What's happening in the Airdrie real estate market in July 2026?
Airdrie's housing market entered buyer's market territory in June 2026, recording 4.14 months of supply — the first time this has happened during a spring or summer season since before COVID. With 130 total sales, 538 active listings, and benchmark prices barely moving over the past six months, Airdrie is tracking almost exactly where it was in 2019. For buyers, this is the most selection they've had in years. For sellers, pricing realistically matters more now than it has since before the pandemic.

Spring is done and we're fully into summer. And based on June's numbers, the market is continuing the trend it's been building toward all year: quietly returning to pre-COVID norms. That might sound alarming depending on who you ask — but here's the thing, it really isn't. Here's the full picture.
Airdrie June 2026 Market Numbers
Here's the full city-wide picture for June:
130 sales — the lowest June total since 2019
275 new listings — in line with the 10-year average
538 active listings — almost identical to the 543 Airdrie had at end of June 2019
4.14 months of supply — first buyer's market in a spring/summer since pre-COVID
42 days on market — average for all sold properties
Benchmark price up 0.37% month-over-month, within a 0.92% range over the past six months
That last data point is the one I keep coming back to. We've had nearly flat prices for six months running — and back in 2019, Airdrie went about 15 consecutive months without a meaningful price move in either direction. The data is telling me we're heading somewhere similar. Watch Brad walk through the overall city stats at 2:28

Market Breakdown by Housing Type
Detached Homes
The detached segment had 76 sales in June — the lowest number for a June since 2010, when Airdrie's population was just 40,000 people. Given the city has more than doubled in size since then, this may be the lowest June sales-to-population ratio Airdrie has ever recorded for detached homes.
168 new listings, 320 active listings
4.21 months of supply — buyer's market
37 days on market — slightly quicker than the city average
Benchmark price up 0.46% month-over-month
If you're shopping for a detached home, you have more to choose from than you have in years. If you're selling one, you're competing against more inventory than buyers have seen since before the pandemic — pricing tight from day one is what separates the listings that sell in 37 days from the ones sitting at 90+. Brad breaks down detached stats at 3:21
Curious what a detached home looks like in a specific price range right now? Here's what the low $500s gets you in Airdrie right now
Semi-Detached / Duplexes
This is the segment feeling the most pressure.
11 sales, 33 new listings, 71 active listings
6.45 months of supply — well into buyer's market territory
Benchmark price up just 0.1% month-over-month
The challenge for duplex sellers right now is buyer psychology. At the price point where duplexes compete, a lot of buyers are stretching slightly and choosing a detached home instead. The result: fewer showings, longer days on market, and more negotiating pressure. If you're a duplex seller, you're feeling this. Watch Brad explain the duplex situation at 4:16
Townhouses
The only segment currently in balanced market territory.
35 sales, 56 new listings, 106 active listings
3.03 months of supply — balanced market (the only segment)
Benchmark price down 0.49% month-over-month
Even with the healthiest supply-demand ratio in the city, townhouse prices still ticked slightly downward. Worth watching. More townhouse supply is also on the way — a 60-unit townhouse complex has been proposed for Kings Heights, which will add additional inventory to this segment over the next couple of years.
Condos / Apartments
The condo market continues to soften.
8 sales, 18 new listings, 41 active listings
5.13 months of supply — buyer's market
Benchmark price down 0.31% month-over-month
This is the segment I'm watching most carefully. New-build condos — both rental and for-sale — keep coming to market in Airdrie, and that ongoing supply is going to keep putting downward pressure on resale condo prices. I don't see this reversing anytime soon. If you own a condo and you're thinking about selling, this is worth factoring into your timing. Brad discusses what's ahead for the condo market at 5:27
For a sense of what the entry-level condo market looks like right now, here's a recent listing at 604 East Lake Blvd NE — steps from Genesis Place for $290,000
What This Means If You're Buying or Selling
The honest answer is that you probably don't need to rush anything right now.
Prices are flat. Supply is up. The market isn't falling — 130 homes sold in June — it's just slower, with buyers taking their time and sellers needing to price accordingly. Unless the world throws another unexpected curveball, I think Airdrie is headed for about 12 months of steady prices with small month-to-month fluctuations, sitting on the edge of balanced and buyer's market conditions across most segments.
Here's what that means practically:
Buyers: You have time and selection. Use it. Get into the right home at the right price rather than stretching out of urgency.
Sellers: Homes are selling — but at 42 days average DOM, buyers are deliberate. Accurate pricing from day one is what separates sold listings from stale ones.
Condo owners: If you're thinking about selling and moving up, this may be the right window — get ahead of further softening and buy into the detached or townhouse segment while supply is high.
Every price range and neighbourhood is different though. What I've described above is the city average — your specific situation might look very different. Brad explains why the niche you're in matters at 6:16
