Population growth, jobs, and affordability — here’s why Calgary remains one of Canada’s most resilient housing markets.

Calgary’s real estate market continues to show strong housing growth, supported by steady population growth, stable employment rates, and relative affordability compared to other major Canadian cities. Families, professionals, and newcomers are attracted to Calgary for its quality schools, safe neighbourhoods, and diverse housing options that suit a wide range of budgets.

Economic stability remains a key driver of market strength. Expanding industries, job creation, and business investment continue to attract new residents, increasing both rental demand and homeownership activity. Major infrastructure projects, including new transit expansions and thoughtfully planned community developments, further enhance property values, connectivity, and overall livability.

At 2% Realty Calgary, we closely monitor these market trends and economic indicators to help our clients make strategic real estate decisions. Identifying high growth areas and understanding where future development is concentrated allows investors to target emerging communities with strong appreciation potential, while buyers can secure homes in neighbourhoods positioned for long term value.

Calgary’s housing market remains competitive because it successfully balances affordability, economic opportunity, and lifestyle appeal, making it one of Canada’s most attractive markets for both homeowners and real estate investors.
