Calgary's housing market found a steadier footing in June. Sales picked up from May, prices held firm across most of the market, and the gap between buyers and sellers continued to narrow. The clearest story this month sits in the apartment condominium segment, where a wave of new supply is pulling prices lower even as other property types hold their ground.
Here is what the numbers from the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB) show, using benchmark pricing, which reflects the value of a typical home rather than the mix of what happened to sell.
There were 2,197 sales in June, close to four per cent below the same month last year (2,284). That is a modest pullback rather than a sharp drop, and it came alongside a small easing in new listings, which lifted the sales to new listings ratio to 56 per cent.
Active listings sat at 6,799, about two per cent lower than a year ago. With months of supply at 3.09, the city as a whole is in balanced territory. That headline number hides a real split by property type, and that split is where the interesting movement is happening.
The total residential benchmark price in June was $572,500, easing roughly two per cent from a year earlier. Underneath that citywide figure, the four property types are moving in different directions.

Detached homes remained the anchor. The detached benchmark rose over May to $750,500, sitting only about one per cent below last year's level. Limited supply choice in this segment continues to support prices.

Semi detached homes held steady at a benchmark of $694,600, essentially flat compared with a year ago.

Row homes came in at $424,100, about six per cent lower than last June, as supply in this segment has climbed.

Apartment condominiums told the softest story. The benchmark price of $299,000 was roughly nine per cent below last year. With months of supply nearing five, apartment conditions favour buyers, and the added choice from the new build and rental markets is keeping downward pressure on prices.
For sellers, the takeaway is that the market rewards the right pricing and the right segment. Detached and semi detached owners are operating in tighter, more balanced conditions where well presented homes continue to move. Row and apartment sellers are competing against more inventory, so pricing to the current market matters more than ever.
For buyers, the apartment segment offers the most negotiating room in years, with more selection and softer prices. Buyers focused on detached homes should expect firmer conditions and less room to negotiate, especially in higher demand districts.
Through the first half of 2026, Calgary has recorded 11,092 sales, down about eleven per cent from the same period last year, against 20,912 new listings. The year to date benchmark price sits at $564,483, roughly four per cent below last year, and homes are taking a little longer to sell, with days on market at 38 compared with 32 a year ago. Taken together, the picture is a market that has shifted from the rapid pace of recent years to something calmer and more balanced.
