Calgary Inner City Real Estate Market Report: February 2026
The Inner City Calgary market in February 2026 reflects a clear divergence between ground-oriented housing and higher-density product. Overall activity remains steady, but year-over-year comparisons show meaningful shifts in absorption, supply levels, and pricing dynamics across property types.
Detached homes continue to demonstrate stability with modest price growth and tightening supply. Semi-detached homes show slower sales compared to last year but remain price resilient. Row homes are adjusting to a sharp rise in inventory relative to 2025. Apartments continue to operate in more competitive, buyer-favoured conditions with softer pricing trends year-over-year.
Pricing sensitivity remains elevated across all segments. Well-positioned homes are selling within reasonable timelines, but strategic pricing and presentation remain critical in a market where leverage varies significantly by category.
Single Family Homes (Detached)
Detached homes strengthened in February, with improved pricing and stable absorption levels. Reduced new listings combined with higher sales helped tighten conditions relative to both January and last year.

Conclusion
February 2026 highlights an active but segmented Inner City market.
Detached homes show stable demand, tightening supply, and modest year-over-year price growth. Semi-detached homes demonstrate pricing resilience despite lower sales volume. Row homes are adjusting to materially higher supply levels relative to 2025. Apartments remain in buyer-favoured territory, with softer pricing and elevated inventory.
Strategic pricing and execution remain essential. In today’s Inner City market, outcomes depend less on timing and more on property-specific positioning, negotiation strategy, and presentation.
