Detached benchmark price by CREB district
CREB splits Calgary into eight districts for its statistics. They don’t line up exactly with the city’s NW, NE, SW and SE quadrants, so a community you think of as “south” may sit in CREB’s South East district. The table is sorted from highest to lowest benchmark.
| CREB district | Detached benchmark (Sept 2026) | Change from Sept 2025 | Example communities |
|---|---|---|---|
| West | $993,700 | +2.69% | Aspen Woods, Springbank Hill, Signal Hill, West Springs, Cougar Ridge, Discovery Ridge |
| City Centre | $981,300 | +0.72% | Hillhurst, Inglewood, Bridgeland, Altadore, Mount Royal, Beltline |
| North West | $781,400 | -0.66% | Tuscany, Rocky Ridge, Royal Oak, Edgemont, Varsity, Arbour Lake |
| South | $709,400 | -0.82% | Lake Bonavista, Evergreen, Chaparral, Legacy, Shawnessy, Sundance, Midnapore |
| South East | $698,900 | -1.55% | Mahogany, Auburn Bay, Cranston, Seton, McKenzie Towne, Copperfield, McKenzie Lake, Douglasdale |
| North | $640,200 | -3.80% | Panorama Hills, Evanston, Sage Hill, Coventry Hills, Kincora, Nolan Hill |
| North East | $556,600 | -6.01% | Saddle Ridge, Taradale, Redstone, Cityscape, Skyview Ranch |
| East | $476,200 | -4.99% | Marlborough, Forest Lawn, Penbrooke Meadows, Dover |
| City of Calgary | $739,400 | -0.95% | All districts combined |
Benchmark figures and year-over-year changes are from CREB’s City of Calgary monthly statistics package for September 2026. Example communities are a guide only. CREB’s district map sets the official boundaries, so ask us to confirm the district for a specific address.
Across the city, detached homes had about 3.3 months of supply in September 2026, down from about 3.7 months a year earlier. That’s tighter than a year ago, even with prices slightly lower.
Benchmark price by property type
Home type moves the number more than almost anything else. Here’s the citywide picture for September 2026.
| Property type (City of Calgary) | Benchmark (Sept 2026) | Change from Sept 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | $739,400 | -0.95% |
| Semi-detached | $685,200 | +0.09% |
| Row (townhouse) | $412,400 | -5.54% |
| Apartment (condo) | $291,400 | -8.28% |
| Total residential | $566,700 | -0.82% |
The gap between types is wide. A typical apartment condo benchmark is less than 40% of the detached figure, and townhouses sit roughly in the middle. Row and apartment benchmarks also fell more over the year than detached and semi-detached homes did, which matters if you’re a first-time buyer comparing a condo against a townhouse, or an owner deciding when to list one.
Airdrie and Okotoks for comparison
CREB also tracks the towns around Calgary. These are total residential benchmarks, which blend all home types, so compare them with Calgary’s total residential figure rather than the detached numbers above.
| Nearby town | Total residential benchmark (Sept 2026) |
|---|---|
| Airdrie | $505,800 |
| Okotoks | $606,800 |
| City of Calgary (for comparison) | $566,700 |
If you’re weighing a move out of the city, our guides to buying in Airdrie and buying in Okotoks cover schools, commutes and taxes.
What the numbers mean in each district
A benchmark tells you about the market in an area, not the value of one house. Still, the district picture gives buyers and sellers a useful starting point.
West
The West had the highest detached benchmark in September 2026 and was one of only two districts where it rose over the year. Buyers should expect larger, newer homes on the west side and plan for competition on well-priced listings. Sellers in Aspen Woods or Springbank Hill can lean on that steadiness, but pricing still needs to reflect your street and your home’s condition.
City Centre
City Centre covers inner-city communities with a wide mix: character homes, infills and older bungalows on larger lots. The benchmark held roughly flat with a small gain. Buyers should compare like with like, because an older bungalow and a new infill on the same block can be far apart in price. Sellers of lots with redevelopment potential should talk to us about who the likely buyers are before choosing a price.
North West
The North West benchmark barely moved. Established communities such as Varsity and Edgemont sit beside newer areas like Tuscany and Rocky Ridge. Buyers get a steady market with a range of ages and styles. Sellers should price against recent sales in their own community, since values vary a lot within the district.
South
The South includes lake communities like Lake Bonavista and Chaparral along with family areas such as Evergreen and Shawnessy. The benchmark slipped less than 1%. Buyers looking at lake communities should budget for the annual lake fee on top of the price. Sellers with lake privileges should make sure buyers can see what the membership includes.
South East
The South East is home to many of the city’s larger newer communities, including Mahogany, Auburn Bay, Cranston and Seton. The detached benchmark dipped 1.55% over the year. Buyers have more choice here, including new construction, which can give you room to negotiate on resale homes. Sellers are competing with builders and with similar homes nearby, so presentation and pricing matter more.
North
The North benchmark fell 3.80%, one of the larger declines. Communities such as Panorama Hills, Evanston and Sage Hill have plenty of supply, including newer homes. Buyers may find more room to negotiate than a year ago. Sellers should look closely at current competition, not just last spring’s sales.
North East
The North East had the largest detached decline of any district, down 6.01%, though it remains one of the more affordable areas for a detached home. Buyers get a lower entry point and more choice right now. Sellers should price for today’s market from the start, since chasing the market down usually costs more time than it saves.
East
The East has the lowest detached benchmark in the city and was down about 5%. Many homes here are older, with mature lots. Buyers looking for a first detached home or a property with suite potential often start here. Sellers should be ready for buyers who look closely at age-related items like roofs, windows and mechanical systems.
How benchmark prices work
CREB reports a benchmark price, not an average price. The benchmark comes from the MLS® Home Price Index, which estimates the price of a typical home with a fixed set of features (size, age, lot and so on) in each area. Because the “typical home” stays the same from month to month, the benchmark shows how prices are moving without being skewed by what happened to sell that month.
An average price works differently. If a few large luxury homes sell in a quiet month, the average jumps, even if nothing else changed. The benchmark smooths that out.
Two things to keep in mind:
- A benchmark isn’t your home’s value. Your lot, layout, updates, condition and street all matter. For a price on a specific home, ask for a home value estimate based on recent nearby sales.
- Districts are broad. Each one holds communities with very different prices. Use the district number as context, then look at your own community.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is the average home price in Calgary right now?
CREB reports benchmark prices rather than averages. As of September 2026, the total residential benchmark for the City of Calgary is $566,700, and the detached benchmark is $739,400, down 0.95% from September 2025.
Which Calgary district has the most expensive detached homes?
In September 2026, the West district had the highest detached benchmark at $993,700, followed closely by City Centre at $981,300. The East district had the lowest at $476,200. Prices within each district still vary a lot by community.
What’s the difference between a benchmark price and an average price?
A benchmark price estimates what a typical home with set features would sell for, so it isn’t skewed by the mix of homes that sold that month. An average simply adds up sale prices and divides, so a few large sales can push it up or down.
Are CREB districts the same as Calgary’s quadrants?
No. CREB uses eight districts (City Centre, North, North East, North West, West, South, South East and East) that don’t match the city’s four quadrants. Check CREB’s district map or ask us to confirm which district an address falls in.
How do Airdrie and Okotoks prices compare to Calgary?
In September 2026, CREB’s total residential benchmark was $505,800 in Airdrie and $606,800 in Okotoks, compared with $566,700 in the City of Calgary. These blend all home types, so compare them with Calgary’s total, not the detached figure.
