August 2026
Hawkwood real estate market
A sharp rebound after a softer July
The month in focus
Hawkwood's detached benchmark rose from $706,600 in July to $757,500 in August, a reported monthly increase of 7.2%. Eight detached sales accompanied the August report, compared with five in July. It is a notable move, but the previous month gives it a different shape from an uninterrupted climb.
July had recorded a 5.9% monthly decline. August therefore follows a drop, rather than extending a smooth winning streak. The August benchmark was still 1.2% below its level a year earlier. Both facts belong alongside the largest monthly percentage in our eligible detached comparison set.
Active detached listings eased from 18 to 16, while average selling time rose from 23 to 36 days. Price, volume and pace do not have to move together. There is no evidence in these aggregate reports that identifies which individual sale caused the benchmark to change.
The row and apartment categories each recorded one August sale. Their benchmark changes remain visible for context, but they do not qualify for the mover ranking. That ranking compares the same property type, requires at least five sales in both months, and checks the reported price movement against the two benchmark values.

About the figures and comparisons
Benchmark prices describe a modelled typical home for a property type and area. They are not average sale prices, individual valuations or proof that every home changed by the same amount. Monthly and annual changes use different comparison periods.
Movers are ranked only within the communities in this report set, separately by home type. At least five reported sales in each of July and August are required, and the reported monthly change must agree with the two benchmark values within 0.15 percentage points. This is a screening rule, not statistical significance or evidence that particular transactions caused a price change. Equal changes share the same substantive position; names break display ties.
Sales cover the reporting month; active listings describe available inventory in the report. Average days describes completed sales, not the age of all active listings. Selling-time cells below five sales are withheld. A dash means unreported or withheld, never zero. The collection covers 194 communities and is not a complete census of Calgary transactions.
