Tom Albrecht breaks down the latest Calgary housing numbers
Alberta’s economy continues to stand out. According to ATB Financial, Alberta’s growth is expected to outpace other provinces in the coming years. That’s welcome news for households, investors, and our real estate market.
But what does this mean for Calgary homeowners and buyers right now?
As highlighted in our recent Global News feature, Calgary’s market has shifted into a more balanced phase:
-
Sales dipped about 9% year-over-year in August.
-
Benchmark prices are down roughly 4%.
-
Inventory is higher, not from new listings, but because homes are taking longer to sell.
This is not the overheated market of the past few years, nor is it a distressed buyer’s market. Instead, it’s healthier. Sellers need to be precise with pricing and ensure strong marketing. Buyers now have more breathing room — often 2–4 months — to make smart, informed decisions.
