marketing strategy can make a meaningful difference when buyers have multiple properties to choose from.

Southeast Calgary Real Estate – Why Local Market Knowledge Matters

Southeast Calgary continues to offer a broad range of housing options, from established family neighbourhoods to newer master-planned communities.

Popular communities include:

• Douglasdale and Douglas Glen: Established residential communities with access to parks, pathways, shopping, and major transportation routes.

• McKenzie Lake: A mature lake community offering a variety of detached homes and family-oriented amenities.

• McKenzie Towne: A community with diverse housing options, including detached homes, townhouses, and condominiums.

• Copperfield and New Brighton: Popular southeast neighbourhoods offering family housing across multiple price points.

• Cranston: A community known for its access to Fish Creek Provincial Park and the Bow River valley.

• Auburn Bay and Mahogany: Lake communities with recreational amenities and a range of housing options.

• Seton: A growing urban district with condominiums, townhouses, detached homes, shopping, recreation, and healthcare amenities.

While Calgary's overall benchmark price provides a useful starting point, each of these communities has its own inventory levels, buyer demand, and recent sales activity.

Important: The citywide October statistics do not establish that prices rose or fell by the same percentages in these individual neighbourhoods.

A community-specific market evaluation is the best way to understand what a particular home may be worth.

Calgary Real Estate Market Outlook – What to Expect Heading Into Winter 2026

As Calgary enters the final months of 2026, seasonal trends typically bring fewer new listings and lower transaction volumes.

The October statistics suggest several developments worth monitoring.

Detached and semi-detached housing prices have remained relatively stable, while apartment condominiums and townhouses continue to face greater supply-related challenges.

Calgary's inventory has also declined as winter approaches, which may help limit further pricing pressure in some market segments.

However, the direction of prices will continue to depend on buyer demand, borrowing costs, employment conditions, new construction, and the availability of resale properties.

Rather than assuming Calgary's entire market will rise or fall together, buyers and sellers should evaluate conditions by property type, neighbourhood, and price range.

Selling Single-Family Homes in Calgary in 2026: A Step-by-Step Guide

By Hanney Nelson Real Estate Group

Selling a single-family home in Calgary in 2026 comes down to five essential steps: price it using recent comparable sales, prepare it for buyers, market it professionally, evaluate offers carefully, and complete the sale with your real estate lawyer. Calgary's detached housing market remained balanced in September 2026, with 3.31 months of supply and a benchmark price of $739,400. Buyers are still active, but pricing and presentation can make a significant difference in your results.

What are the essential steps to sell a single-family home in Calgary?

Selling your home is more than putting a sign on the lawn and waiting for an offer. Calgary's market has changed from the exceptionally tight conditions of recent years, and sellers need a strategy that reflects what's happening in their specific neighbourhood and price range.

At Hanney Nelson Real Estate Group, we focus on helping sellers understand their home's market value, prepare for a successful launch, and negotiate terms that support their next move.

Key Takeaways

• Calgary recorded 896 detached home sales in September 2026, up approximately 4.4% from September 2025.

• The detached benchmark price was $739,400, down approximately 1% year over year. This represents a typical home, not the average selling price or an estimate of your property's value.

• Detached inventory stood at 2,968 homes, representing 3.31 months of supply and balanced market conditions.

• Calgary neighbourhoods are performing differently. Supply, pricing, and buyer competition vary considerably between the northeast, northwest, inner city, and west Calgary.

• The strongest offer isn't always the highest offer. Financing, conditions, deposit, and possession dates all matter.

• Alberta's closing process involves a real estate lawyer, mortgage payouts, adjustments, and applicable legal and registration fees.

How should you price a single-family home in Calgary in 2026?

Start with recent comparable sales in your community, not Calgary's overall benchmark price or an online home estimate. The right asking price depends on what buyers are willing to pay for homes like yours today.

What does the Calgary housing market look like right now?

The latest completed monthly figures provide a useful starting point.

These numbers tell us that Calgary's detached market remains active, with stronger sales than a year ago and slightly softer benchmark pricing.

What they don't tell us is how much your individual home is worth.

Why your Calgary neighbourhood matters more than the citywide average

A detached home in Tuscany competes with a different group of properties than one in Mahogany, Altadore, or Evanston. Even two homes within the same community can attract different buyers based on school access, renovations, lot size, garage configuration, and location.

District benchmark prices reflect different housing stock and locations.

In September, detached months of supply ranged from 2.73 in West Calgary to 5.61 in the North East. That difference can materially change how a seller should approach pricing, marketing, and negotiations.

Why overpricing can hurt your sale

The first few weeks of a listing are an important opportunity to attract qualified buyers.

When a home is priced above comparable properties, buyers may skip it, compare it unfavourably against better-priced alternatives, or wait for a reduction.

At Hanney Nelson Real Estate Group, we believe sellers should understand the numbers behind their pricing strategy. That means looking at recent sold properties, current competition, property condition, and how quickly similar homes are selling.

The goal isn't simply to list at the highest possible price. It's to position your home to achieve the strongest realistic outcome.

How do you prepare a Calgary home for sale?

Focus on the repairs, presentation, and maintenance items that make buyers feel confident about the property. You don't necessarily need a major renovation to improve your home's appeal.

What should you repair before listing?

Calgary buyers pay attention to a home's condition, particularly when it comes to expensive components.

Before listing, review:

• Roof and exterior: Look for hail damage, missing shingles, damaged siding, and deteriorating seals.

• Furnace and heating: Make sure heating equipment is working properly and service records are available.

• Windows and doors: Check for drafts, damaged seals, and condensation between panes.

• Foundation and drainage: Address visible water intrusion, grading problems, and concerning cracks.

• Plumbing and electrical: Repair leaks, faulty switches, and obvious deficiencies.

• Cosmetic condition: Touch up paint, repair damaged trim, replace burned-out bulbs, and clean thoroughly.

Calgary's weather makes exterior condition especially important. Hailstorms, freeze-thaw cycles, and rapid temperature changes can affect roofing, siding, concrete, and drainage systems.

If you know about a significant issue, discuss how to address and disclose it before listing.

Which improvements are worth making?

In many cases, relatively affordable improvements make more sense than large renovations immediately before selling.

Fresh neutral paint, professional cleaning, improved lighting, decluttering, and landscaping can help buyers focus on the home's best features.

A complete kitchen renovation might look appealing, but it may not recover its full cost through a higher sale price. Before committing to a major project, compare the renovation cost against the likely market response.

When is the best time to sell a house in Calgary?

Spring traditionally attracts strong buyer activity, but it also brings more competing listings.

Winter can create opportunities for sellers with well-maintained homes because there may be fewer alternatives available. Buyers who are actively searching during colder months may also have a specific reason or timeline for moving.

The best month depends on your neighbourhood, your property's condition, competing inventory, and your personal circumstances.

If you're considering selling in January or February rather than waiting until April or May, it's worth comparing both strategies before deciding.

How should you market a single-family home in Calgary?

Your online presentation needs to make buyers want to see the home in person.

Most buyers begin by browsing listings and comparing photographs, prices, floor plans, and property descriptions. A strong marketing plan should communicate what makes your property worth viewing.

Neighbourhood-focused marketing

Highlight relevant community amenities, parks, pathways, schools, transit connections, and lifestyle benefits without overstating them.

Your listing description should be clear and specific. Instead of relying on generic phrases like "must-see property," explain the features buyers will actually value.

How do you handle showings, inspections, and offers in Calgary?

Keep your home ready for showings, prepare for common inspection concerns, and compare every offer based on its complete terms.

What happens during a Calgary home inspection?

A buyer may include a home inspection condition in their offer. Inspectors typically assess accessible components such as the roof, structure, foundation, heating, electrical, and plumbing systems.

Calgary-specific concerns can include previous hail damage, attic insulation, basement moisture, grading and drainage, and evidence of movement or cracking.

Not every inspection finding is a major problem. Some issues are routine maintenance, while others may require professional assessment or negotiation.

Having receipts, permits where applicable, warranties, and maintenance records available can help answer buyers' questions.

How should you compare multiple offers?

Price matters, but the highest offer isn't automatically the best one.

For example, a slightly lower offer with strong financing and a possession date that works for your next purchase may be more attractive than a higher offer with greater uncertainty.

We help sellers look at the complete picture before deciding how to respond.

What if you're buying and selling at the same time?

Coordinating two transactions requires additional planning.

You'll need to consider whether your purchase depends on the sale of your current home, when sale proceeds become available, how possession dates align, and whether temporary financing is needed.

Working through these details early can reduce stress and help avoid rushed decisions.

What happens when you close on a house sale in Calgary?

Your real estate lawyer manages the legal transfer, mortgage payout, and distribution of sale proceeds. Understanding the costs before you list helps you plan your next move.

What costs should Calgary sellers expect?

Common selling expenses may include:

• Real estate brokerage fees, as agreed in your listing contract, plus applicable GST.

• Real estate lawyer fees and disbursements.

• Mortgage discharge costs and potential early payout penalties.

• Any required Real Property Report updates or compliance documentation.

• Property tax and other closing adjustments.

• Agreed repairs or other expenses negotiated as part of the sale.

Unlike Manitoba, Alberta does not have a traditional percentage-based provincial land-transfer tax. Alberta does charge land title registration fees and levies, typically associated with the buyer's title transfer and mortgage registration.

We recommend preparing an estimated seller net sheet before listing so you understand approximately how much equity you'll have available after the transaction.

Do you pay capital gains tax when selling your Calgary home?

If your property qualified as your principal residence throughout your ownership, the profit is generally exempt from capital gains tax.

However, you still need to report the sale to the Canada Revenue Agency. Different rules can apply to investment properties, rental use, or homes sold within a short ownership period.

Your accountant or tax advisor can confirm how the rules apply to your situation.

What mistakes should Calgary home sellers avoid?

The biggest mistakes are overpricing, ignoring competing listings, underpreparing the property, and making decisions without understanding the full financial picture.

1. Pricing based on the city's benchmark. The $739,400 detached benchmark isn't a valuation of your house. Comparable sales in your community are far more useful.

2. Ignoring neighbourhood conditions. A seller in West Calgary may face a very different competitive environment from someone in the North East.

3. Skipping important preparation. Buyers notice neglected maintenance, especially roofing, drainage, and major mechanical systems.

4. Waiting for spring without evaluating alternatives. Listing when competition is lower may be advantageous, depending on demand for your type of home.

5. Focusing only on offer price. Conditions, financing, possession, and buyer reliability affect the overall strength of an offer.

6. Not calculating net proceeds. Your sale price and the amount you take home are two different numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling a Home in Calgary

How do I price my single-family home in Calgary in 2026?

Start with recent sold comparables in your community, then account for square footage, lot size, condition, upgrades, and competing listings. Calgary's detached benchmark price was $739,400 in September 2026, but your home's market value could be significantly higher or lower.

How long does it take to sell a house in Calgary?

Detached homes averaged 38 days on market in September 2026, according to CREB® statistics. Some homes sell much faster, while others take longer depending on pricing, neighbourhood, condition, and buyer demand. That figure also doesn't include the full period between accepting an offer and closing.

Is Calgary a buyer's or seller's market in 2026?

As of September 2026, CREB® described Calgary's detached market as balanced, with 3.31 months of supply. However, conditions differ by district and price range. Row homes and apartment condominiums face more buyer-favorable conditions than detached properties.

Detached home sales improve in September+1

Should I renovate my Calgary home before selling?

Not necessarily. Fresh paint, cleaning, lighting, minor repairs, and landscaping can improve presentation without the expense of a major renovation. The decision should depend on your property's current condition and what comparable homes offer.

What should I expect during a Calgary home inspection?

Expect the inspector to review accessible structural, roofing, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical components. Calgary buyers may pay particular attention to hail damage, basement moisture, grading, foundation concerns, and heating systems.

Do sellers pay land-transfer tax in Alberta?

Alberta doesn't have a conventional provincial land-transfer tax, although land title registration fees and levies apply to relevant registrations. Buyers generally pay the costs associated with registering their purchase, while sellers have their own legal, mortgage, and transaction expenses.

Is winter a good time to sell a home in Calgary?

It can be. Winter often brings fewer competing listings, which may help a well-presented home stand out. However, the best timing depends on local inventory, buyer demand, and your personal moving plans.

Ready to plan your Calgary home sale?

Selling a single-family home in Calgary is about making the right decisions in the right order.

Price your home using real comparable sales. Prepare it to stand out. Market it professionally. Evaluate offers carefully. And make sure your sale supports your financial and moving goals.

With Calgary's detached market showing balanced conditions in September 2026, sellers still have opportunities to achieve strong results, but a neighbourhood-specific strategy matters more than broad market headlines.

At Hanney Nelson Real Estate Group, we'll help you understand your home's value, review your options, and develop a selling strategy built around your property and timeline.

How is the Seton real estate market in September 2026?

Quick answer: Seton is a balanced market leaning toward buyers for detached homes right now. The September 2026 benchmark price is $728,400, down 3.47% from a year ago. Five homes sold, there are 4.6 months of supply, and homes took an average of 47 days to sell at 97.4% of list price. Buyers have choice and room to negotiate, but homes are selling twice as fast as they did last fall.

If you own a home in Seton, or you're thinking about buying in this fast-growing SE Calgary community near the South Health Campus, here's the straight breakdown of what happened in September and what it means for you. All numbers below are for detached homes only.

Seton market stats at a glance: September 2026

Source: [add your stats source, e.g. CREB®], Seton detached homes, September 2026.

Seton home prices: what's really happening

Values have softened, but modestly. The benchmark price is the best measure of what a typical Seton detached home is worth, because it isn't skewed by which homes happened to sell that month. At $728,400, it's down 4.33% from August and 3.47% from last year. That's a real dip, not a crash.

Why the average and median look lower. The average sale price fell to $662,980 and the median to $645,000. With only 5 sales, one or two smaller homes can pull those numbers down fast. That's why the median dropped 8.57% year over year while the benchmark only slipped 3.47%.

The takeaway: Both the average and median sit $65,000 to $85,000 below the benchmark. That means September's sales leaned toward smaller or entry-level homes, not that every Seton home lost that much value. Always look at the benchmark first.

Is Seton a buyer's or seller's market?

It's balanced, tilting toward buyers. Two numbers tell the story:

• Months of supply: 4.6. If no new listings came on, it would take about four and a half months to sell everything available. Under 2 months usually favours sellers, 2 to 4 months is balanced, and over 4 starts to favour buyers.

• Sales-to-new-listings ratio: 45.45%. Roughly 5 homes sold for every 11 that hit the market. Between 40% and 60% is generally considered balanced.

What changed from August: Sales held at 5, but inventory dropped 32.35% to 23 homes and months of supply fell from 6.8 to 4.6. Fewer sellers listing (11 new listings, down from 12) is tightening supply heading into fall.

What changed from last year: Sales are down from 8 to 5, but new listings are down even more (35.29%) and inventory is down 23.33%. Months of supply is higher than last September (4.6 vs. about 3.75), so buyers still have a bit more leverage than a year ago.

Homes are selling much faster. Average days on market is 47, down 51.04% from 96 days last September and down 27.69% from August. Well-priced Seton homes are moving.

What this means for Seton sellers

• Price it right from day one. Homes sold for 97.4% of list price on average. On a $700,000 listing, that's about $18,000 of negotiating room. Overpriced homes are the ones sitting well past 47 days.

• You're competing with newer homes. Seton still has builders selling new product. Clean, staged, well-photographed resale homes need to stand out against show homes.

• Less competition from other resale listings. Inventory is down 23.33% from last year and 32.35% from August. If your home is priced and prepped properly, you're not fighting a flood of supply.

• Plan for a 6 to 8 week timeline. That's faster than last fall, but not the quick weekend sales of a hot spring market.

What this means for Seton buyers

• You have options and time. At 4.6 months of supply, you're rarely racing multiple offers.

• There's room to negotiate. Sellers are accepting about 2.6% under list on average. Conditions like financing and inspection are on the table.

• Prices are lower than last year. The benchmark is down 3.47% year over year, so you're buying in below last fall's level.

• Don't wait too long. Inventory is shrinking and homes are selling twice as fast as last year. Fall still gives you better terms than spring will.

Douglasdale/Glen home prices: what's really happening

Values are holding steady. The benchmark price is the best measure of what a typical Douglasdale/Glen detached home is worth, because it isn't skewed by which homes happened to sell that month. At $723,200, it's down less than 1% from August and under 2% from last year. That's a small dip, not a drop.

Why the average price looks scarier than it is. The average sale price fell 15.54% from August to $639,125. With only 8 sales, a few lower-priced homes changing hands can pull that number down fast. The median price ($648,000) is actually up 0.27% from last September, which tells you prices are flat year over year, not falling off a cliff.

The takeaway: Both the average and median are well below the benchmark. That means September's sales leaned toward smaller or older homes, not that every home in the community lost $80,000 in value. Always look at the benchmark first.

Is Douglasdale/Glen a buyer's or seller's market?

It's a balanced market. Two numbers tell the story:

• Months of supply: 3.13. If no new listings came on, it would take just over three months to sell everything available. Under 2 months usually favours sellers, 2 to 4 months is balanced, and over 4 starts to favour buyers.

• Sales-to-new-listings ratio: 44.44%. Roughly 4 homes sold for every 9 that hit the market. Between 40% and 60% is generally considered balanced.

What changed from August: August was hot, with 17 sales and an 80.95% sales-to-new-listings ratio. September cooled off sharply: sales fell to 8, inventory climbed 31.58% to 25 homes, and months of supply nearly tripled from about 1.1 to 3.13. Part of that is the normal fall slowdown after the summer rush.

What changed from last year: Sales (8) and inventory (25) are identical to September 2025. But new listings are down 21.74%, so fewer sellers are coming to market, and demand relative to supply is actually stronger than last fall (44.44% vs. 34.78%).

Homes are taking longer to sell. Average days on market is 31, up 72.22% from last September and up 14.81% from August. Buyers are taking their time, comparing options and negotiating.

What this means for Douglasdale/Glen sellers

• Price it right from day one. Homes sold for 96.88% of list price on average, down from 98.29% in August. On a $700,000 listing, that's about $22,000 of negotiating room. Overpriced homes are the ones sitting past 31 days.

• Presentation matters again. With 25 homes to choose from, buyers are comparing. Clean, staged, well-photographed homes win.

• Less competition from new listings. New listings are down 21.74% from last year. If your home is priced and prepped properly, you're not fighting a flood of supply.

• Plan for a slightly longer timeline. Budget for 4 to 6 weeks to sell, not the quick weekend sales we saw in spring and summer.

What this means for Douglasdale/Glen buyers

• You have options and time. Inventory is up 31.58% from August, and you're no longer racing multiple offers on every home.

• There's room to negotiate. Sellers are accepting about 3% under list on average. Conditions like financing and inspection are back on the table.

• Values are stable. The benchmark is down less than 2% year over year, so you're buying into a steady market, not a falling one.

• Fall is a smart time to buy. Less competition now usually means better terms than you'll get when spring buyers return.

Calgary's September 2026 Market in 30 Seconds

How is Calgary's real estate market doing in September 2026? Calgary's market is stable overall but split by property type. Sales reached 1,650 homes, about 4% below September 2025, while the benchmark price held at $566,700, down less than 1% year over year. Detached homes remain balanced, while apartments and townhomes are leaning toward a buyer's market.

September 2026 Calgary Housing Stats at a Glance

Sales held steady with August instead of following the usual September dip, thanks to stronger detached sales. New listings rose month over month, pushing the sales-to-new-listings ratio down to 49%. Inventory and months of supply were essentially unchanged from August.

Detached Homes vs. Condos and Townhomes

Market conditions in Calgary depend heavily on what you're buying or selling.

• Detached homes: Balanced market. More new listings in September helped lift detached sales.

• Apartments and row homes: Buyer's market. Extra supply, plus competition from rentals and new construction, gives buyers more choice.

Why the split? According to CREB® Chief Economist Ann-Marie Lurie, the past three years of construction focused mainly on apartments and townhomes, while detached building didn't keep pace. Job growth and steady migration are still absorbing some new supply, but not enough to offset all the higher-density units added.

Calgary Home Prices: What Changed

Prices are holding steady once seasonal patterns are factored out. The unadjusted benchmark of $566,700 is just under 1% below last year, and seasonally adjusted prices were relatively flat compared with August.

Detached price softness is concentrated in the North East, East and North districts.

What This Means for You

• Buyers: Apartments and townhomes offer the most negotiating room and selection right now. Detached homes are competitive but not frantic.

• Sellers: Detached homes in well-located communities are still selling. Condo and townhome sellers should price sharply and present the home well to stand out.

Eman is a determined, energetic, and dedicated REALTOR® who genuinely enjoys what she does—and, most importantly, the people she gets to meet along the way.

For Eman, real estate has always been about more than buying or selling a home. It’s about understanding people, listening to what matters to them, and being there throughout the process. She takes pride in paying attention to the details, staying involved, and making sure her clients always feel informed, comfortable, and confident in the decisions they’re making.

Eman has built strong relationships throughout her career, both with her clients and with REALTORS® and other professionals in the industry. She believes that being approachable, respectful, honest, and easy to work with makes a real difference. Many of the relationships she has developed through real estate have continued long after a transaction has been completed, and those lasting connections are something she values deeply.

Her dedication and hard work have been recognized with achievements including the President’s Gold Award and Top Producer. While she is proud of these accomplishments, they have also motivated her to keep pushing herself. Eman is always looking for ways to learn more, understand the market better, and improve the experience she provides to her clients. She embraces the fact that real estate is constantly changing and enjoys staying ahead of those changes.

At the end of the day, Eman simply cares about doing things properly. She brings her personality, energy, honesty, attention to detail, and strong work ethic to every client and every transaction. She is grateful for the trust her clients place in her and for the opportunity to be part of some of the biggest decisions and milestones in their lives.

For Eman, the greatest compliment isn’t simply a successful transaction—it’s when a client continues to stay in touch, refers a friend or family member, or becomes a relationship that lasts for years.

What This Means for Sellers

The local market is not simply about whether prices are rising or falling. The relationship between sales, new listings and inventory is equally important. In July, sales increased sharply while new listings declined, pushing supply lower. Detached homes were especially tight, with 16 sales, 20 homes in inventory and only 1.25 months of supply. That is a stronger negotiating position for sellers than the broader market numbers alone might suggest.

The Seller Opportunity in Douglasdale-Glen

The total residential benchmark price was $632,600 in July, down 5.1% year-over-year. Detached benchmark pricing was $726,100, down only 2.5%. While prices have adjusted from earlier highs, the detached segment continues to show relative strength. For homeowners thinking about making a move, this is a market where pricing strategy matters. Buyers have more choice than during the most aggressive seller markets, but the amount of competing inventory has tightened compared with last summer. July also produced a meaningful improvement in sales activity. Year-to-date Douglasdale-Glen sales reached 138, up 12%, while year-to-date new listings were 203, down 7%. That combination points to active buyers meeting a more limited supply of homes. If you're considering selling, the goal should not be to chase a headline price. The goal is to position your home against today's competition, create strong early buyer interest, and use the current supply conditions to your advantage.

Thinking About Selling in Douglasdale or Douglasglen?

If you've been thinking about making a move, the first step is understanding what your home could realistically sell for in today's market—and what you could expect to net after selling costs. A property-specific evaluation can look at recent comparable sales, current competing listings, your home's condition and buyer demand for your particular property type. From there, you can decide whether to sell now, prepare for later, or make a move while the market is more favorable for your next purchase.
