Airdrie in September 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 September 2026 data puts Airdrie’s sales-to-new-listings ratio at 54% — 115 sales against 213 new listings — the upper end of the balanced band, down from 58% in August as sales fell 12.2% year over year. The total residential benchmark was $505,800, down 3.8% from a year earlier; the detached benchmark stood at $591,900, down 4.7% year over year.
Sales are down 13.1% year to date, and new listings are down 9.7% over the same period (213 new listings in September were 27.8% fewer than a year earlier). Inventory fell 16.2% year over year to 480, which kept months of supply at 4.17, down 4.6% from a year ago.
Detached Benchmark Price
CREB’s September 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 | $505,800 | ▼ 3.8% |
| Detached | $591,900 | ▼ 4.7% |

Supply and Demand Breakdown
Every figure in this section is taken from CREB’s own September 2026 Regional Market Facts package.
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.
