Alberta housing.
Alberta started a record number of homes for a migration wave that has since shrunk, and rents show it first. Free to read on Flossy Data.
What it is
Who moved to Alberta, what got built, and what it costs to rent.
Migration, housing starts back to 1948, what kind of homes were started and for whom, rental vacancy, asking rents and what current tenants pay, and new-home prices in Calgary and Edmonton.
What it shows
The building has overtaken the arrivals.
In 2023, 185,313 more people moved to Alberta than left, the most on record. In 2025 it was 74,284. That same year builders started 53,184 homes, more than in any year since 1948. From July 2025 to July 2026 Alberta started one home for every 1.61 people it added, against 2.38 through the 2010s. In Calgary the asking rent for a two-bedroom fell 6.4% in a year, to $1,890, below the $1,930 current tenants pay.
