The housing market in Calgary was red-hot this century until peaking in 2007. A steady influx of new residents and an exceptionally strong economy made the city one of the most desirable places in the country to own property. 

You’ll have a diverse range of choices when shopping for a home in Calgary: condo vs. house, inner city vs. suburb. With such a large selection, the home you’re looking for almost certainly exists in this city. 

Keep in mind while looking: where you live will depend heavily on where you work, whether you want to commute and the lifestyle you and your family desire. Be sure to visit the Community Map to learn more about Calgary’s communities, and what each has to offer.

If you are new to the country, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s Newcomer’s Guide to Canadian Housing has an entire chapter on buying a home, and should serve as an excellent resource.
