🏠 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.

There’s been a lot of discussion lately around whether buying a home still makes sense.

While renting vs. owning will always depend on individual circumstances, one point is often overlooked:

👉 Most people don’t build wealth through perfect strategies — they build it through consistency.

Homeownership can provide:
✔️ A structured way to build equity over time
✔️ Stability compared to rising rental costs
✔️ A long-term foundation for financial growth

At the same time, today’s affordability challenges are real — and they do impact when and how people enter the market.

The key isn’t choosing sides.

👉 It’s understanding how each option fits into your long-term plan.

We’ve put together a blog that explores this in a practical, real-world way — including both the opportunities and the challenges in today’s market.

If you’re navigating this decision, having a clear strategy matters more than ever.

There’s been a lot of conversation lately about whether buying a home is still worth it.You’ve likely seen the headlines:“Rent and invest instead”“Real estate isn’t the best investment anymore”“You’re better off staying flexible”Some of these arguments ...

The Most Overlooked Calgary Neighbourhoods 👀

When buyers start their search, they often focus on the same well-known communities.

But some of the best opportunities in Calgary are found in neighbourhoods that don’t always get the spotlight.

Areas like:

• Acadia & Fairview
• Haysboro
• Queensland & Deer Ridge
• Beddington & Huntington Hills
• Pineridge & Marlborough Park

We put together a short article breaking down why these areas are worth a closer look.

As we head into April, we’re seeing a clear shift in the Calgary real estate market—but not in the way many people think.

New listings are relatively flat. What’s changed is how quickly homes are selling.

Buyers are taking more time, comparing options, and negotiating more. As a result, homes are sitting longer—and inventory is building.

This has created a more balanced, competitive market.

But what’s most important right now is this:

👉 Calgary is no longer one market—it’s several.

Detached homes are holding relatively steady, but facing more competition
Semi-detached and row homes are starting to feel pressure
Apartments are seeing the most change, with more available units and slower demand

This isn’t a market that’s collapsing—it’s one that’s rebalancing.

For sellers, pricing and positioning matter more than they have in years.
For buyers, there’s more opportunity, more choice, and more room to negotiate.

We break this down further in our latest blog 👇

Should You Buy a Home in Calgary Right Now?

It’s one of the most common questions buyers are asking today.

With interest rates higher than they were a few years ago and more homes appearing on the market, many people are wondering whether now is the right time to buy or if waiting makes more sense.

The reality is that real estate markets are always changing. Rising interest rates can affect affordability, but they can also create opportunities for buyers by increasing inventory and reducing competition.

In our latest blog article, we explore what buyers in Calgary should consider when making this decision.
