Anne Marie Richardson / Coldwell Banker Mountain Central I give my clients the experience with the focus on transparency, communication and informative info. I believe in this brokerage for a number of reasons.

I was born and raised in Calgary and as such am known through many avenues.

September Brings More Affordable Homes to Calgary Buyers
September brought a shift to Calgary’s real estate landscape: home sales slipped by 3.8%, with 1,650 properties changing hands. The benchmark price edged down 0.8% to $566,700. Apartment values saw the biggest dip at 8.3%, followed by row homes at 5.5%, and detached homes at 1%, while semi-detached homes held steady with a modest 0.1% rise. Both new listings and inventory numbers also decreased. Having guided Calgary families through every kind of market over the past 18 years, I know how these numbers can feel—especially for those wondering what’s next. My own journey began with a real estate letdown, and it’s why I’m committed to helping clients navigate changes like these with clarity and confidence. If you’re weighing your next move or just want to understand how these shifts might affect your plans, I’m here as a resource grounded in local experience and long-term perspective.

Mortgage Rates Face a New Reality
With the current mortgage rates holding steady at elevated levels, many Calgary families are feeling the squeeze when it comes to home affordability. I’ve seen firsthand how these borrowing costs shape every decision—from first-time buyers weighing their options, to seasoned investors carefully planning their next move. While there’s always hope that rate relief might make things easier, the real impact will hinge on inflation, broader economic shifts, and what the Bank of Canada decides next. For now, I encourage everyone—whether you’re looking to buy, refinance, or invest—to focus on strategies that work in today’s market, rather than waiting for rates to drop. After nearly two decades helping clients navigate all types of markets, I’ve learned that preparation and understanding your options make all the difference. Let’s keep our eyes on what we can control, and make smart, informed moves together.

Canada Housing Faces Trade Turmoil
With nearly two decades guiding Calgary families through every shift in the market, I’m always watching for what’s next—and right now, our Canadian housing scene is feeling the weight of global trade tensions, oil price uncertainty, and inflation. Activity is down about 7% compared to last year, and national sales dipped slightly month-over-month. Higher bond yields have nudged fixed mortgage rates up, adding another layer for homebuyers to consider. The Bank of Canada is holding steady on its policy rate, and with inflation hovering close to 3% for a second month, some economists are even talking about possible rate cuts—but not until 2027. For 2026, expectations lean toward stable rates or maybe a small increase. The wildcard? A US trade deal could quickly breathe new life into the market. For now, I’m advising clients to keep a close eye on the next 6 to 12 months. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking for your next renovation project, staying prepared is key—especially in times like these.

From offer to keys: a guide for Alberta homebuyers
After nearly two decades guiding Calgary families through the homebuying maze, I've learned the journey from offer to keys is as much about clarity as it is about excitement. Start with a clear budget—understand what you qualify for and the true costs of homeownership, not just the list price. Once you've found the right place, it’s time to dig into the details: assess the market value, add any conditions you need, and spell out your terms in the offer (with a firm deadline). Negotiations are part of the process, and once everything’s agreed, work through your conditions step by step. Before possession day, line up your insurance, utilities, and movers. I’ve seen how these details, handled well, can make all the difference in your experience—whether you’re buying your first home or your fifth. Every successful move is built on preparation and local know-how.

Canada Needs Twice the Projected Homes
When we talk about restoring home affordability in Canada, the numbers are staggering: the national housing agency estimates we need between 417,000 and 469,000 new homes each year through 2036—nearly double what current construction projects will deliver. Yet, the reality on the ground is a persistent supply gap of 187,000 to 238,000 homes annually. As someone who has spent 18 years guiding Calgary families through every stage of the real estate journey, I see how these figures aren’t just statistics—they shape real opportunities and challenges for buyers and sellers alike. With construction expected to slow even more quickly than demand, the risk to affordability isn’t something on the horizon—it’s here now. Much of what’s being built today comes from projects already in motion, making it clear that we’d need a dramatic increase in new builds to truly close the gap. For those navigating the current market, understanding the scale of this shortage is key; it influences everything from investment potential to renovation value. It’s one more reason I keep a close eye on both the numbers and the neighborhoods—because every home matters, especially in times like these.

Canada housing affordability and market trends
It’s no secret that buying a home in Canada has become more challenging, thanks to the pandemic housing boom and persistent inflation. The Bank of Canada has moved interest rates up sharply in recent years, though there have now been nine cuts, bringing the rate to 2.25%. Inflation is hovering around 3%, and fixed mortgage rates are still unpredictable—though some have dipped below 4%. Having guided Calgary families through all kinds of markets over the past 18 years, I know firsthand how these numbers translate into real-life decisions, whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking to invest. My own journey started with a tough real estate experience, so I understand the uncertainty and the excitement that comes with every market shift. It’s moments like these that remind me why I’m committed to helping my clients navigate the ups and downs of our ever-changing market.
