    Falling home prices drive record 10th straight quarter of affordability gains

    It’s been a remarkable run—housing affordability has improved for the 10th straight quarter. Despite higher mortgage rates, the drop in home prices has helped keep payments at 51.1% of median income. In my 40+ years as a Calgary Realtor, I’ve seen cycles come and go, but this balance between prices and rates is a unique moment.

  • Why Calgary AB Conversions Still Work | Professional Real Estate Agent Since 1978

    Calgary has led office-to-residential conversions, representing ~40% of activity over the past 5 yr while addressing persistent downtown office vacancy pressures locally.
    A city grant of $75 per sq-ft at completion has helped make projects workable when buildings cost $50-$100 per sq-ft before construction.
    Construction still runs ~$300-$400 per sq-ft, and Calgary recently added $25M for another phase, with even stronger incentives now aimed at hotels.
    Local support has drawn private capital, with $4 invested for every $1 of grant funding, helped by Calgary's population spike and housing demand.
    Looking ahead, Calgary's clearest conversion opportunities appear to be older B and C office buildings, especially when reusable systems and faster timelines improve cost certainty.
