Calgary rent prices continue to rise but stay below national average

The bad news: Calgary rent prices went up 7% last month. The good news: that doesn’t even put the city in the top 20 for most expensive.

Two-bedrooms in Calgary will cost you an average of $1,925 a month which is 7.13% higher than last month and an increase of 24.76% year over year.
