After 18 years guiding Calgary families through every kind of market, I’m always watching for shifts that matter. This past quarter, Calgary saw housing affordability improve—a milestone that puts us among just six major metros with positive movement, according to the latest monitor. It’s part of a record 10-quarter streak of progress, which is not something we see every cycle. But even with this encouraging news, we’re still not quite back to the historical norm for affordability—there’s more work ahead for everyone searching for a home.
What’s driving this? Recently, falling home prices have done more to help buyers than mortgage rates, which have edged up a bit. The experts don’t expect rates to ease soon, so it’ll be steady incomes and careful home-price trends that make the real difference. For anyone navigating these changes—whether you’re buying your first place or planning your next move—I’m here to share what I’ve learned, so you can make every decision count.
