Overall Calgary Market — Tight, Focused, and Still Moving

Calgary finishes the year exactly how it started: tight inventory and steady demand. With 4,428 active listings and 1,448 sales in the past 30 days, the market sits at 3.1 months of supply — still seller-leaning, even with December in full swing.

The action remains concentrated in the $400K–$800K range, where most buyers are active and pricing discipline matters. Detached homes dominate supply and sales, condos provide volume and choice, and townhomes continue to quietly outperform expectations.

December hasn’t slowed the market — it’s simply filtered out the tire-kickers. The buyers still shopping now are serious, funded, and decisive.

Detached Homes — Still the Backbone of the Market

Detached homes continue to carry the Calgary market on their shoulders. With 1,813 active listings and 764 sold in the past 30 days, detached homes posted a 42% absorption rate, one of the strongest segments in the city.

The $500K–$700K range remains the engine room, with 352 sales in just 30 days. Even higher price points are moving: homes between $900K–$1.5M are selling at rates that would surprise anyone expecting a winter slowdown.

Bottom line: land still matters, and buyers know it. Well-priced detached homes don’t wait for spring — they sell now.

Condo Market — Selection Is High, Pricing Is Everything

Condos remain the most price-sensitive segment of the market. With 1,431 active listings and 324 sales, condos posted a 23% absorption rate, giving buyers plenty of choice — and leverage.

The strongest demand sits below $400K, particularly in the $200K–$300K range, which continues to be the condo workhorse. Above $500K, pricing has to be sharp or listings stall.

This is a thinking buyer’s market: the best deals are the condos priced within — or below — their realistic value range. The rest are just inventory.

Townhomes — The Quiet Overachiever

Townhomes continue to punch above their weight. With 740 active listings and 233 sales, the segment delivered a 31% absorption rate, outperforming condos and holding its own against detached homes.

The sweet spot is crystal clear: $300K–$500K, where affordability meets livability. Buyers priced out of detached homes are landing here — and staying.

Townhomes remain Calgary’s pressure valve: when detached prices stretch, townhomes quietly absorb the demand.

What This Time of Year Means for Buyers, Sellers, and Investors

Buyers:
December is when preparation pays off. Fewer competitors, more motivated sellers, and better negotiating positions — if you know your numbers. The best buys don’t advertise themselves; they reveal themselves in the data.

Sellers:
Your buyer pool is smaller, but far more serious. Price it right, present it cleanly, and you’ll sell. Miss the mark, and you’re paying carrying costs while waiting for spring optimism to do the heavy lifting.

Investors:
This is recon season. The investors who win in spring are the ones analyzing absorption rates, price ranges, and outliers now. The best opportunities are already showing themselves — quietly.
