market report.
The Calgary housing market in May 2026 — pricing, momentum, inventory, and the agents driving the city's strongest outcomes. Updated monthly from verified MLS data.
Calgary, in one paragraph.
Calgary's median sale price rose to $638,000 in May 2026, a +7.2% change year-over-year. The appreciation pattern places Calgary in line with the broader Canadian market, though specific neighbourhoods within the city continue to outperform — and underperform — the headline number by meaningful margins.
The average property in Calgary now sits on market for 19 days before going firm, with approximately 2,267 transactions closing each month across the city's 8,900 active real estate professionals.
Within these aggregate numbers, the gap between top-performing agents and the median is wider than at any point in the last decade. Top-decile agents in Calgary are consistently selling listings 4–7% above benchmark — a gap that compounds over thousands of transactions.
