📊 **July Calgary Real Estate Market Update**

The latest Calgary real estate numbers are in, and the market continues to shift depending on the type of home.

🏡 Detached homes remain in a relatively balanced market, while apartment condominiums continue to see the most price adjustments as inventory remains higher.

Overall, Calgary's benchmark price is approximately **2% lower than this time last year**, and buyers continue to benefit from having more homes to choose from than we've seen in recent years.

Every neighbourhood and property type is performing differently, so if you're wondering what these numbers mean for your home—or if you're thinking about buying or selling—don't rely on the headlines alone.

Alberta's Future Is Being Built Today

This chart from ATB Economics projects Alberta's population will grow by 46% between 2025 and 2050—the highest growth of any province in Canada.

That isn't just an interesting statistic. It's a glimpse into where Alberta may be headed.

Over the past year alone we've seen:

✅ Billions of dollars announced for AI data centres and technology infrastructure.
✅ Continued investment in energy, petrochemicals, manufacturing and logistics.
✅ Businesses expanding and creating new jobs.
✅ Canadians from across the country choosing Alberta for its affordability and opportunities.

People follow opportunity.

As more people move here, the demand doesn't stop at housing. Growing communities need roads, schools, hospitals, parks, utilities, restaurants, shopping, recreation, and local businesses.

Will the real estate market rise every year? No. Markets naturally move through cycles.

But one of the biggest long-term drivers of real estate has always been population growth. More people ultimately means more demand for places to live.

As real estate professionals, we don't just watch home prices—we pay attention to the economic trends shaping Alberta's future. Understanding what's happening today helps our clients make more informed decisions tomorrow.

Do you think Alberta is ready for this level of growth? What do you think will be the biggest challenge over the next 25 years?

Today I was helping a client compare the cost of renting with the cost of buying.

It's a conversation I'm having more and more often.

The reality is that owning a home can cost more each month than renting once you factor in the mortgage, property taxes, insurance, utilities and maintenance.

That's why I don't think the question should simply be, "What's the monthly payment?"

The better question is, "What am I building for tomorrow?"

When you own a home, a portion of your mortgage payment goes toward building equity in something you own. Renting and buying each have advantages, and neither is the right answer for everyone. It depends on your goals, your finances and where you are in life.

Before deciding whether to continue renting or buy your first home, it's worth comparing the numbers and understanding what each option really costs.

Have you ever compared your monthly rent to what owning might look like?

🏠 Berkshire Hathaway just made an $8.5 billion bet on a North American homebuilder.

It got me thinking about Calgary.

Despite today's concerns around affordability, interest rates, and economic uncertainty, Calgary remains one of the more affordable major cities in North America and continues to attract people from across Canada and abroad.

If a company like Berkshire is willing to invest billions in housing for the long term, what does that say about the future demand for housing in cities like Calgary?

Where do you think Calgary's housing market will be 10 years from now?

I recently watched a YouTube video claiming some Calgary suburban communities could see major price collapses over the next few years.

As someone who has worked in Calgary real estate for nearly 30 years, I think there are some valid concerns worth discussing — but also a lot of exaggeration.

Calgary is far more nuanced than “suburbs are collapsing.”

I shared my perspective on what’s really happening in Calgary’s market, what buyers should actually be watching, and why some communities continue to see strong demand.

NEW LISTING – RANCHLANDS NW,
244 Ranchridge Bay NW

Just hitting the market in Ranchlands — and this one has a lot going for it.

The main living space feels bright and open with a bay window and cedar vaulted ceiling, and the kitchen has been nicely updated with a layout that just works for everyday living.

One of the standout features here is the additional space this home offers. There’s a cozy family room with a wood stove (WETT inspected), a fully developed basement, and a heated garage with a proper workshop setup — something you don’t come across very often.

It’s the kind of home that’s been well cared for over the years, with updates where they matter and space that gives you options depending on how you live.

If you’ve been looking in the area, this one is definitely worth a look.
