Your Tax Assessment
is likely wrong.
Calgary’s property tax assessments rely on a "valuation date" of July 2025—a peak that has long since passed. In early 2026, relying on lagging data or 6-month-old "sold" prices leads to overpricing. Success today isn't about what you hope your home is worth; it's about the data that exists.
Market Shift – Feb 2025 vs. Feb 2026
| Market Metric | Feb 2025 | Feb 2026 | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active Inventory | 4,179 Units | 4,867 Units | +16% More Choice |
| Monthly Sales | 1,718 Sales | 1,526 Sales | -11% Activity |
| Days on Market | 32 Days | 41 Days | Slower Sales |
The Narrative
Calgary is shifting away from the strong seller's market we've been in and is trending heavily toward a more balanced, buyer-friendly reality. With inventory at a 5-year high for this time of year, buyers are no longer rushing. If a listing sits beyond the 41-day average, it quickly becomes "stale," leading to lowball offers and lost leverage.
The Plan
A balanced market rewards the seller who prices for 2026 reality. Whether you are in Mahogany, Altadore, Evanston, or Aspen, we analyze the current supply on your specific street to ensure your home is the next one sold.
Current Ratio: 55%
At 55%, the market is officially balanced. If this number drops below 40%, it becomes a full Buyer's Market. Right now, negotiating power is shifting away from sellers and giving buyers more leverage.
