Home sales in Calgary decreased by 15.3 percent in October 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, according to data released by the Calgary Real Estate Board. The residential benchmark price experienced a slight 0.4 percent decline, settling at $564,200. Ann-Marie Lurie, the board's chief economist, attributed significant pricing pressure to an oversupply of high-density housing, noting that apartment-style homes saw a 7.9 percent year-over-year price drop. In contrast, detached and semi-detached housing markets remained relatively stable, with detached prices dipping slightly and semi-detached prices rising marginally. New listings on the market fell by 9.4 percent year-over-year, resulting in a total inventory of 6,173 homes for sale.
