November brought solid retention, with both renewals and rent collection on the rise. Showings and new rentals dipped slightly, but the trend tells a positive story: tenants are staying longer and the portfolio remains steady.

📊 CREA’s 2025–2026 Housing Forecast: What You Need to Know

Thinking about buying that unique home? Here's why 2025 is your golden year!

Picture this: it's 25 years ago, and you're buying your dream home. Fast forward to today, and you'd be sitting on quite a nest egg, right? But here's the good news—you haven't missed the boat just yet. 2025 presents an incredible opportunity, especially in Calgary’s luxury real estate market.

You see, this summer has marked the strongest buyer’s market in over a decade, offering significant advantages. With about 35% more sellers than buyers nationwide, and a similar trend echoed in Calgary, there's a rare chance to negotiate and score the perfect home. Despite mortgage rates being higher than pandemic lows, they've seen a slight dip, and more buyers are jumping back in. This creates the perfect storm of increased inventory and decreased competition.

Be Ready to Act: While inventory is rising, homes that get attention don’t stay on the market for long. Know what you want and be ready to move when you see it!

Plan Long-Term: If you're planning to hold onto your home for 5+ years, you're looking at a favorable investment! Less competition means you can pick the home you really love without rushing.

Consider Your Finances: Even with elevated rates, focusing on your financial stability and securing a mortgage now means you can always refinance if rates drop later.

Time It Right: Mid-October is projected to be one of the best weeks to buy, with less competition and potential savings of over $15,000 on a home!

Calgary’s luxury market is uniquely positioned for those who appreciate strategy and patience, and as your trusted real estate expert, I'm here to navigate these waters with you.

Thermal Cameras are great for protecting my clients from purchasing a property with extra risks, and also for getting even with my children for all the 0.5 pictures they take of my nose.

Thanks to Paws & Play for a great night of Adulty-Kid games (or kiddy adult games) and for the Acroyoga. We got to play Disco Snail Races, Don't drop the box, Book-Ends, and 'how much animal are you?'. Next one is on November 14 where we are all celebrating our birthday or unbirthday.
