Evanston Market Update – September 2026
Semi-Detached Homes
There were no semi-detached sales recorded in September, with 3 properties remaining in inventory.
In August, there were 4 sales and only 1 property in inventory, which resulted in a very low 0.25 months of supply. The lack of sales in September makes that sharp month-to-month change difficult to interpret as a broader trend.
The semi-detached benchmark price was $626,200, down slightly from $628,000 in August and approximately 4.1% below September 2025.
With no September sales, months of supply and sale-to-list ratio are not meaningful measures for this segment.
Row & Townhouse
The row and townhouse market remained relatively balanced in September.
There were 6 sales and 25 units in inventory, resulting in 4.17 months of supply. That was up from 3.67 months in August and slightly below Calgary’s townhouse average of 4.45 months.
Townhouses sold for approximately 98% of list price, up from 97% in August and slightly above Calgary’s 97% average.
The benchmark price was $398,700, essentially unchanged from $399,100 in August and approximately 8.7% below September 2025.
The month-to-month numbers suggest a fairly stable market, although the year-over-year benchmark decline shows that pricing remains softer than it was last fall.
Evanston Takeaway
Evanston’s detached market had more supply relative to sales than Calgary overall in September, with months of supply rising from August. At the same time, detached homes were still selling for about 99% of list price, suggesting that well-positioned properties continued to attract buyers.
The townhouse segment remained comparatively balanced, with months of supply slightly below the Calgary average and sale-to-list performance slightly stronger than the citywide rate.
Semi-detached and apartment activity was too limited to draw firm conclusions. Across all property types, benchmark prices were lower than September 2025, with the largest year-over-year declines appearing in the townhouse and apartment segments.
Evanston Safety & Reported Crime
Evanston recorded 103 reported incidents in 2025, up from 78 in 2024. Using the community’s 2019 population of 17,685 as the denominator, that works out to approximately 5.8 reported incidents per 1,000 residents.
That rate was well below the broader median for established Calgary communities, and was roughly in line with the peer median for other large established communities with populations above 12,000. Vehicle crime was the most commonly reported category, and the year-over-year trend was upward.
For buyers, the increase in raw incidents is worth noting, but the per-capita rate still remained comparatively moderate within its peer group. As with any large suburban community, the specific street, nearby parking patterns and immediate surroundings of a property can matter more than the community wide number alone.
