As a born-and-raised Calgarian who’s spent nearly two decades guiding families through this city’s evolving real estate market, I always pay close attention to the numbers behind the headlines. The latest year-end outlook projects Calgary home prices to rise between 1% and 2% by late Q4 2026. That’s a notable show of resilience—especially considering that the broader national forecast has been dialed back after a softer third quarter. Higher borrowing costs and ongoing economic uncertainty have kept many buyers on the sidelines, giving those who are actively searching a bit more negotiating power. Yet, despite these headwinds, Calgary stands out: our market is still expected to see price gains even when others are slowing down. This echoes what I’ve seen firsthand—whether you’re navigating your first purchase, eyeing an investment, or looking for a place with renovation potential, Calgary’s housing market continues to offer opportunity for those who know where to look.
