VI · Methodology
How this brief was assembled.
Source. CREB® MLS® data supplied by a licensed REALTOR®. Aggregated and anonymized. No individual sale price, address, MLS® number, agent identifier, or public remarks are published.
Scope. Townhome records for Calgary, Canmore and surrounding Alberta markets, Q1–Q3 2026, compared with Q1–Q3 2025. Active figures reflect a Q3 snapshot of the supplied export.
Suppression. Any geography or slice with fewer than 10 records is suppressed to protect participant privacy.
Prices. Sale-to-list ratios, sold-price medians, averages, totals, price-per-square-foot and price bands are intentionally omitted because the supplied export’s Current Price field appears to reflect close price for sold rows.
Limits. Results reflect the supplied export and may not include all market activity. CREB® is the source of the underlying data. This independent analysis is not an official CREB® market report.
