It’s time to get into the Canmore housing market…NOW!
It has become abundantly clear that the Canmore housing market is showing no signs of slowing down. Here in Canmore this year’s housing market has carried forward into the first quarter of 2021 with similar themes to last year. This red hot housing market only continues to defy expectations with sales only going up. Much of this shift in home buying has been directed by the fact that most homeowners are now free to reside anywhere, and are no longer dependent on their proximity to the office, as well as low interest rates offered by the banks.
With the fact that remote work environments are most likely here to stay has led many homeowners re-assessing where they want to plant their roots and reevaluating the city. This story is not only being told here in Alberta, but all over the country. With the housing markets across Canada seeing a trend in leaving the life of the big city behind with homeowners setting their sights on destinations far beyond their pre-COVID commute boundary, and with a town as beautiful as Canmore, could anyone resist the opportunity to permanently move to the mountains?
