Calgary's Housing Market Update

Tue, 04 Apr 2023 23:33:47 GMT

Calgary's Housing Market: What's Behind the Skyrocketing Prices?

Calgary Real Estate and Rental Market Update
April 1, 2023 - Written by Jamie Palmer, President/Broker of Power Properties

At the time of writing, the average price of a detached home in Calgary is $708,095! Prices are up 6% compared to March 2022, which itself was 12% higher than March 2021! On top of that, It is anticipated that prices will continue to increase this year! Everyone wants to know what is causing these increases, how long are they likely to last, and is now a good time to buy rental properties?

Immigration and Affordability Fuel Housing Demand in Calgary

The primary driver of price increases is demand fuelled by increasing immigration and population growth in Alberta. Alberta’s population grew by over 60,000 people in 2022. All of these people need somewhere to live and unfortunately (or fortunately depending on if you are a landlord), Alberta has the lowest housing per capita ratio in Canada… Alberta would need to build 138,000 housing units just to be average in Canada, assuming no further population growth, and for perspective, Alberta only had 35,000 housing starts in 2022. So there is a severe imbalance between housing demand and supply, one that is effectively baked in for several years to come, as we can’t build homes fast enough to meet growth.

Much of what is driving immigration to Calgary is the difference in affordability between major cities in Canada, Vancouver and Toronto’s average price for detached homes is still well over a million dollars, and the average household income is lower in both cities compared to Calgary, making Calgary a perceived bargain. So while most Calgarians are gobsmacked at the notion that an average house is $708,000, Torontonians and Vancouverites look and think “what a deal”! There is a similar difference in rents as well, with the average two-bedroom apartment in Toronto costing $3200/month, a number that can get you a nice suburban house in Calgary.

Calgary's Booming Industries Set to Drive Continued Growth for Years to Come

So the next question is how long will this last? By all indications, Calgary can expect continued increases for the next several years to come. While we are unlikely to see sky-high oil prices due to expectations of a looming worldwide recession, Alberta has numerous other industries that are set to boom including both green and blue hydrogen production, and lithium production. Alberta may have five times more lithium than the rest of Canada, and likely more than all of North America, and it’s relatively easy to extract. So in a world looking for politically safe, environmentally responsible energy and mineral supplies, Alberta is exceptionally well positioned. This is creating well-paying jobs, which in turn is continuing to attract workers from across Canada and around the world.

Real Estate Market Trends Suggest Now is the Time to Invest

With the above in mind and as my father always told me, the best time to buy real estate was twenty years ago, the second best time is now… With both values and rents expected to continue to increase over the next several years, now is certainly a good time to purchase properties. Having said that, it is important to understand that rents lag sales prices by six months to a year, so it is very difficult to purchase a property and have it produce positive cash flow in the first year. It takes time for the rent to catch up to the sale price so to speak, and this should be budgeted for when you consider purchasing another property.

Preparing to Sell Your Home?

Thu, 23 Mar 2023 21:48:47 GMT

4 Effective TIPS to help you in preparing to List

1. Depersonalize, Declutter & Clean

One of the most important things you can do to prepare your home for listing is to depersonalize, declutter and clean it thoroughly. Depersonalizing will allow potential buyers to see themselves living in the house. While decluttering and cleaning will make your home appear more spacious and attractive to potential buyers.

2. Make Repairs

Take care of any small repairs that need to be done around the house, such as fixing leaky faucets, restaining/repairing decks & fences, repairing or replacing broken tiles and/or flooring etc. Also, be sure to have your furnace inspected and cleaned.

This will help you avoid any of these issues that might come up during a home inspection and make your home more appealing to potential buyers.

3. Improve Curb Appeal

The exterior of your home is the first thing potential buyers will see, so make sure it looks its best. This may involve adding some landscaping, repairing/replacing damaged grass, power washing the exterior, or painting the front door.

4. Stage Your Home

Home staging involves arranging your furniture and decor in a way that highlights your home's best features and makes it look more appealing to buyers. You may want to consider hiring a professional stager to help with this.

10 Home Maintenance Tips for Spring

Tue, 21 Mar 2023 18:36:11 GMT

Spring Home Maintenance Checklist for YYC HomeOwners

1: Inspect Your Roof

Calgary winters can be harsh, so it's essential to inspect your roof for any damage. Check for missing or damaged shingles, leaks, and cracks. If you're uncomfortable climbing onto your roof, hire a roofing professional to inspect you.

If you notice any damage, make repairs as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your home. Remember, a damaged roof can lead to water damage inside your home.

Also, clear any debris or leaves from your gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage.

2: Check Your Home's Exterior

Inspect the exterior of your home for any damage caused by winter weather. Check for cracks in the foundation, damaged siding or brickwork, and peeling paint.

If you find any damage, make repairs as soon as possible to prevent further damage and maintain your home's curb appeal.

Additionally, check your windows and doors for any damage or drafts. Replace any damaged or worn weatherstripping to improve your home's energy efficiency.

3: Inspect Your HVAC System

Spring is the perfect time to have your HVAC system inspected by a professional. They will ensure that your system is running efficiently and identify any potential issues before they become costly repairs.

Additionally, replace your air filter to improve indoor air quality and prolong the life of your system.

Finally, consider having your air ducts cleaned to remove any dirt or debris that may have accumulated over the winter.

4: Test Your Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Testing your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors should be done regularly to ensure they are functioning correctly. Replace any batteries that are low or expired.

If you don't have a carbon monoxide detector, consider installing one to protect your family from this silent killer.

Remember, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors save lives.

5: Clean Your Chimney

If you have a wood-burning fireplace or stove, have your chimney cleaned by a professional. Creosote buildup can cause a chimney fire, so it's essential to have it cleaned regularly.

Also, inspect your fireplace or stove for any damage and repair it before using it again.

Finally, ensure that your fire extinguisher is up to date and in good working condition.

6: Check Your Plumbing

Inspect your plumbing for any leaks or damage. Check around your water heater, under sinks, and around the toilets.

If you notice any leaks, make repairs as soon as possible to prevent water damage and mold growth.

Additionally, consider having your water heater flushed to remove any sediment that accumulated over the winter.

7: Clean Your Gutters

Clear any debris or leaves from your gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage. Clogged gutters can cause water damage to your home's foundation, siding, and roof.

If you're not comfortable cleaning your gutters, hire a professional to do it for you.

Finally, consider installing gutter guards to prevent debris from accumulating in your gutters.

8: Check Your Attic

Inspect your attic for any signs of moisture or leaks. Look for water stains, mold growth, and damaged insulation.

If you notice any issues, make repairs as soon as possible to prevent further damage and improve your home's energy efficiency.

Additionally, ensure that your attic vents are clear of debris to improve ventilation.

9: Clean Your Windows

Clean your windows inside and out to improve your home's curb appeal and let more natural light into your home.

Additionally, check your window screens for any damage and make repairs as needed.

Finally, consider upgrading your windows to more energy-efficient models to save money on your energy bills.

10: Prepare Your Lawn and Garden

Spring is the perfect time to prepare your lawn and garden for the growing season. Rake up any leaves or debris and aerate your lawn to promote healthy growth.

Additionally, prune any dead or damaged branches from your trees and shrubs and plant any new flowers or vegetables.

Finally, ensure that your irrigation system is in good working condition and adjust it as needed to ensure proper watering.
