Airdrie in August 2026
Airdrie is one of the fastest-growing communities in the Calgary region and is reported by the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB) as a named sub-area within CREB's own regional monthly release — similar to how the Fraser Valley board covers Surrey, Langley, and White Rock within a single release. Airdrie does not have its own separate real estate board.
CREB's August 2026 data puts Airdrie's sales-to-new-listings ratio at 58% — 137 sales against 235 new listings — which keeps conditions seller-leaning even as prices continue to ease. The total residential benchmark was $508,800, down about one per cent from July and 4.5% from a year earlier; the detached benchmark stood at $596,200, down 5.4% year over year.
Sales are down 13.2% year to date, but new listings have pulled back around seven per cent over the same period. That matching retreat is what has kept inventory from building further and held months of supply below four, at 3.77.
Detached Benchmark Price
CREB's August 2026 regional package reports both a total residential benchmark and a detached benchmark for Airdrie. It still publishes no separate townhouse or apartment benchmark for the community, so those rows are omitted rather than estimated.
| Property Type | Benchmark Price | YoY |
|---|---|---|
| Total Residential | $508,800 | ▼ 4.5% |
| Detached | $596,200 | ▼ 5.4% |

Supply and Demand Breakdown
Every figure in this section is taken from CREB's own August 2026 Regional Market Facts package. Earlier versions of this page flagged the sales and inventory counts as lower-confidence because they came from a secondary outlet citing CREB; that caveat no longer applies, as these are CREB's own published figures.
What's Driving the Market
Interest rates: The Bank of Canada's overnight rate held at 2.25% through mid-2026, with 5-year fixed rates settling around 4.29–4.69%. Lower rates versus the 2023 peak (5.5% overnight) have kept buyer demand relatively resilient in commuter communities like Airdrie, north of Calgary.
Stress test: All federally regulated lenders continue to qualify buyers under OSFI's B-20 stress test. See our 2026 stress test guide for details on how the qualifying rate is calculated.
Regional relationship to Calgary: As a CREB-tracked sub-area rather than an independently boarded market, Airdrie's price trends broadly track the wider Calgary region, with local variation driven by new-home supply and commuter demand. Compare against the Calgary market report for the regional picture.
Provincial backdrop: Alberta's relative affordability compared to BC and Ontario, along with no provincial land transfer tax, continues to support interprovincial migration into commuter towns like Airdrie. See our Alberta mortgage guide and Alberta mortgage advantage article.
