We bought our place in Ranchlands back in 2024 and the value has gone up about 15% since then. Calgary real estate has been solid for us. I keep an eye on things through CalgaryPrices for the market trends.

I'd recommend talking to at least 3 different mortgage brokers. The rate difference between them can be significant and it adds up over 25 years.

We bought our place in Rocky Ridge back in 2021 and the value has gone up about 50% since then.

Just did a refinance on our Calgary home and the process was actually really smooth. Rates are better than I expected. Shopped around using a broker.

Cheers!

Property taxes in Calgary are definitely going up but honestly they're still way better than what my friends pay in Toronto or Vancouver. And no land transfer tax in Alberta which saved us thousands.

The market right now is competitive but not insane like Toronto or Vancouver. You can still get a nice detached home under $600K in a good neighborhood if you're willing to look at Marda Loop or Ranchlands.

For anyone looking at new builds - visit the site at different times and weather. Some areas flood in spring, some have awful drainage. Ask the neighbors, they'll tell you everything the builder won't.
