As a new real estate agent here in the US, it is amazing to see how well Calgary is doing! I went skiing out there in the 90’s, beautiful area!
Great blog too!

I live in Calgary. This article didn’t point out that Calgary has RECORD levels of inventory as of today. Alberta has been rated as the second least affordable province in Canada. I strongly feel that this housing bubble is ready to burst.

As of September 20, 2007: Total Listing inventory *includes Calgary & all surrounding rural listings* is currently at 10,443 listings. This represents almost 5.75 months worth of listings at the current rate of sales. Calgary Metro listing inventory is currently 7,400 listings - about 5.25 months worth of inventory.

Considering that housing prices are so high, the amount of wealth generated by selling a house in Calgary and buying a property in the United States could be 100’s of thousands of dollars. Or you could always buy a mansion for $500G instead?
