Calgary's housing market, neighbourhood by neighbourhood
How to use the Calgary Heat Map
How do I know if a Calgary neighbourhood is a buyer's market or seller's market?
The heat map uses a colour scale to show market conditions across every Calgary neighbourhood. Blue areas favour buyers — more inventory, longer days on market, sellers with less negotiating leverage. Red areas favour sellers — tight inventory, fast sales, multiple offers. Balanced markets sit between the two. The score runs from 1 (strong buyer's market) to 100 (strong seller's market), updated monthly from MLS data.
Which Calgary neighbourhoods favour buyers right now?
This changes every month based on current sales activity, inventory levels, and price trends. Click on any blue or light blue neighbourhood in the heat map above to see the underlying data — months of supply, sales-to-list ratio, recent price movement, and average days on market. Generally, neighbourhoods with more inventory, longer DOM, and higher months-of-supply favour buyers.
Which Calgary neighbourhoods favour sellers right now?
Red and dark red neighbourhoods are the strongest seller's markets — tight inventory, fast sales, often above-list pricing. Click any neighbourhood for the specific numbers. Calgary's market varies dramatically by community; what's true citywide may not match what's happening in your specific neighbourhood.
What data does the heat map use?
The map pulls from CREB market data and Pillar 9 MLS®, the same source used by realtors and brokerages across southern Alberta. Each neighbourhood score reflects current months of supply, sales-to-new-listings ratio, and price trends relative to the citywide baseline. Data refreshes monthly when CREB publishes new figures.
How recent is the data?
Updated monthly when CREB releases new market reports. The heat map header shows the data period. For quarterly trend views, the Quarterly toggle shows three-month rolling averages, which smooth out single-month volatility.
