Calgary housing market 2026

If you’ve been hearing that the Calgary housing market in 2026 is “crazy,” “cooling,” or “about to explode,” congrats. You’ve heard everything and nothing at the same time.

Here’s the real story.

As of 2026, Calgary continues to stand out compared to other major Canadian cities. We’re seeing average home price of $560,000 - $577,000, with inventory sitting around 3.4 to 3.6 months months of inventory. Translation. Homes are still moving, but buyers have more breathing room than they did a year or two ago. Sellers can still win, but pricing and strategy actually matter again. Imagine that.

For first time buyers, this is quietly one of the best windows we’ve seen in a while. Prices are still reasonable by big-city standards, steady interest rates and there are real opportunities if you know where to look. I spend a lot of time helping first time buyers avoid overpaying, overbidding, or buying something they’ll regret once the excitement wears off. No pressure, no panic, just numbers and common sense.

For sellers, the days of throwing a sign on the lawn and hoping for 20 offers are gone. That’s not bad news. It just means smart prep, sharp pricing, and proper exposure matter. My job is to make sure your home stands out and sells for what it should, not what your neighbour’s cousin thinks it’s worth.

If you’re relocating to Calgary, welcome. You’re not alone. I help families and professionals move here every month and get settled fast. Community guidance, school zones, commute times, resale value. All the stuff Google can’t really explain properly.
