Jared Chamberlain, a Calgary real estate agent, explains that the old βrent it out if it doesnβt sellβ backup plan is no longer reliable as vacancy has risen from 1.4% to over 6% amid a surge of new rental supply from record housing starts, purpose-built rentals, condos, and tripled secondary suites, while migration growth is slowing.
Landlords are offering incentives, asking rents are down nearly 8% year over year, thousands of listings sit vacant, and more units are coming, making long vacancy periods and negative cash flow more likely.
Investors are increasingly listing properties, especially apartment condos, contributing to more price reductions and most neighbourhoods selling below list.
Families in Calgary selling their homes need to price to sell based on current comps, calculate carrying costs before listing, get ahead of expected spring 2026 inventory, and work with an agent using current data.
Weβd love to hear from you! π
