Calgary Affordability Improved | we make real estate simple. Whether youâre an investor, homeowner, or tenant.
Q2 2026 brought a positive shift for Calgaryâs housing affordability, with our city standing out as one of only six major metros to register quarterly improvement according to the latest monitor. This marks a remarkable 10th consecutive quarter of progressâevidence that affordability, while still below long-term averages in every market tracked, continues to trend in the right direction here in Calgary. The recent gains were mainly due to declining home prices, which managed to offset slightly higher mortgage ratesâa notable change from the earlier recovery phase where rate drops were the primary driver. As we look ahead, major lenders suggest that future affordability gains will likely depend on stable home prices and income growth, rather than further rate relief. At MaxWell Gold Realty, our approach is rooted in financial expertise and a commitment to guiding clients through evolving market conditions, ensuring youâre equipped with the insights you need to make confident real estate decisions.
