1. Mortgage Rates (Lower for Longer)
During the early stages of the pandemic, Q2 2020, the Bank of Canada lowered lending rates to historical lows of 0.25 percent and it appears they have every intention of keeping rates lower for longer. The Bank of Canada has given guidance that current rates could last into 2023.
2. Calgary - Affordability - Near the Best in Canada

3. Single Family Sector Will Continue to Outperform!
As more and more people are working from home, the appetite for more space and larger yards will be an ongoing theme in 2021. In my 22 years of selling Real Estate, I've never heard " Main Floor Den" so often!
4. Calgary - Staging a Notable Comeback
Calgary’s housing market staged a fairly solid comeback since the summer of 2020. Rock-bottom interest rates and savings built up during the pandemic helped reinvigorate demand and drive down inventories. Home prices got a modest boost, lifting them above previous year levels for the first time in two years—unfortunately condo prices are still trending lower.
