About these numbers
Calgary figures are for the City of Calgary from the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®) (October 1, 2026 release). Edmonton figures are for the Greater Edmonton Area from the REALTORS® Association of Edmonton (October 2, 2026 release), cross-checked with WOWA.ca. CREB's "row" category is shown here as townhouse condos. Board areas and methods differ slightly; benchmark (MLS® HPI) prices are the best like-for-like comparison.
