#1 Top Producer for the month of May! Thank you to all my clients and fellow agents that make this possible. I couldn't do it without the trust and referrals. Let's keep it going for June and congratulations to all my fellow colleagues as well.

Back in April, City Council voted to repeal the citywide blanket rezoning. This means that on August 4, 2026, the rules for what you can build on your lot are getting a major makeover, and they’re getting a lot stricter.

For the last two years, R-CG zoning allowed for some incredible flexibility. Moving forward, we are seeing a return to traditional limits:

✅ Building heights are being lowered.
✅ Lot coverage is being reduced (less house, more yard).
✅ You’ll have to choose between a basement suite OR a backyard suite, no more doing both.
✅ Parking requirements are making a comeback.

If you submitted your development permits before April 8, you might be in the clear, but for everyone else, these changes will shift property values and development potential almost overnight.

I’ve spent 25 years watching Calgary evolve, and navigating these shifts is where I help my clients win. Whether you’re looking to sell a high-potential lot or buy your next project, let’s make sure you’re ahead of the curve.

Thinking of a summer move? Here is what you need to know about Calgary’s June market. 🌳☀️

We’ve officially entered the early summer market, and the data shows a clear divide. While detached homes continue to see high demand and lower inventory, the apartment and townhouse sectors are offering a much more balanced—and even buyer-favouring—experience.

For families, this is the sweet spot. Securing a property in June often means a late August possession, letting you enjoy the summer and get the kids settled before the first bell rings in September.

💾 Save this post for your search, or comment "JUNE" below for a snapshot of what’s happening in your specific neighbourhood!

The spring market has been in full swing, and the latest Calgary Real Estate Board numbers show some very interesting trends. We are officially transitioning away from the intense seller's market conditions we saw during the peak of rapid migration growth.

Overall, Calgary is moving into a more balanced territory. Total residential inventory is up slightly, giving buyers more breathing room and more options across the city. The city-wide benchmark price is now sitting at $570,500.

However, the real story is the split between property types:
Detached Homes: Supply remains limited, keeping conditions tighter. The benchmark price is $747,800.
Apartment Condos: Inventory is up 4% over long-term trends. With over four months of supply, conditions strongly favour the buyer. The benchmark price is $300,400.

Why do some Calgary communities consistently outperform others? 🏡

While citywide headlines tell one story, the real action is in the micro-markets. In Calgary’s west and northwest, areas like Discovery Ridge and Aspen Woods, we see resilient demand driven by lifestyle and long-term fundamentals.

Buyers and investors are looking for more than just a home; they are looking for stability. Resale demand remains high in these pockets because of the proximity to amenities and quality schools. If you are looking to build equity, prioritizing neighbourhood quality and understanding local development patterns is the most important step you can take.

Are you curious about the value of your home in these key areas? DM me for a custom market analysis.

Is it time to buy a detached home or a condo in Calgary? 🏠🏢

I’m seeing a big divide in our local market lately. Detached homes are getting snapped up quickly. With Calgary’s growing population and a solid job market, the demand for low-density housing is higher than ever. If you own a house, you’re in a very strong position.

On the flip side, the condo market is feeling a bit crowded. Many units from the recent construction boom are hitting the market at once. While the entry price is lower, the competition for buyers is much stiffer. Investors need to be careful, carrying costs and slower appreciation can really impact your bottom line.

Whether you are looking for more space or your next investment, it pays to look at the fundamentals.

What are you seeing in your neighbourhood? Let’s chat in the comments.

Is Southeast Calgary the best-kept secret for new investors? 🌳

I’ve spent 25 years watching Calgary grow, and right now, the SE is hitting a sweet spot for buyers.

Many people think you have to choose between an affordable price and a great neighbourhood. In communities like Riverbend, Mahogany, and Inglewood, you actually get both. You’re buying into areas with established schools, shopping, and beautiful parks, things that keep tenants happy and vacancy rates low.

With ongoing city investment and sustainable new builds, these properties are designed for long-term growth, not just short-term savings. It’s an accessible way to build wealth without the typical barriers to entry.
