Then we zoom out. ⚡ Alberta energy expansion & investment upside 🔋 Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) & the future of nuclear 🌎 EVs, clean energy & whether green policy makes economic sense ☀️ Solar farms & grid stability 🏢 Data centres & long-term development prospects We also dive into the issues shaping Canada’s future: 🇨🇦 Alberta separation — what would Alberta look like without Canada? 🇺🇸 Does the U.S. need Canada more than we think? 📊 Jobs, employment growth & where we actually need labour 🎓 Engineering grants & attracting brilliant minds 🌍 Immigration & economic impact 🏥 Health care — pros, cons, and sustainability 📦 CUSMA, tariffs & trade uncertainty

And finally… 💭 What keeps leaders up at night 👀 The one thing to watch for next

The pace of new listings growth has slowed, preventing further inventory gains.

Watch the Episode on YouTube

October ended with 6,471 homes on the market and 1,885 sales, bringing the months of supply down to 3.5 months — a sign of balance returning in some segments… and pressure building in others.

In this video, I break down: 🔸 Why detached and semi-detached homes are holding steady 🔸 Why condos and row homes are seeing record-high inventory 🔸 What buyers and sellers can really expect heading into winter 🔸 And why Calgary is a “micro-climate” for real estate — where one side of the city can be cooling while another is heating up.

💬 The truth? The market isn’t crashing — it’s correcting. And that means opportunity if you know where to look.

💎 If your home has it, name it. Don’t just say ‘lighting’ — say ‘custom designer lighting.’ It matters.

WatchonYouTube

🛠️ TIP #2: Upgrades Add Value — But Only If You Mention Them 📅 Did you upgrade your furnace last year? Re-shingle the roof with a 25-year warranty? Replace all the windows with triple-pane low-E glass?

📣 Buyers won’t know unless your REALTOR® tells them — not just in person, but right there in the listing description, video, and feature sheet.

⚙️ Upgrades show that your home has been cared for, and that translates to buyer confidence.

🖼️ TIP #3: Customization = Identity 🪞 Every luxury home tells a story — and it’s written in the details. A custom walnut-paneled office. A spa steam shower with aromatherapy. Hand-forged iron railings. Art niche lighting.

🧠 These details are what set your home apart from the one down the street. They’re not ‘extras’ — they’re selling points.

📋 TIP #4: Buyers Will Compare — So Give Them Reasons to Choose Yours 🔍 Luxury buyers often tour several homes. They’ll start comparing: Who has the better kitchen? Who has the more efficient HVAC? Who has the smart home integration?

🏆 If your home’s been upgraded or customized in ways others haven’t — highlight it. That’s what makes it memorable and desirable.

💬 TIP #5: Your REALTOR® Should Be Your Home’s Storyteller 📢 Your agent isn’t just selling four walls — they’re selling every decision you made that added value, comfort, and elegance to your home.

🧑‍💼 They need to know the features, mention them clearly in every showing, and include them in the video, photos, and print materials. They’re not just listing your home — they’re marketing a masterpiece.

📢 So if you’re preparing to sell — walk through your home, and write down everything that’s custom, upgraded, or new. It’s all part of your home’s value — and it all matters.

Key Points in the Episode:

📍Interest Rate Prediction 📍Housing Price Prediction  📍What's Driving the Market 📍Supply and Demand Situation 📍Affordable Housing

Note:  We had a bit of buffering at times.... but I think it's still worth your time.  

If you would like more detail on what was prepared and present by  CREB® Chief Economist Ann-Marie Lurie at the Forecast, the following is a summary: (Scroll to the bottom for a Link to the Report) ⬇️

The report included a detailed analysis of Calgary's economic and housing market trends and surrounding areas for the upcoming year. The report delves into the impact of rising lending rates on the housing sector, as buyers looked for more affordable housing options, and some potential sellers held back from listing to navigate the challenges posed by higher lending rates.   Chief Economist Ann-Marie Lurie underscores this dynamic, stating, "Despite higher rates, 2023 was a year of relatively strong sales thanks to a robust labour market and strong migration. The challenge was limited supply, especially for low-priced homes with the strongest demand. This resulted in significant price growth with the largest gains in our lowest-priced homes.”   As the report looks ahead to 2024, Lurie anticipates another strong year for sales, stating, "We expect potential buyers, who were on the sidelines due to limited supply choices, to re-enter the market as lending rates ease and listings improve. At the same time, interprovincial migration and a healthy labour market should continue to support stronger sales activity.”   Supply remains an issue this year, but gains in new home starts and new listings are expected to support some modest gains.   “Conditions are not expected to be as tight as in 2023," Lurie said, "but supply growth takes time, and sellers’ market conditions are expected to persist through the spring, driving further price growth in 2024.”   Supply growth is anticipated to be driven mainly by upper price ranges, decelerating the pace of price growth for higher-priced properties. Meanwhile, lower-priced properties are expected to face continued tight conditions, contributing to sustained price gains.

Ann-Marie has over 25 years of experience in the real estate sector. She has had the opportunity to work in several different aspects of real estate including commercial brokerage, pension investment, residential real estate analysis and multi-family underwriting.  Ann-Marie joined CREB® as the Chief Economist in 2011 where she is responsible for scoping, developing and delivering economic analysis and market intelligence products.  Ann-Marie has completed both her BA Honors and MA in Economics from the University of Calgary.

This house has four bedrooms, three full baths, a double attached garage, and a separate entrance to a lower level suite should you want a little mortgage helper and rent out the lower level. I'm going to say it is an illegal suite, meaning it is not registered with the city of Calgary, however take a look at the video, a very comfortable living space.

Citadel is in the northwest quadrant of the city of Calgary. It is in close proximity to Stony Trail and Country Hills Boulevard. Without all the traffic noise. You could literally walk to the Super Store or go for a little pizza for dinner. The amenities are abundant in this community and yes there's even a Costco!

Check out the full listing of details and call your favourite REALTOR today. This house will not last.

The tight market conditions contributed to further upward pressure on prices. The unadjusted benchmark price in January reached $472,300, a monthly gain of nearly two per cent and a year-over-year gain of 12 per cent.

“Expected gains in lending rates are contributing to persistently strong demand in the housing market, as purchasers are eager to get ahead of any increases,” said CREB® Chief Economist Ann-Marie Lurie. “We did see more listings this month, but it did little to change the market balance or take any pressure off prices. This was expected, as these conditions should persist for several more months.”

There were 2,009 sales in January, well below record levels. At the same time, 2,476 new listings came onto the market, resulting in a sales-to-new-listings ratio of 81 per cent. This is far higher than levels traditionally recorded in January.

There is a lot of urban renewal in the area with a mixture of housing. There is also a beautiful community garden - this is from their website: Each of our gardeners rents one of our 4 x 8-foot organic beds in which they can grow and tend their choice of edible vegetables and flowers. We are a chemical-free garden so the beds have only ever been fertilized with natural products and compost. We also have a few smaller, more accessible beds for folks with physical limitations. Our garden is always open to visitors and we encourage everyone to come and see its many unique features. We have a large Saskatoon patch, fruit trees, and a Little Free Library. There are seating areas, an accessible pathway and bee and butterfly houses to attract pollinators.

While the produce grown in the individual beds belongs to the gardener who planted and tended to it, we do have assigned tasting and sharing beds where our guests can try whatever is in season. And guests are always welcome to harvest some of our gargantuan rhubarb or snip some herbs from the herb spiral. The tarragon does tend to take off if it’s not clipped often. Some of our flowering plants in the garden were transplanted from Midfield Mobile Home Park before it closed, so we also have a living connection to our neighbourhood history.

The Indigenous medicinal bed also connects us to our prairie roots. As you can imagine, it takes a village to maintain our garden. Each of our gardeners makes a commitment of 6 hours of service when they register to rent their bed. Throughout the summer, we work in teams to keep the perimeter plantings and structures looking their best. We also have several community members who don’t rent beds, but who like to get their hands dirty. The time and enthusiasm that they contribute to the garden is invaluable to us. We call them Friends of the Garden. Anyone can join this group of volunteers simply by sending us an email.

There is a new development coming soon to the area by the City of Calgary too! Tune in for more info.

If you’re interested in downsizing, you will have needs that are different than those of buyers looking for a home for a growing family. You may want to work with an agent who has represented other buyers who wanted to downsize. An agent with that experience may be able to help you figure out what is truly important to you and provide useful insights based on the experiences of other clients who have downsized.

Interview at least a few real estate agents before you make a decision. Speaking with agents one-on-one will give you an opportunity to explain your goals, preferences and budget and to learn more about each individual’s approach and personality. Request references from recent customers and contact them to inquire about their experiences and opinions. That will help you figure out which agent will be the best match for you.

Spanning 49 acres between Fort Calgary and the downtown business core, East Village’s central location along the banks of the Bow River makes it a highly desirable piece of real estate. It’s hardly surprising that East Village was where downtown Calgary first began – the site where our city was founded.

Fast forward to today. East Village is in the midst of an exciting transformation. Since 2007, CMLC’s commitment of $396 million into infrastructure and development programs has so far attracted nearly $3 billion of planned development. As developers and retailers have come to see the value of the East Village transformation, our available inventory of land has been snapped up.

About the park

Nose Hill Natural Environment Park lies in the northwest part of the city, surrounded by 12 residential communities. The park was created in 1980 and covers over 11 square kilometers. The hill most likely gets its name from the fact that, from certain locations and with a little imagination, it looks like a nose. Experience nature in the city Take a hike on the hill, but slow down to appreciate the Rough Fescue grassland that you are passing through. Nose Hill Park contains one of the most significant examples of this grassland ecosystem left on the Canadian prairies. From the plateau, there are vistas including the Rocky Mountains, Bow River Valley and the vast plains to the east. Plant life The trees, shrubs and wildflowers in the coulees are very different from the species found in the fescue grassland. Apart from the native grasses, one of the dominant species in the park is the Trembling Aspen. The aspen, along with the willows occupy the north-facing slopes of the coulees and provide a refuge for many of the wild animals living in the park. Wildlife Large mammals such as deer and coyotes can be seen roaming the grasslands and coulees. The park is home to porcupines, northern pocket gophers, Richardson's ground squirrels and several species of mice and voles. These smaller mammals are the main prey for the northern harriers and Swainson's hawks, which are often seen in the skies above the park. Please note: Coyotes are generally not a threat to people but should be treated with respect. Never approach or feed a coyote. For more information, or to report sightings/encounters, visit calgary.ca/coyotes. History Nose Hill and Broadcast Hill, which lies on the other side of the Bow River Valley, are the two remaining examples of the high plains which once covered this area. Ancient rivers, successive glaciers and their run-off have eroded the landscape producing the surrounding valleys and lowlands, leaving the two hills towering over the area. The most recent glaciers left their mark in the form of "glacial erratics" which consist of rocks and debris carried from other places and deposited in the park. One such erratic is on the east side of Nose Hill and was once a part of Mount Edith Cavell in Jasper National Park. The park contains significant archaeological sites, including stone circles. These were formed by using stones to hold down the edges of tipis and are called "tipi rings". Because of its height, the hill was also a sacred place used for ceremonies and burials. European settlers began using the area in the late 1800s for farming and ranching. Large areas of the plateau have been ploughed and planted to agricultural crops. Some of these areas are being returned to native grassland. There is an old gravel pit on the plateau which is slowly being reclaimed by nature. In the '80s, much of the park was destined for residential development. However, vigorous citizen action saved the land for the magnificent park we have today.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Open Floor Plans Great for Entertaining.

One of the main arguments for an open layout is that it’s ideal for hosting small get-togethers with friends and family. Combining your cooking, living and dining areas makes it easy to communicate and interact with everyone. Provide Versatility. Often centered around a large, multi-purpose area, open concept homes offer a lot of flexibility. You can create different spaces, such as a workstation, a reading area and even a media room, all in the center of the home.

More Natural Light.

With fewer walls, sunlight is able to flood your home from all angles. If you want a living space that feels bright and airy, an open floor plan will most likely have the edge in this department. Traditional Floor Plans Distinct Spaces. The way that we use our living space is always changing. These days, many luxury buyers are looking for a home where they can work remotely and their kids can learn virtually. If you want separate rooms that are free of distractions and can be used for distinct purposes, a traditional floor plan may be the better fit.

More Privacy.

Rather than having one main space where the family congregates, this layout provides more privacy throughout the home. For those who like to have their alone time, this is certainly a benefit. Additionally, it can make your home quieter because there are more walls to absorb noise.

Easier to Decorate.

Decorating a multi-purpose space can be a challenge when it comes to getting the flow right and might even require having furniture custom made. Rooms that have a specific purpose, however, are much easier to furnish because the space is more defined.

One another note, here's more info about our lovely City -

Calgary sits in the sunny eastern foothills of Canada’s Rocky Mountains, where the Bow and Elbow rivers meet. Calgary is a mountain-high city, and the climate - directly related to the altitude - is dry. Temperatures are mild, especially when compared to most of Canada, and even when it’s cold, it’s usually sunny. Even when it's so unpredictable.

In fact, the sun shines an average of 2,300 hours every year, making Calgary the sunniest major city in the country.It is the major urban centre for the entire southern half of the province of Alberta, and is surrounded by an area of profound beauty with an unspoiled, resource-rich natural environment. In 2019, Calgary ranked the most livable city in North America and the 5th most livable city in the world by the Economist Intelligence Unit. A city with diverse communities and endless opportunities, density is low, quality of life is high and housing is abundant.

The reasonable cost of living in Calgary comes as a pleasant surprise to some people. It’s more affordable to live in Calgary than in many large North American cities. Provincial tax, personal income taxes and inheritance taxes in Alberta are among the lowest in the country, and Albertans’ provincial health care insurance is free. Another bonus – Alberta is the only province in Canada without a sales tax.

Diane provides a summary of the Calgary Real Estate Board Forecast by their chief economist, Anne-Marie Lurie along with her own take on the market, that being in the action with Real Estate.

Today you will hear the predictions of:

- what is expected in 2021 for Calgary and Area Real Estate

As always, please keep in mind that this is a "forecast" based on what the experts are predicting. As we all know, life can make swift changes, be ready and be prepared as we all continue with living in a new "normal."

A forecast is not financial advice nor does it provide any guarantees. Discuss your needs with professionals and use a Realtor that knows how to help you obtain what you need.

It’s easy to get around Calgary and you will notice it has many walkable communities. The Inner City is full of culture and sweet neighbourhoods. Most people are surprised when they get here. That’s why we call it cowtown, keeping it a bit exclusive for ourselves.

Living in Calgary is like living in a Snow Globe. We have these fantastic Chinook winds that create an arch over the City and give our Winters a warmth you won’t find anywhere else. Calgary is the 5th most liveable City in North America and we have over 120 different languages spoken here. The Diversity is what makes Calgary full of Culture and what makes it unique. Which brings me to the Culinary scene.

We Calgarians take our food very seriously. Some of the Top Chef’s in the country are here and because of the diversity, we can dine on foods from around the world. From French to Brazillian, Vietnamese to 5 Star Cuisine. We love our Diners and Dim Sum. There is a thriving industry with an abundance of craft brewers and local distillers, Coffee Roasters and Farmer’s Markets. We love local.

The fun thing about Calgary is how connected the entire City is through pathways, over 1000 km of riding. Plenty of parks, fishing and something for everyone. Even a ski hill. Some people think we are land locked but they would be wrong. One of the reasons Calgary is located where it is, is due to the abundant water that flows through the City. You can Surf, Sail and when the conditions are right, float down the river on a hot summers day. Where else are you going to find a major metropolitan City with these stunning natural surroundings?

Calgarians are also creatures of habit. We tend to live in a certain quadrant to set up our nest. The City is designed with areas specific to North, East, South and West. During this show we will discuss different communities and hear from Calgarians of all ages, what makes this city a great place to live. We will also provide tips on purchasing a property here, whether you’re a first time home buyer or have a Million Dollar Listing, there is something for everyone.

I was born in Calgary and have moved around the country and even to other countries, but no matter where I roam, Canada is my home and I’m excited to share my hometown of Calgary with you. Welcome,
