After several years of tight supply and fast-paced sales, Calgary's market is finally shifting.
A surge of new listings flooded the market in September, and for the first time since 2020, Calgary is seeing true buyer’s market conditions emerge.
New listings outpaces sales by a wide margin in September, 3,782 versus 1,720, driving total inventory up to 6,916 homes. This shift marks an important turning point: supply is finally catching up to demand.
We’re Officially Entering a Buyer’s Market
After months of tight supply, the balance has finally tipped.
The Numbers Behind the Shift
- Sales-to-new listings ratio: Down to 45%, signaling softer demand
- Months of supply: Climbed to 4 months, the highest since early 2020
- Apartments: Benchmark down 6% year-over-year to $322,900
- Detached homes: More resilient at $749,900, only 1% below last year
Most price adjustments were concentrated in the Northeast and North districts, while other areas remain stable.
Key Takeaway: The balance has shifted & Buyers are now in control.
- Inventory is growing faster than demand across all property types.
- Prices remain steady overall, but softening is emerging in condos and select districts.
- Fall could bring more opportunities for buyers before interest picks up again in early 2026.
