Calgary Real Estate Board
Total residential benchmark, August 2026: $569,800, City of Calgary. Sales of 1,660 were down 16% year over year and new listings of 3,141 down around 10%.
The Calgary metropolitan area recorded 27,684 housing starts in 2025, a record and up 14% on 2024, per CMHC. The metropolitan area also grew 2.9% between July 2024 and July 2025, among the fastest of any in Canada.

Calgary brokers write more files for every million in volume than their BC and Ontario peers, and they close them faster. A benchmark under $600,000 keeps most purchases inside insured lending, which means rate driven A lender files and quick approvals.
Record construction also changes the work. New builds bring completion mortgages, progress draw files and builder incentives to navigate, and the steady flow of buyers relocating from Vancouver and Toronto brings relocation timelines, sale of property conditions and out of province down payments.
RECA regulates mortgage brokerage in Alberta. Every licence expires on 30 September regardless of when it was issued, so renewal has to be complete by that date to practise on 1 October.
