DETACHED  HOMES MARKET TIGHTENS

Calgary’s housing market continued to vary by property type in February. Detached and semi-detached homes remained the tightest segments, each under three months of supply, while row homes were balanced. Apartment-style properties continued to favour buyers due to rising supply. Record apartment construction — nearly 18,000 units underway — combined with slower migration, is increasing pressure on the condo market. Citywide conditions remained balanced at three months of supply and a 55% sales-to-new-listings ratio. Inventory reached 4,822 units, while sales totalled 1,526, down 11% year over year. The total residential benchmark price rose 1% from January to $560,500, but remains 4% below last year.

Detached

The detached sector remained balanced in February with nearly three months of supply. While the benchmark price of $734,300 is 3% lower than last year, it rose 1% from January. Market conditions vary significantly by district; the West remains the tightest with under two months of supply, while the North East struggles with excess inventory.

Semi-Detached

The market is currently the tightest segment with only 2.4 months of supply. This high demand pushed the benchmark price to $682,200, a 2% monthly increase that brings prices back in line with last year. Gains in the City Centre and West districts are currently offsetting declines in most other areas of the city.

Row

Row housing saw a sales rebound in February, helping reduce supply to just over three months. The benchmark price rose to $423,600, following typical seasonal trends. However, prices remain 5% lower than last year, with the North East and East districts seeing the sharpest annual declines of over 10%.

Apartment

The apartment sector continues to face oversupply, with inventory levels keeping supply well over four months. This persistent surplus pushed the benchmark price down to $298,600, nearly 1% lower than January and 9% below last year. The North East is particularly constrained, with over 11 months of supply, which is weighing heavily on prices across all districts.
