As we enter 2026, the Valley Ridge real estate market continues to show stability with modest appreciation. This Valley Ridge market report breaks down the latest data from CREB® and what it means whether you're thinking about buying or selling in one of Calgary's premier northwest communities.
Valley Ridge Market Snapshot
The current benchmark price in Valley Ridge sits at $807,900, reflecting a 0.4% increase year-over-year. While this represents more modest growth compared to the rapid appreciation of 2021-2024, it signals a market that's finding equilibrium after several years of strong gains.
With 12 active listings and 79 homes sold year-to-date, Valley Ridge maintains healthy transaction volume. The 36-day average time on market indicates that properly priced homes continue to attract buyer interest within a reasonable timeframe.
Detached vs. Row Homes
Valley Ridge remains predominantly a detached home community, with 70 detached sales compared to just 6 row home sales year-to-date. The detached home benchmark is $825,700, while row homes benchmark at $547,100—offering an entry point for buyers seeking Valley Ridge's amenities at a lower price point.
Interestingly, detached homes have seen a slight correction of -4.4% year-over-year, while row homes have appreciated 1%. This divergence may reflect buyers adjusting to affordability constraints while still prioritizing the Valley Ridge lifestyle.
What This Means for Valley Ridge Buyers
For buyers, the current market offers more breathing room than we've seen in recent years. With 6 months of supply currently, you have time to make thoughtful decisions rather than feeling rushed into offers. That said, the overall year-to-date supply of 2.09 months still favors sellers, so don't expect deep discounts.
The 74% sale-to-list ratio tells us that homes are selling close to asking price. If you find a home you love that's priced fairly, offering significantly below ask is unlikely to succeed. View current Valley Ridge listings to see what's available.
What This Means for Valley Ridge Sellers
Sellers should approach the market with realistic expectations. While Valley Ridge remains desirable, the days of rapid price increases have moderated. Proper pricing from day one is critical—overpriced listings tend to languish and ultimately sell for less than they would have with accurate initial pricing.
The good news? Well-maintained homes in Valley Ridge's premium locations—golf course frontage, river views, or backing onto green space—continue to command premium prices. If you're curious about your home's current value, I offer free, no-obligation home valuations.
