Frequently Asked Questions About Mortgages in Calgary

Is Calgary a good time to buy in 2026?

Calgary offers excellent value with prices still well below 2014 peaks despite recent gains. Energy sector stability and tech growth support continued demand. Low inventory and tight rentals suggest continued price support.

Does Alberta have land transfer tax?

No, Alberta does not charge land transfer tax. You'll only pay a small title registration fee (approximately $50 + $2 per $5,000 of property value). This saves Calgary buyers tens of thousands compared to Ontario or BC.
