What is the current Calgary real estate benchmark price?

In April 2026, the Calgary total residential benchmark price was $568,800 — down approximately 3% year-over-year from April 2025 but up 0.6% from March 2026. Detached homes benchmarked at $745,000+, while apartment condos averaged near $330,000. Data from CREB's May 1, 2026 release.

How often does CREB release Calgary real estate data?

The Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB) releases its monthly residential market statistics on the first business day of each month, covering the prior month's sales activity. KARAKTER Realty publishes a market analysis within 3–5 business days of each CREB release.

What months of supply indicate a balanced Calgary market?

In Calgary, a market is generally considered balanced at 2.5–4 months of supply. Below 2.5 months favours sellers (upward price pressure); above 4 months favours buyers (price negotiating room). April 2026 showed approximately 3.1 months of supply across all residential types.

Detached benchmark (April 2026): $745,100 — YoY +4.1%. Detached continues to outperform other types driven by constrained supply in established communities.
Apartment condo benchmark: $332,500 — YoY −5.2%. Oversupply in the apartment segment continues to weigh on benchmark prices.
Sales volume (April 2026): 2,104 sales — down 3.8% from April 2025. Trade-related economic uncertainty is dampening discretionary moves.
Months of supply: 3.1 months across all residential types. Balanced market territory. Detached supply in established SW/NW communities remains tighter at ~2.2 months.
Days on market (median): 24 days across all types. Well-priced detached in desirable communities moving in 10–18 days; overpriced listings stalling at 40+ days.

About these reports

KARAKTER Realty publishes a Calgary market report within the first week of each month, following the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB) monthly data release. Each report covers:

Total residential and per-type benchmark prices with year-over-year changes
Sales volume, new listings, and months of supply
District-level breakdown (City Centre, North, NW, NE, SW, SE, West)
Days on market and sale-to-list ratio trends
What the data means specifically for buyers, sellers, and life-event clients (divorce sales, estate sales, upsizing)

Data is sourced from CREB (Calgary Real Estate Board) monthly statistical releases. Ryan Van Spengen applies local market context — neighbourhood-level dynamics, buyer behaviour, and life-event transaction nuance — that raw statistics alone don't capture.
