Calculated as 896 ÷ 1,726. Sales and new listings are separate monthly totals, not the same group of homes.

What this means for your sale

Your competition matters more than the headline.

A city-wide benchmark can hide very different conditions around your home. Review the alternatives buyers can tour, prepare the details they will compare, and price against relevant evidence.

How to read these figures

Benchmark price tracks a typical home, rather than the average sale price. Months of supply compares available inventory with the current sales pace; here it is calculated from the same month’s active listings ÷ sales, and is not a forecast of your selling time.

These figures cover Calgary detached homes at all prices. They are not a valuation of your home or a separate report on the $800,000-plus market and surrounding communities.

Calgary market intelligence

Use the market context for your next seller decision.

Research what is changing nearby, compare actual Calgary, Okotoks and Heritage Pointe detached homes, or organize Heritage Pointe ownership documents.

Before comparing price per square foot, inspect a real Calgary RMS report and the home-size comparison worksheet. The Aspen Woods case study provides the original documents behind the example.

Before choosing representation, compare the evidence and responsibilities using the Calgary listing-agent selection guide. For move planning, review what affects the time to sell a $1M+ home.

If an earlier agreement reached its end date without a sale, begin with the expired-listing review before planning another launch.

Compare the costs of preparing, launching as-is or waiting, then turn the preparation into a working schedule with the seller launch planner. Choose another resource from all Calgary planning tools.
