Calgary Real Estate is UNDERVALUED.
Fiver years ago I started selling pre-construction properties in Calgary because the city offered fundamentals that I couldn’t find in the GTA -incredible potential for appreciation, positive cash flow, and strong rental demand. Smart investors are shifting their investments from Toronto and Vancouver because they recognized the incredible potential - I have now helped over 500 people from across Canada to buy pre-construction properties in Calgary.

Calgary Is My Top City for Investment
I strongly believe in the Toronto/GTA and Vancouver markets long-term but I’m sick and tired of getting gouged by government fees and taxes. You pay nearly 10% of the value of the property for the pleasure of closing on it - development charges and land transfer taxes are completely out of control. Instead, use that cash for the down-payment on a property in Calgary - the basic investment fundaments just make sense - Calgary prices 50% lower than Toronto or Vancouver, Rents are higher per dollar invested and properties are Cash Flow Positive:
Landlord Tenant Rights
Simply put - the Ontario landlord-tenant board is broken with some people waiting up to 6 years before their hearings , with a backlog of 36,000 applications. Not to mention that over 50% of applications in Toronto have been reported as fraudulent. If you run into any issues in Ontario with your tenant, good luck! You are not going to get relief from the government any time soon.
Alberta does not have these issues and natural eviction methods are built into the system there if your tenant is not able to pay their rent. Let’s compare the provinces (and BC isn’t much better than Ontario). Being a Calgary landlord is a dream and landlord rights are actually enforced.
Case Study Successes
East Hills Crossing (East Calgary)
This is a pre-construction condo I personally bought:
Type: 2 Bedroom, 2 Bath, 710sf, Parking & Locker • East Calgary • Bought Oct 2020
Purchase Price: $245,690 • Deposit: $12,285 • Rental Guarantee : $1,283/mo.
CURRENT MARKET VALUE: $345,000 • CURRENT RENT: $1,600/mo.
GAIN: $99,310 • RATE OF RETURN: 814%
I put down a deposit of only $12,285 and it has appreciated nearly $10,000 - a return of 814% on the deposit I put down. Rental rates in the area are now well above the guaranteed rental amount and the property pays me every month.
Yorke Townhomes (NE Calgary)
Clients who invested in Yorke Townhomes “hit a homerun”:
Type: 3 bed, 3 bath Townhome, 1,248sf, Tandem Garage • NE Calgary • June 2021
Purchase Price: $369,900 • Deposit: $36,990 • Rental Guarantee: $1,900
CURRENT MARKET VALUE: $470,000 • CURRENT RENT: $2,150/mo.
GAIN: $100,100 • RATE OF RETURN: 271%
These townhomes are now closing and investors are taking possession. Units have been appraised at $470k, that’s a gain of $100,000, a 271% return)!
Calgary is a Canadian Powerhouse
No one was talking about Calgary 2 years ago. Prior to the pandemic, Calgary’s real estate was in a period of decline, still recovering from its 2015/15 recession. Real estate prices had fallen from the peaks and were (and still are) considerably lower than the national average. As the pandemic hit, grave concerns about Calgary’s economy were raised due to the steep decline in oil prices with oil hitting -$40/barrel at one point. Even in the face of this, real estate generally saw less than a 1% decrease in price during the second quarter of 2020. By the end of the year, overall prices only decreased by 0.68%, after having dipped by 3.4% and 1.68% in 2019 and 2018, respectively. That situation has complete changed today and Alberta is now leading economy growth in Canada (and the growth is not related to oil & gas)!
Calgary has the largest concentration of head offices in the country and the second-largest concentration of small businesses—signs of an economy with diversity and growth. It acts as a major hub for transportation for the Prairies, eastern British Columbia and some parts of the northern United States. The IT Technology and Green Technology sectors are exploding in Calgary and becoming very important parts of the economy. Companies continue to setup operations in Calgary and many are moving their headquarters to the city and it shows - people are now flocking to the city for those well paying jobs and incredibly affordable lifestyle.
