FURTHER INVENTORY GAINS AND PRICE ADJUSTMENTS

In September, Calgary’s housing market saw more homes coming up for sale than being sold, which has led to higher inventory levels. There are now nearly 7,000 homes available — much higher than last year and above typical September levels. This increase is most noticeable in row and apartment-style homes.

With more choices available — from resale to new builds and rentals — buyers feel less urgency, and prices are starting to soften, especially in the apartment market, where prices are down about six per cent year-over-year. Detached homes, on the other hand, are holding steadier, with only a small one per cent dip from last year.

Overall, the sales-to-new-listings ratio has dropped, and supply has climbed to levels not seen since early 2020. If this trend continues, the market could lean more in favour of buyers, though conditions still vary by property type, price range, and neighbourhood.

Detached

In September, detached home sales slowed to 859 units, about nine per cent lower than last year, while new listings jumped to 1,905. This shift pushed the sales-to-new-listings ratio down to 45 per cent — the lowest since 2018. With more supply available, prices have eased from spring’s record highs, bringing the benchmark price to $749,900, down about one per cent from both last month and last year.

Semi-Detached

In September, semi-detached sales slowed to 156 units while new listings climbed to 361, pushing the sales-to-new-listings ratio down to 43 per cent and inventory up to nearly four months of supply. Despite this shift, prices have held steady, with the benchmark at $684,800 — just below last month but still about one per cent higher than last year.

Row

New listings made a small rebound in September, reaching 592, but with only 304 sales, the sales-to-new listings ratio dipped to 51%. While this helped keep already high inventory levels from climbing further, supply still rose to 1,099 units—the highest September count since 2018 and well above long-term trends. With more choices on the market, resale prices have softened. The unadjusted benchmark price now sits at $437,100, down slightly from last month and nearly five percent below last year.

Apartment

Apartment condominium demand slowed in September due to higher rental supply, delayed interest rate changes, and stronger alternatives in other property types. Sales dropped to 401 against 924 new listings, pushing the sales-to-new-listings ratio down to 43%. Inventory rose to 1,999 units, with months of supply reaching five for the first time since 2021. Persistently high supply since June has driven prices down, with the benchmark price at $322,900—over 1% lower than last month and more than 6% below last year.
