Are Calgary Rental Vacancies Rising? What Real Estate Investors Should Do

For the past several years, Calgary has been one of Canada's most attractive real estate investment markets. Rising migration, a growing economy, and relatively affordable housing compared to Toronto and Vancouver created ideal conditions for landlords.

The effects of high oil prices on rental properties in calgary

Calgary’s real estate market has always been closely tied to the energy sector.
