As camping season and summer travel pick up, many homeowners are locking the door and heading out for a well-earned break. But before you hit the road, a little preparation at home can go a long way in protecting your property and avoiding costly surprises when you return.

Here are a few simple but important steps to keep your home safe while you’re away:

1. Shut Off the Water (or at Least Know Your Options)

Water damage is one of the most common (and expensive) home insurance claims. If you’re going to be away for more than a few days, consider turning off your main water supply. At minimum, shut off water to appliances like washing machines and dishwashers. It’s a small step that can prevent a major headache.

2. Don’t Forget the Downspouts

Make sure your downspouts are properly extended and directing water away from your home. Summer storms can roll in quickly, and poor drainage can lead to foundation or basement issues while you’re gone.

3. Check Your Insurance Requirements

Most homeowners don’t realize this, but many insurance policies require someone to check on your home regularly while you’re away (often every 48–72 hours). If something happens and this condition isn’t met, it could affect your coverage. It’s worth a quick call to your provider to confirm.

4. Have Someone You Trust Stop In

Ask a neighbor, friend, or family member to check in periodically. Have them bring in mail, do a quick walkthrough, and make sure everything looks as it should. Bonus: it makes your home look lived-in.

5. Secure Entry Points

Double-check all doors, windows, and garage access points. Don’t forget less obvious spots like basement windows or acreage outbuildings. If you have an alarm system, make sure it’s set and that someone you trust knows how to access it if needed.

6. Create the Illusion You’re Home

A dark, quiet house is an easy target. Use timers for lights, leave a vehicle in the driveway if possible, and consider smart home features that allow you to control lighting remotely.

7. Take Care of the Outside

If you’re away for an extended period, arrange for lawn maintenance. Overgrown grass or an unkept yard is an obvious sign no one’s home, especially in rural or acreage settings.

8. Adjust Your Thermostat

No need to cool an empty home to the same level. Raise your thermostat slightly, but don’t turn it off completely, this helps manage humidity and keeps your home protected.

Final Thought

A little planning before you leave can save you a lot of stress when you return. Whether you’re gone for a weekend at the lake or a few weeks on vacation, protecting your home is just as important as packing your bags.

If you ever have questions about preparing your home, whether for a trip or for the market, we're always happy to help!

In line with seasonal expectations, both sales and inventory levels trended up relative to March’s activity. Despite this typical monthly rise, April sales totalled 2,104 units, six per cent lower than levels reported in 2025.

“Sales were expected to ease this year as our market transitioned away from strong demand that was driven by previously rapid migration growth. Improved supply choice across the entire housing spectrum has reduced the urgency among potential purchasers, helping our market shift away from seller’s market conditions to more balanced conditions,” said Ann-Marie Lurie, CREB®’s Chief Economist. “However, the trend of limited supply choice in the detached market continues, while conditions favour the buyer in the apartment condominium market.”

With 3,829 new listings in April, the sales-to-new-listings ratio remained at 55 per cent, supporting a modest monthly gain in supply. Inventory levels reached 5,973 units, nearly two per cent higher than levels reported last April. Overall, the months of supply remained just below three, representing relatively balanced conditions. However, this ranged from just over two months for detached homes to over four months for apartment-style homes.

The unadjusted total residential benchmark price trended up compared with March, reaching $568,800. The monthly gain was mostly associated with seasonal improvements, which is expected heading into the spring market. Monthly gains were higher in the detached and semi-detached segments. Overall, compared with the previous year, prices remain three per cent lower, with modest year-over-year declines in the detached and semi-detached sector, while declines neared nine per cent for apartment-style units.

So far in 2026, conditions have varied, ranging from seller’s market conditions and price growth for detached homes in some parts of the city to buyer’s market conditions and price adjustments in the apartment condominium sector.


Detached

With 1,095 sales and 1,863 new listings, inventory levels reported a modest monthly gain. However, with 2,468 units in inventory, levels remain lower than those reported last year and below long-term trends, while months of supply remained just over two. The tighter conditions helped support prices in April, which continued to rise compared with March, causing the pace of year-over-year price declines to ease to under three per cent. As of April, the unadjusted benchmark price was $745,400.

Within the detached market, conditions varied by district. Calgary’s North West, West and South districts experienced seller’s market conditions, with less than two months of supply, driving stronger monthly price gains. Meanwhile, conditions in the North East favoured the buyer, causing prices to trend down from the previous month. Benchmark price changes in April ranged from a year-over-year decline of eight per cent in the North East to a two per cent increase in the West district.


Semi-detached

Recent improvements in new listings helped to support the rise in sales this month. Year to date, there have been 700 sales and 1,190 new listings, similar to last year’s levels. In April, both the sales-to-new-listings ratio and months of supply remained at the lower end of the balanced range. Conditions supported further monthly price growth, as the unadjusted benchmark price reached $690,000. Gains over the past three months have brought prices to levels only slightly lower than those reported last April.

As in the detached sector, conditions vary by location. In April, prices trended up over March in all districts except the North East and East, which are also reporting higher months of supply. Tighter conditions in other areas supported monthly price gains. Year to date, benchmark prices improved over last year’s levels in the City Centre, North West and West districts.


Row

Sales, new listings and inventory levels all trended over the previous month, in line with seasonal expectations. However, year to date, the pullback in sales has outpaced the pullback in new listings, causing the sales-to-new-listings ratio to average 51 per cent and inventories to trend higher than levels reported last year at this time. While inventories have improved, months of supply has remained in a relatively balanced range at nearly three months.

Conditions vary significantly across the city, contributing to differing price trends. The North East district reported the highest months of supply and the steepest year-to-date price adjustments, at over 11 per cent. Meanwhile, the smallest year-to-date price adjustments occurred in the West, at less than a two per cent decline.


Apartment condominium

The pace of growth in new listings slowed in April relative to the gains in sales, causing the sales-to-new-listings ratio to improve to 46 per cent. However, this is not enough to prevent further inventory gains. In April, inventory rose to 1,920 units, nearly three per cent higher than last year and 27 per cent above long-term trends. With over four months of supply, conditions continue to favour the buyer, preventing any significant upward pressure on prices.

As of April, the unadjusted benchmark price was $301,400, slightly higher than March. Gains were mostly driven by improvements in the North West, South East and West districts, while prices continued to trend down in the North East, North and East districts. Compared with last April, benchmark prices have declined by nearly nine per cent, with the steepest declines in the North East, East, North and South East districts.

REGIONAL MARKET FACTS

Airdrie

Despite seasonal gains, sales in Airdrie eased compared with last year, causing year-to-date sales to decline by nearly 12 per cent. While sales have slowed, they remain in line with long-term trends. New listings have also trended down compared with last year, but recent gains supported further increases in inventory. With 494 units in inventory and 151 sales, months of supply remained just above three months. While conditions are not as tight as they were the previous year, they remain relatively balanced and are supporting modest price gains following last year’s decline. The benchmark price reached $516,700 in April, nearly one per cent higher than March, but still more than five per cent lower than last April.


Cochrane

Gains in April sales were enough to push year-to-date sales up by over six per cent. At the same time, new listings eased compared with March, causing the sales-to-new-listings ratio to rise above 70 per cent and preventing any significant change in inventory. This also caused months of supply to push below three. While conditions can fluctuate month-to-month, tighter conditions were accompanied by further price gains. In April, the unadjusted benchmark price reached $569,200, more than one per cent higher than the previous month. Recent gains have helped offset some of the pullbacks experienced during the second half of the year, but prices remain over three per cent lower than last April.

Okotoks

Improving sales in April were not enough to offset earlier declines, as year-to-date sales remained three per cent below last year’s. At the same time, new listings continued to improve, helping bring up inventory levels. However, with 149 units available in April, inventory remains well below long-term trends. With two and a half months of supply, conditions remain relatively tight, supporting further price gains. As of April, the unadjusted benchmark price was $627,600, over one per cent higher than March and in line with levels reported last April.

The Bank of Canada today held its target for the overnight rate at 2.25%, with the Bank Rate at 2.5% and the deposit rate at 2.20%.

The evolving conflict in the Middle East is causing heightened volatility and US trade policy continues to reshape global trade patterns. Both are ongoing sources of uncertainty. The Bank’s April outlook assumes tariffs remain unchanged and the global benchmark price of oil declines to US$75 per barrel by mid 2027. 

The Iran war has led to sharply higher energy prices and transportation disruptions, diminishing growth prospects in oil-importing countries and boosting inflation worldwide. In the United States, growth is still expected to be solid over the projection horizon, boosted by AI-related investment and consumption growth. China’s economy is being supported by robust exports. In the euro area, higher prices for oil and natural gas will weigh on economic activity.

Financial conditions have been volatile, reflecting daily developments in the Middle East and shifting market expectations for inflation and interest rates. Bond yields are modestly higher since January while equity markets, which weakened sharply at the outset of the war, have recovered. Since the start of the war, the US dollar has appreciated against most major currencies. The Canada-US exchange rate has been relatively stable.

Overall, the global economy is expected to grow by about 3% in 2026, 2027 and 2028. Projections for inflation over the next year are revised up because of the jump in energy prices.

The outlook for economic growth in Canada is little changed from the January Monetary Policy Report (MPR) projection. After a contraction in the fourth quarter of 2025, growth is forecast to have resumed in early 2026. Consumer and government spending are supporting economic activity, while tariffs and trade uncertainty are weighing on exports and business investment. Housing activity declined in the fourth quarter and is being held back by slow population growth, economic uncertainty and ongoing affordability issues. The labour market is soft, with subdued employment growth over the past year and job losses in sectors targeted by US tariffs. The unemployment rate remains in the 6½%‑7% range, reflecting both weak hiring and fewer job seekers.

The Bank’s April forecast projects GDP growth of 1.2% in 2026, rising to 1.6% in 2027 and 1.7% in 2028 as growth in exports and business investment resumes along a lower trajectory. With GDP growing slightly above potential, the current excess supply in the economy is gradually absorbed. While the war in Iran may alter its composition, overall GDP growth is little changed in the updated forecast: Since Canada is a large net exporter of oil, higher oil prices increase national income even as consumers are squeezed by higher gasoline prices.

CPI inflation climbed to 2.4% in March because of sharply higher gasoline prices. The March increase follows several months of slowing inflation data. Core inflation has been easing and held steady at just above 2% in the most recent inflation report. The proportion of components of the CPI basket rising above 3% has also declined in recent months. As expected, so far there is little evidence that oil prices have fed through more broadly to goods and services prices, but this warrants close attention in the months ahead. Near-term inflation expectations have moved up with higher gasoline prices and still-elevated food price inflation, but longer-term inflation expectations have remained anchored.

CPI inflation will likely rise further in April to about 3%. Based on the assumption that oil prices will ease, inflation is forecast to come down to the 2% target early next year and remain around 2% over the projection horizon.   

Against this backdrop and taking into account the current projection, Governing Council decided to maintain the policy rate at 2.25%. We are closely monitoring the impact of the conflict in the Middle East and how the economy is responding to US tariffs and trade policy uncertainty. Governing Council is looking through the war’s immediate impact on inflation but will not let higher energy prices become persistent inflation. As the outlook evolves, we stand ready to respond as needed. The Bank is committed to maintaining Canadians’ confidence in price stability through this period of global upheaval.

Information note

The next scheduled date for announcing the overnight rate target is June 10, 2026. The Bank’s next MPR will be released on July 15, 2026.
