Calgary rents are not falling everywhere.

The headline number everyone quotes comes from apartments. Split the data by property type and it reverses: detached houses are up 7.1% year over year and townhouses up 9.5%, while main floor and basement suites are essentially flat at -1.0%.

Vacancy is sitting at about 5%, and it is concentrated in the highest-rent quartile at 6.7%, not the lowest at 4.4%.

We have put the whole picture together with every figure carrying its source and the period it describes, including why one report says rents fell 1% and another says 4.5%.

Late summer is one of the busiest times of the year for Calgary's rental market.

As students, faculty, and many families prepare to settle in before fall, rental activity across the city begins to pick up. No landlord wants to see a property sitting empty, but rushing a lease can create bigger problems later. That is why our leasing process is designed to reduce vacancy without compromising on tenant screening.

With our 3-Week Fast Leasing Guarantee, you can move into the busy leasing season with confidence.

Visit ampmproperties.ca to learn more about our leasing services.

Happy Heritage Day, Alberta.🎉🎉

The first Monday in August is our own holiday. A quiet one, set aside for the fact that this province was built by people who came from somewhere else and stayed.

Helping people find somewhere to live is most of what we do. Wherever you started out, we hope you have found a place that feels like home.

Enjoy the day.🥳

The team behind your rental.

Property management is not really about buildings. It is about
whether someone picks up the phone, whether a repair gets handled
properly, and whether an owner ever has to wonder what is
happening with their own property.

That is what this group does, every day, across Calgary, Airdrie
and Chestermere.

If you own a rental and you are tired of chasing updates, we are
happy to have a straight conversation about it.

One thing I always tell property owners is this: don't price your rental until you know what tenants are comparing it to.

The competitiveness of a rental property in Calgary depends on the options available to tenants.

When tenants compare properties, they are not just looking at price. They are comparing location, condition, amenities, commute times, and overall value.

Understanding what your competition looks like can help you price your property more effectively and attract qualified tenants sooner.

Don't rush into saying yes to the first application you receive.

When a property has been sitting vacant, it is tempting to fill it as quickly as possible. But finding someone to rent your property is only part of the process. Choosing someone who pays on time, respects your home, and plans to stay is what really protects your investment.

At AM PM Properties, we take the time to screen every application carefully, so you can avoid problems that are much harder to fix later.
