CALGARY – Home sales in Calgary declined in April compared with a year ago as the city’s real estate board says improved supply choice across the housing spectrum has reduced the urgency among potential buyers.
The Calgary Real Estate Board says 2,104 homes were sold last month, down 5.7 per cent year-over-year, as the city’s residential benchmark price fell 3.5 per cent from April 2025 to $568,800.
The board’s chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie says the market has shifted away from sellers’ favour to more balanced conditions, however, there remains limited supply choice in the detached market and conditions favour buyers in the condo market.
Apartment-style homes saw a year-over-year price decrease of 8.9 per cent to $301,400, while row-style properties were seven per cent less expensive at $422,900.
Detached home prices were down 2.7 per cent to $745,400 and semi-detached prices fell 0.3 per cent compared with April 2025 to $690,200.
There were 3,829 new listings on the market in April, down 5.2 per cent from a year earlier, while the city’s inventory grew 1.8 per cent year-over-year to 5,973 total homes for sale.
