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.

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 seriously.

What is Radon and Why is it High in Calgary?

Radon is a radioactive, invisible, and odorless gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. Because Calgary sits on soil rich in uranium and we seal our homes tightly against the cold…

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.

The 2025 Retrospective: The "Deep Breath"

We entered 2025 with questions about inventory and interest rates. We leave it with answers.

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?"

As we head into December 2025, the Calgary real estate market is following a familiar seasonal script: the weather is cooling down, and so is the pace of sales. However, looking beyond the typical winter slowdown, the November numbers reveal a market that is finding its footing after a busy year.

According to the latest data from CREB®, conditions in Calgary remain relatively balanced. While sales and new listings have slowed in line with seasonal trends, inventory levels are creating some interesting opportunities for buyers, particularly in specific property sectors.

Here is our breakdown of what happened in November and what it means for you.
