Frequently Asked Questions About Detached Homes in Calgary
Why do you use benchmark prices instead of average prices?
At the Marnie Campbell Real Estate Team, we believe in giving you the clearest picture possible. That’s why we use benchmark prices—they reflect the typical home in a community based on size, location, and features. Unlike average prices, which can be skewed by one or two luxury sales or fixer-uppers, benchmark prices help you compare neighbourhoods more accurately and make smarter buying decisions.
What is a detached home?
A detached home is a standalone house—it doesn’t share any walls with another property. It usually comes with its own yard, garage, and more space both inside and out. If privacy and room to grow are on your list, a detached home might be the perfect fit.
Are detached homes more expensive than condos or townhomes?
Typically, yes. Detached homes often come with larger lots, more living space, and no shared walls—which makes them more valuable. But the long-term benefits like flexibility, resale value, and lifestyle freedom often make it worth the investment.
What are the benefits of buying a detached home in Calgary?
Detached homes give you more of what matters:
- Your own space—inside and out
- More control over renovations and upgrades
- Room for a growing family or pets
- Strong resale value in many Calgary neighbourhoods
If you're dreaming of a backyard, garage, or extra bedroom, a detached home might be the way to go.
How much should I budget for a detached home in 2025?
That depends on the community. In Q1 2025, benchmark prices range from under $500,000 in neighbourhoods like Abbeydale and Castleridge to over $2 million in places like Britannia and Elbow Park. Our map above gives you a great place to start—then we can help you explore options that fit your lifestyle and budget.
Will I need a bigger down payment for a detached home?
Not always—but it depends on the price range. Because detached homes tend to cost more, your down payment might be higher. We always recommend getting pre-approved first so you know exactly what your buying power looks like.
