Supply conditions in March varied significantly depending on property type. Inventory levels saw a typical monthly rise, but compared with long-term trends, inventory remained well above the 10-year average for both row and apartment-style units and well below trend for detached homes. This is not a surprise given the pullback in detached housing starts last year despite record-high apartment-style starts.

Life is unpredictable, and disasters like fire, flood, or theft can happen when you least expect them. Losing your home or possessions is stressful, but having a home inventory list can make the claims process much easier. 

The Calgary housing market is filled with opportunities. For first-time homebuyers, this creates a debate on whether a house or a condominium (a.k.a. a condo) would be more beneficial for buyers entering the market. The answer depends on your lifestyle.

Calgary continued to see market conditions vary by property type in February. The tightest conditions occurred in detached and semi-detached properties, reporting less than three months of supply. Row homes reported slightly higher supply levels relative to demand but remained relatively balanced. Meanwhile, apartment-style properties are dealing with excess supply, as conditions continue to favour the buyer.

Calgary reported 1,234 sales in January, a year-over-year decline of 15 per cent, but in line with typical levels of activity for the month. While sales declined across all property types, the steepest declines occurred in higher-density homes.

Calgary is the sixth best city to live in Canada (16 spots ahead of Edmonton!), according to Numbeo’s 2026 Quality of Life Index, which compares hundreds of cities around the world and ranks them based on everything from affordability and climate to health care, safety and even traffic.

The new year brings new ideas for home improvement. But there are specific changes that bring the most return on investment. And they’re not necessarily the priciest. Here’s a look. 

Moving to a new home should be an exciting and positive experience, not one filled with stress or uncertainty.
