Mahogany Real Estate Market – June 2026
Mahogany’s housing market varied considerably by property type in June 2026. Townhouses and semi-detached homes continued to favour sellers, detached conditions were more balanced, and apartment buyers had substantially more choice.
Benchmark prices were lower than one year earlier across all four housing categories. This points to improved value for buyers, while the strongest market conditions remained concentrated among attached homes with more limited inventory.
Compared with nearby southeast Calgary communities, Mahogany sits in a strong upper position. Its detached benchmark price is higher than Auburn Bay, Chaparral, Cranston, Seton, McKenzie Lake, New Brighton, Copperfield, and Legacy, while still sitting below more established premium lake communities like Lake Bonavista.
Mahogany Home Prices and Market Conditions
Detached homes recorded 27 sales, 49 new listings and 86 properties in inventory. The detached benchmark price was $793,900, down 5.1% year over year, with approximately 3.19 months of supply.
Semi-detached homes had a benchmark price of $544,400, down 5.2%, with 2.71 months of supply. Townhouses had a benchmark price of $456,900, down 8%, and approximately 2.33 months of supply.
Apartments offered buyers the greatest selection. The apartment benchmark price was $316,100, down 8.1%, with five months of supply; placing this category in buyer market conditions.
| Property type | Benchmark price | Year-over-year change | Months of supply |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | $793,900 | -5.1% | 3.19 |
| Semi-detached | $544,400 | -5.2% | 2.71 |
| Row/townhouse | $456,900 | -8.0% | 2.33 |
| Apartment | $316,100 | -8.1% | 5.00 |
What This Means for Mahogany Buyers and Sellers
Buyers have more negotiating room than they did one year ago, particularly in the apartment and detached-home segments. Apartment buyers can generally take more time to compare buildings, condominium fees, parking and unit condition, while detached buyers are benefiting from increased selection and softer benchmark pricing.
Townhouses and semi-detached homes remain more competitive. Sellers in these categories may still benefit from relatively limited supply, although accurate pricing remains important because benchmark values have declined.
Mahogany sellers should base their strategy on their specific property type rather than the community wide market. Presentation, condition, location within the community, lake access and nearby competing listings can all affect how quickly a property sells.
