The path to restoring pre-pandemic housing affordability in Calgary is slowly getting clearer, but there’s still work ahead. For affordability to truly return by 2036, Calgary will need to welcome between 4,000 and 5,000 new housing units each year. Recent months have seen a dip in housing starts, though numbers still sit above our historical average—a sign of our city’s resilience and ongoing demand. There’s some unease around the potential repeal of rezoning, even as new permit activity rises and a non-market housing strategy is on the horizon, waiting for approval. As someone who’s spent over a decade guiding Calgarians—whether they’re taking their first step onto the property ladder, upsizing for a growing family, or relocating from across the globe—I see firsthand how these shifts shape real life for clients. My background in sales and interior design means I’m always watching for opportunities and challenges in Calgary’s evolving market to help you navigate each move with clarity and calm.
