Move to Alberta for Lower Living Costs | Real Estate is more than buying and selling - it's about making the right move.
Alberta continues to attract homebuyers from across Canada, and it’s easy to see why. Our province offers a diverse range of housing options—from condominiums and townhouses to single family homes—at price points that are often far more accessible than in other Canadian cities. Alberta’s reputation for lower housing prices and rental costs means buyers and renters can enjoy greater flexibility and choice.

One of the key advantages here is that Albertans typically spend a much smaller share of their income on home ownership compared to the national average. For those exploring the Calgary market (where I’ve had the privilege to help clients for nearly three decades), that translates into more opportunities to find the right fit without overstretching financially.

Whether you choose to work with a REALTOR® or pursue a private sale, Alberta provides multiple paths to home ownership. Just remember: a land title search is a crucial part of the process—something I always make sure my clients understand before moving forward on a purchase. After helping guide over 1,000 families through the buying journey, I know firsthand how important it is to get these steps right.

September Brings More Affordable Homes to Calgary Buyers
September brought a shift in Calgary’s real estate landscape, with home sales dipping 3.8%—1,650 properties changed hands. We also saw the benchmark price ease slightly, down 0.8% to $566,700. Apartment prices experienced the sharpest drop at 8.3%, row homes followed at 5.5%, and detached homes slipped by 1%. Interestingly, semi-detached homes managed a modest 0.1% increase. New listings and inventory both declined as well. Having spent nearly three decades guiding clients through these cycles, I’ve learned that understanding these subtle market movements is essential for making confident decisions—whether you’re buying, selling, or just keeping an eye on your property’s value. As always, I’m here to help you read between the numbers and chart your best course in Calgary’s ever-evolving market.

Canada Housing Starts Trend Down 1.3% | Real Estate is more than buying and selling - it's about making the right move.
Housing starts across Canada are trending down about 1.3%, with the six-month rolling average dipping just under 1% month-over-month in mid-Q3—now sitting at roughly 244,000 annualized units. The monthly pace held steady near 229,000 units, but it’s the year-over-year numbers in larger centres that catch my eye: 17,700 actual starts in mid-Q3, which is about 2% lower than last year, and brings the year-to-date total to 149,500, down 4%. For those of us keeping a close watch on supply, homes under construction in centres over 50,000 people have only slipped by less than 1% month-over-month to 371,700 units—still a significant pipeline, even as things cool slightly.

What stands out is the sharper drop in completions, down 11% from the previous month to 17,600 units. Meanwhile, permits approved but not yet started have ticked up slightly to 142,400, suggesting that future projects are still lining up. The bigger picture? While starts remain higher than in recent years, we’re seeing a clear moderation as we approach year-end. Having navigated Calgary’s market through many cycles, I know how these shifts can affect both buyers and sellers. Staying informed about the evolving supply landscape helps you make confident decisions—whether you're considering a move, a build, or a renovation.

Nestled on a quiet, low-traffic street, this oversized property offers an incredible combination of inner-city convenience and secluded parkland tranquility. The unique topography features a commanding elevation at the front, providing a stately build site that overlooks the sprawling, private backyard as it moves toward the water. This is a clear, ready-to-build canvas with no demolition required, offering ample room for a custom home, oversize garage, and a deep outdoor oasis. Life here is a four-season experience. Enjoy the peaceful, treed backdrop of the lagoon in the summer and your own skating rink in the winter, a luxury shared with only five neighboring families. Just steps away from the extensive pathway network connecting you to Bowness Park, Baker Park, Bowmont Park, and the Bowmont Island Off-leash area. Despite the nature-first feel, you remain minutes away from the Foothills Hospital, U of C, downtown, and the gateway to the Rocky Mountains. Own one of the most versatile and private park-side parcels in Calgary.

Calgary Homebuyers Enjoy Big Savings as Prices Drop
It’s an interesting time in Calgary real estate: roughly 85% of homes in Greater Calgary are now selling below the asking price, with the average discount sitting at 2.29%. For those eyeing more affordable homes and condos, the savings can be even bigger—while high-end, million-dollar properties are often seeing bidding wars and selling above list. Even as overall sales have dipped by 16%, demand for luxury homes is actually climbing. After nearly three decades of guiding buyers and sellers through shifting markets, I know how quickly local dynamics can change. If you’re weighing your next move—whether you’re hoping to maximize savings or strategize in the luxury segment—it pays to approach with both flexibility and solid market insight.
