Detached homes buck Calgary’s September slowdown

After more than four decades navigating Calgary’s real estate market, I’ve seen plenty of shifts—but September’s numbers offered an interesting twist. Detached homes managed to stand apart, with sales rising by 4%, even as total market sales reached 1,650 and the benchmark price edged down just under 1% to $566,700. Meanwhile, higher-density properties felt the impact of increased supply, leaning toward a buyer’s market. Inventory, as always, showed unique patterns from one community to the next. The evolution of our market is something I watch closely, both for my clients and the colleagues who, like me, are adapting in real time to these changes.
