Calgary Housing Market Update – August 2025

Calgary, Alberta – Based on the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®) August 2025 report, the housing market continued its shift toward more balanced conditions amid rising supply and moderating prices.

📉 Market Snapshot

  • Total residential benchmark price reached $577,200, a 4.1% decline year-over-year and down ~1.0% month-over-month, reflecting softer market dynamics (CREB®).

  • Sales dropped 8.8% YoY to 1,989 units, yet remained above long-term trends, indicating sustained demand (CREB®).

  • New listings numbered 3,478, down 1.7% YoY, while active listings surged 48% YoY to 6,661 units—the highest August inventory since 2019 (CREB®).

  • The Sales-to-New-Listings Ratio was 57%, placing the market firmly in balanced territory (40–60%).

  • Months of supply rose to approximately 3.35 months, signaling a shift away from the ultra-tight seller’s market of recent years.

🏘️ Property Type Breakdown

Property TypeBenchmark PriceYear-Over-Year ChangeMonths of Supply
Detached$755,600−0.9%~3.1
Semi-Detached$687,200+0.9%~2.6
Row/Townhouse$439,600−4.8%~3.3–3.4
Apartment Condo$326,500−5.8%~4.4
  • Detached & semi-detached homes remain relatively stable, with modest price changes.

  • Row and apartment-style homes face softer conditions due to increased supply and new-build competition.

🏙️ Regional Insights

CREB® Chief Economist Ann-Marie Lurie noted that declines are not uniform across the city, with some districts still holding steady despite broader downward pressure. Elevated supply is driving price adjustments, particularly in the apartment and row segments.


✅ What This Means for You

For Buyers

  • Increased inventory means more options and negotiating power.

  • Apartment and row sectors currently offer the best opportunities.

For Sellers

  • Detached and semi-detached homes still show balanced conditions, but pricing and presentation are key.

  • Apartment and row sellers should focus on marketing, staging, and competitive pricing to attract buyers.
