Housing Heroes: Ronald McDonald House Charities^® Alberta

CREB^® has released its 2022 housing market forecast for Calgary and surrounding areas.

According to the report, housing market activity in 2022 is expected to moderate relative to record levels of activity in 2021, while remaining stronger than historical levels.

The Calgary Drop-In Centre (DI) has been a refuge and valuable resource for those experiencing or at risk of homelessness for more than 60 years. During that time, “the largest shelter in North America” has gone through several evolutions to become the housing-focused shelter it is today – dedicated to helping people overcome obstacles to housing and escape the cycle of homelessness for good.

Tickets are now available for CREB^® REALTOR^® Community Foundation’s first 50/50 Cash Raffle of 2022, with all proceeds going to local non-profit organizations that provide housing and shelter to those who need it most.

The average Calgary homeowner will see an increase in the assessed value of their property this year.

Calgary is constantly growing – both upwards and outwards – so it’s no surprise there are several new communities in the works across the city as we enter the new year.

Year of Construction: 1896

Address: 102 17th Ave. S.W.

Community: Beltline

Architectural Style: Queen Anne Revival

Thanks to exceptionally high sales in December, 2021 was a record year for home sales. Calgary sales reached 27,686 units this year, nearly 72 per cent higher than last year and over 44 per cent higher than the 10-year average.

With darkness setting in early and COVID-19 still putting many parents in the difficult position of trying to occupy their children in safe ways – often outdoors – the local rink has served as oasis of activity on many cold, dark nights.
