Calgary Luxury Real Estate
Research Library.

A working reference for Calgary owners, buyers and their advisors. Every figure here is attributed to a named public source with its reference period and its limits. Where a source cannot support a conclusion, we say so rather than filling the gap.

Key takeaways

  • Citywide statistics describe the market as a whole — they are not a luxury price index.
  • A City assessment answers a different question, on a different date, than a listing valuation.
  • Bespoke homes are priced from transaction-level evidence and adjustments, not from medians.
  • Every claim below is labelled with its publisher, period and what it cannot support.

June 2026 Calgary market context

Source: CREB® June 2026 statistics release. Reference period: June 2026. Checked July 29, 2026.

Citywide indicators, all property types
IndicatorJune 2026
Sales2,197
Sales-to-new-listings ratio56%
Months of supplyJust over 3
Citywide unadjusted benchmark price$572,500
Detached benchmark price$750,500

CREB reports that price gains occurred in the highest price ranges across most property types. That is a directional statement about segments of the market — it is not a luxury price index, and no count of luxury sales can be derived from it. Benchmark prices model a typical property; a bespoke estate is by definition atypical.

For interpretation rather than repetition, read the Calgary market intelligence hub, which sets out how we read absorption, segment mix and days-on-market signals over time.

How this library is researched

We start from the primary publisher, quote only what the document states, and record the reference period alongside the number. Secondary commentary is never upgraded into fact. Where an inference is plausible but unsupported — for example a luxury-only sales count derived from citywide totals — we leave it out.

Evidence hierarchy, strongest first:

  1. Registry and regulator records (Alberta Land Titles, RECA).
  2. Official municipal publications (City of Calgary assessment and permit material).
  3. Board statistics with a stated methodology (CREB monthly releases).
  4. Transaction-level closed evidence with verifiable terms.
  5. Active, expired and withdrawn listing context — competitive signal, not proof of value.
  6. Practitioner observation, clearly labelled as such.

Update cadence: market context is reviewed monthly after the CREB release; City assessment material is reviewed annually when the roll is published or sooner if the City revises guidance; every page carries a visible reviewed date.

Definitions and limits

  • Benchmark price — a modelled price for a typical property of a given type, useful for trend, unreliable for bespoke homes.
  • Months of supply — inventory divided by monthly sales; a balance indicator, not a forecast.
  • Assessment — a mass-appraisal estimate for taxation as at a stated valuation date, not a current listing valuation.
  • Luxury — used here to describe bespoke, architect-designed, estate and upper-price-range property. There is no single official price threshold, and we do not invent one.

Nothing here is an appraisal, a legal opinion, or tax advice. For a valuation opinion on a specific property, engage a qualified appraiser or request a positioning consultation.
