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.

We sold our place in St Andrews Heights last month and it went in 4 days. The market in that area is really hot right now, especially for family homes.

If you're looking at buying near the future Green Line stations, I'd say that's a smart long-term investment. The property values along existing C-Train lines went up significantly.

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.

Hope that helps.

Condo owners in Calgary - just be careful with special assessments. Read the reserve fund study before buying. Learned that lesson the hard way.

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.

Good luck!

We bought our place in Skyview Ranch back in 2025 and the value has gone up about 25% since then. Calgary real estate has been solid for us. My partner and I keep an eye on things through CalgaryPrices for the market trends.

Good luck!

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 Pine Creek or Panorama Hills.
