April 2026 Market Update
Balanced Conditions Continue with More Buyer Choice Emerging.
April saw a continued rise in inventory and listings as we move deeper into the spring market. Overall conditions remain balanced, though trends continue to vary by property type. Detached homes remain the tightest segment with limited supply supporting prices, while apartment-style condos are firmly in buyer-favouring territory due to higher inventory levels.
- Calgary, the benchmark price reached $568,800, showing a modest monthly increase, but still down approximately 3–4% compared to last year. Sales totaled 2,104 units, with inventory rising to 5,973 homes and months of supply sitting at 2.84 months, keeping the market balanced.
-Airdrie recorded 151 sales and 299 new listings, with inventory rising to 494 homes. Conditions remain balanced with 3.27 months of supply, and a benchmark price of $516,700, slightly up from last month but still lower year-over-year.
-Cochrane continues to show steady activity with a benchmark price of $569,200, while Okotoks remains one of the tighter surrounding markets with pricing at $627,600.

Buyers
▪️ More inventory = more choice, especially in condos and row homes
▪️ Increased negotiating power in higher supply segments
▪️ Detached homes in desirable areas still require strong offers

Sellers
▪️ Pricing strategically is more important than ever
▪️ Homes that show well and are marketed properly are still selling
▪️ Spring market momentum is here, but buyers are more selective

Considering a move in 2026? I’d love to help you break down what these trends mean for your specific neighbourhood and property type.
