If you are skimming the news headlines about the Calgary housing market this July, you might walk away thinking that local real estate is slowing down. The broad city statistics show sales dipping by 4% compared to last year, with overall prices adjusting down by 2%.

But here is what the mainstream media is missing: those drops are almost entirely driven by an oversupply of apartment condominiums. When you strip away the high-density condo data and look exclusively at single-family detached homes in West, South, and Southeast Calgary, you discover a market that is aggressively defying the city-wide trend. In fact, select local pockets are actively hitting brand-new record highs right now.

If you have been reading the headlines this June, you might think the Calgary real estate market is quietly going to sleep for the summer. With rising inventory and slower sales city-wide, the overall market is definitely shifting into a more balanced, relaxed pace.

But as always, sweeping city-wide averages don't tell the whole story. If you look closely at the latest May 2026 data from the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®), there is a massive hidden success story happening right in our backyard: the semi-detached (duplex) market in West and North West Calgary.

Here is why this specific property type is breaking records, and what you need to know if you are buying or selling this summer.

The spring market has officially sprung, and the April 2026 numbers from the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB) show a city in transition. Overall, Calgary is shifting away from the frantic seller's market we've seen in recent years toward more balanced, predictable conditions.

However, if you are looking to buy or sell a detached home in South, Southwest, or West Calgary, you are dealing with a completely different reality.

While city-wide inventory is improving and apartment condos have firmly entered a buyer's market, the detached housing segment in our most desirable quadrants remains highly competitive. Here is exactly what is happening in the Calgary real estate market right now.

The latest data from the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB) for February 2026 paints a fascinating picture of our city's housing market. If we had to summarize it in one phrase, it would be "a tale of two markets."

While apartment-style properties are currently dealing with excess supply, the detached and semi-detached home segments are the clear frontrunners, experiencing the tightest conditions and leading the charge in market performance.

Here is a breakdown of why lower-density homes are the hottest commodity in Calgary right now, and what it means for your buying or selling strategy.

Update (March 2026): We have updated this guide to include the latest 2026 Calgary radon mitigation pricing. Additionally, please read our urgent new section regarding recently recalled digital radon detectors to ensure your home's readings are accurate.

Living in Calgary comes with many perks - proximity to the mountains, sunny winters, and vibrant communities. But it also comes with a hidden geological risk that many homeowners overlook: Radon gas.

If you think this is just an isolated minor issue, think again. In July 2025, I discovered my own home was testing at 400 Bq/m³ - double the Health Canada limit. Here is my personal journey of mitigating radon in Calgary, what it cost, and why every homeowner in Alberta needs to take this…

As we wrap up December 2025 and look toward the new year, the feeling in the Calgary real estate market is distinctly different from where we started.

If 2022 and 2023 were defined by "frenzy," and 2024 was a year of "adjustment," then 2025 was the year Calgary found its balance.

For those of us living and working in established SE communities like Lake Bonavista and Willow Park, this year brought a welcome return to normalcy—but "normal" has a new definition. Here is our summary of what happened in 2025, and our expert outlook for what homeowners can expect in 2026.

As our lives become increasingly mobile and landlines fade into history, reliable cellular coverage is no longer a luxury—it’s a utility as vital as electricity. For Calgary homeowners and buyers, specifically, the strength of a signal can make or break a purchase. Whether you are working from a home office in Seton or streaming movies in a basement suite in Varsity, you need to know where your signal is coming from.

Canadian providers are aggressively expanding their 5G networks, with carriers like Telus, Bell, Rogers, and Freedom Mobile competing for the best coverage across the city. But coverage varies wildly from neighborhood to neighborhood.

Many of our clients ask: "How do I find a map of cell towers near my potential new home?"
