Calgary Price-to-Rent Ratio

Data refresh: Oct, 2025

Context: The ratio compares benchmark home prices with market rents to flag buy-versus-rent conditions. Use the price & rent panel to see each series over time, and the ratio panel to spot periods when rents grow faster than prices (ratio falls) or prices outrun rents (ratio rises).

📌 Interpretation Tips

  • Falling ratio → rents growing faster than prices (renting relatively less expensive).
  • Rising ratio → prices outrunning rents (ownership relatively more expensive).
  • Use annotations and the date slider to compare pre- and post-peak periods in Calgary’s market.
