January 2026 Calgary Housing Market Update

January is rarely the most exciting month in real estate. It never has been. But what January tells us — if you know how to read it — is something worth paying attention to. This year, the opening month arrived with more inventory, slower high-density sales, and benchmark prices that are lower than where we started 2025. That sounds like a lot. And yet, when you look at the seasonally adjusted figures, prices are actually holding steady relative to where December left off.

That distinction matters. It's the difference between a market in decline and a market that's finding its level.

What Everyone Gets Wrong About Calgary’s Housing Market | April 2025 Update

At first glance, the April numbers might make you think Calgary’s housing market is slowing down—or even heading for a downturn. But that’s only half the story. While sales are down compared to last year, the shift we’re seeing isn’t a collapse—it’s a correction.

According to the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®), activity is returning to seasonal norms, and months of supply just hit its highest level in over a year, bringing long-overdue balance back to the market. For buyers and sellers, that means a new kind of strategy—and a very different kind of market than what we’ve seen over the past four years.

Calgary's real estate market is continuing its shift in 2025, balancing out from the high-paced, ultra-competitive environment we saw in recent years. With more inventory, easing sales, and steadier price growth, we’re seeing a market that gives buyers a bit more breathing room while still offering strong value for sellers who price right. February 2025 saw higher inventory levels, stabilizing home prices, and continued demand, though at a more sustainable pace than previous years.

If you're buying or selling in Calgary, understanding these trends will help you make smarter, more confident real estate decisions.

As a Calgary home buyer or homeowner, you’ve likely come across two key terms when researching properties: property tax assessment and real estate market value. While they may seem similar, they serve very different purposes—and misunderstanding the difference can lead to costly mistakes.

In my 18 years as a Calgary REALTOR®, I’ve met many clients who assumed their home’s tax assessment reflected its actual market value. However, that’s not always the case.

For example, I worked with a seller whose tax assessment was much higher than the true market value. They assumed they could list at that price. After we did a detailed market analysis, they adjusted their expectations, priced competitively, and sold within a reasonable timeframe—instead of…
