Calgary is expected to experience the tightest office market in the country by the end of 2012, with Class A vacancy “scraping the bottom of the barrel at 1.2%,” says a report released earlier this week by Cushman & Wakefield.
The report says the City’s office market is once again in the midst of a boom cycle and competition for skilled labour is becoming “fierce.”
Bob MacSougall, senior managing director for C&W Calgary, said high oil prices, combined with strong continued capital investment in heavy oil products in northern Alberta have been the primary drivers behind the strong office demand.

More on the new CMHC Mortgage Rules for Real Estate
March 9, 2010 by Tessa Corley-Rae
I just spoke with my friend and mortgage broker Terry Caldie from the Mortgage Centre in Calgary about CMHC’s new mortgage regulations for homeowners and property investors. These new rules are nothing to panic about, in fact, up until 2 years ago these rules were exactly how CMHC ran any way. What people have to realize is that Convensional Mortgages (where people place 20% or more down as a down payment) are still exactly the same as they were before. However, the good news is buyers can still avoid CMHC with only 20% down, rather than the previous 25% that was required only months ago for a convensional mortgage. 2 years ago the government decided to create a “stimulous package” for buying property, this was inlight of the down turn in the economy that we have just pushed through. This “stimulous package” included relaxed rules for buying revenue properties, as well as large refinancing options.
Please see below for my interpretation of the new rules:

The following is written and published by the Calgary Real Estate Board:
Calgary, November 2, 2009 – The Calgary housing market continued to rebound in October, according to figures released by the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®).
“Calgary’s housing market has clearly turned a corner,” says Bonnie Wegerich, president of CREB®. “We expect there to be a few bumps on this road to recovery but we believe the worst is over. Home prices have held firm and edged upwards in some markets over the past months. This has helped buoy up the confidence of both buyers and sellers.”
