Overall Calgary Market — Tight Enough to Matter
This week’s numbers show 4,042 active listings and 1,276 sales in the last 30 days, which puts the overall market at 3.2 months of supply. That’s still a seller-leaning environment, even at year-end.
The market is clearly anchored in the $400K–$700K price ranges, where the majority of both listings and sales occur. Demand hasn’t disappeared — it’s just more selective. Homes priced properly are moving. Homes priced “optimistically” are learning patience the hard way.
Detached Homes — Carrying the Market
Detached homes remain the backbone of Calgary real estate. With 1,636 active listings and 670 sold, the detached market is running at a 41% absorption rate and only 2.4 months of supply.
The strongest activity is concentrated between $400K and $600K, where more than half of listings sold in the past 30 days. Even above $900K, sales are still happening at a healthy pace. Buyers clearly value land and flexibility, and they’re willing to act when pricing lines up with reality.
Condo Market — Selection Is High, Competition Is Not
Condos continue to offer buyers the most choice. There are 1,325 active condo listings and 302 sold, translating to a 23% absorption rate and 4.4 months of supply.
The most active condo price ranges remain $100K–$300K, which account for the largest share of both listings and sales. Higher price brackets require sharper pricing to generate movement. This is a market where buyers can be selective — and sellers need to be realistic.
Townhomes — The Practical Middle Ground
Townhomes quietly continue to perform well. With 677 active listings and 203 sales, the townhome market sits at a 30% absorption rate and 3.3 months of supply.
Demand is strongest between $200K and $500K, where roughly one in three listings sold in the past 30 days. Townhomes remain a logical step-up option for buyers priced out of detached homes but still wanting space, functionality, and value.
What This Time of Year Means for Buyers, Sellers, and Investors
Late December doesn’t slow the market — it filters it.
Buyers:
Less competition, clearer signals, and motivated sellers. If you know your numbers, this is one of the best windows of the year to act.
Sellers:
Your audience is smaller but serious. Price correctly and present well, or wait — but waiting has a cost.
Investors:
This is prime scouting season. Watch absorption rates, focus on price ranges that actually move, and look for properties that sit outside the norm. The best opportunities are usually found when fewer people are paying attention.
