A third straight monthly gain, inventory growth down to almost nothing, and detached homes selling in a month.
In April 2026, Calgary’s benchmark home price was $567,700 — up 0.6% from March, a third consecutive gain, and 3.6% below April 2025. Sales rose 11.9% on the month to 2,101, down only 5.8% year-over-year. Inventory of 5,974 homes was just 1.8% above last April as new listings fell 5.2%. Supply was 2.8 months and a typical home took 35 days to sell. Apartment condos remained soft at $301,400, down 8.9% year-over-year with 4.4 months of supply.

A look by property type

| Semi-detached | $687,200 | ▼ -0.2% | 214 | 38 | 2.5 |

Demand and supply converging
Sales down 5.8% year-over-year and inventory up 1.8% is close to a market in equilibrium. Compare with April 2025, when sales were down 22.4% and inventory up 116.1%.
The gap between those two Aprils shows how far the market has travelled. Calgary spent 2025 absorbing a wave of supply; by spring 2026 that wave had been absorbed, and the two sides of the market were moving roughly in step.
Prices recovering, but still below last year
Up 2.6% from the January low of $553,400, but still 3.6% below April 2025 and 6.2% below the June 2024 peak of $605,300.
For anyone who bought near the peak, that gap remains. For anyone buying now, the practical reading is that the discount relative to 2024 is real but narrowing at roughly half a percent a month.
The condo market is a separate conversation
Apartment condos at $301,400 were down 8.9% year-over-year with 4.4 months of supply and 47 days on market. Row homes at $423,500 were down 6.9% with 2.9 months.
Condos have now fallen for roughly twenty months and sit about 11.7% below the August 2024 peak. That segment remains a buyer’s market in a city that overall no longer is — the single biggest divergence in Calgary’s current data.
What this meant if you were buying
April was a reasonable month to act rather than wait, particularly for detached housing at 2.3 months of supply and 30 days on market. Three consecutive price gains and flat inventory is not a combination that usually favours patience.
For condo buyers the opposite still held. At 4.4 months of supply and nearly 11.7% below peak, there was time to be selective — and with 47 days on market, room to negotiate on price and to keep every condition in the offer.
