Canada’s affordability challenges have now stretched for 10 consecutive quarters—a trend making headlines, but one that feels especially real to clients navigating the Calgary market. With little relief expected from mortgage rates this year, the spotlight shifts to home prices and income growth as the primary factors influencing what buyers and sellers can achieve. Economists suggest mortgage rates will remain steady, or may even edge higher, so any improvement in affordability will rely heavily on price moderation.

Here in Alberta, we’re seeing the impact of slower population growth, which is helping to ease demand and keep price pressures in check. At the same time, a strengthening labour market is supporting household incomes, offering some balance to the equation. It’s important to remember that every market is unique—what’s happening in Vancouver or Toronto is not the same as what we’re seeing in Calgary or Edmonton. For both buyers and sellers, understanding these local dynamics is key to navigating today’s real estate landscape.

With over three decades of combined experience, we’ve seen how cycles shift and how market specifics can shape your real estate journey. As always, our commitment is to guide clients with honest insights and a detail-oriented approach—helping you make informed decisions, no matter where the market stands.

In our Calgary market and throughout Alberta, we’re seeing some welcome stability—policy rates are holding steady and inflation pressures are easing. But as we advise our clients, true affordability depends less on interest rate speculation and more on the practical room in your household budget. If your mortgage is up for renewal soon, early planning is key. We’ve found that the first renewal offer is rarely the most competitive, so it’s well worth comparing options to ensure your payments fit comfortably. Many buyers are also leveraging suite income or help from family to make ownership work, but it’s critical to understand exactly how lenders will assess that rental income. On the supply front, we’re tracking new federal projects that are set to break ground later this year, though national housing starts are still expected to dip in 2026 compared to 2025. Whether you’re buying, renewing, or refinancing, our advice is to model out sustainable payments, compare renewal terms carefully, and weigh any refinancing options against potential penalties. Our team’s hands-on experience and analytical approach mean we’re here to help you navigate these decisions with confidence.
