Jessica Stoner: Experienced Canmore REALTOR®.
STONER Real Estate Team
Hello. I’ve been a Bow Valley resident for 35 years and a Canmore real estate agent 25 of those. As the former broker/owner of RE/MAX Alpine Realty for 10 years, and a current REALTOR®, I’ve had a front row seat witnessing the remarkable transformation of Canmore into a world-class resort town and adventure tourism centre. It’s been an absolute pleasure to watch the town develop over the years while participating “front and centre” in the community as a real estate agent, broker, and business owner.
- Though I work in all areas of Canmore, I specialize in the Three Sisters district, southeast of downtown. Being a resident of the area and having worked in the neighbourhood from it’s onset, I am very familiar with the homes, developers and the market there.
- I also focus on future and current retirees, and their purchasing or selling of local homes. Many of my clients today are in this stage of their lives. I enjoy helping retirees with the move from, or more often, to Canmore.
- As a proud member of the Calgary Real Estate Board, I post client properties on the MLS® property listing system. View my listing page.
- I take pride in keeping my web marketing skills and online marketing vehicles up-to-date. My several websites, online tools and social media channels will benefit you, whether you are a property buyer or seller.

Balanced Market
Buyers and sellers activity is balanced at this time, and activity is reasonably buoyant. January 2026 has seen and uptick in buyers inquiries and showings.
For Sellers – Inventory is lower than average at this time and a good time for Owners wishing to sell. It is important to keep in mind that approximately 20% of listings in 2025 sold within the first 27 days, and only 3 of those required a price adjustment. Notably, 96% of all price reductions happened after properties had been on the market longer than 27 days. Accuracy in pricing seems to be key in today’s market.
For Buyers – There is somewhat lower inventory at this time though we may see an increase in listings in the spring. As current global events creates an uncertain market, it may be prudent to purchase as soon as you find the right home. Waiting could potentially result in higher interest rates, higher prices or more competition.
Unknowns
The Livability Tax the Town of Canmore is in the process of implementing (a higher tax rates for non-permanent residents) has come up against several challenges. There is currently an active law suit challenging it, widespread and vocal public resistance and the Province has indicated they will step in should changes not be made. The week of Jan 6, 2026 the Town has indicated a proposal to apply the non-permanent resident tax only to non-Albertans.
We don’t know at this time: if such a compromise would be approved by council, if the Province would find this option acceptable or if the tax would be financially effective in this case.
Last Thoughts
A balanced market is a healthy market. At this time, conditions are favourable for both Sellers to sell and Buyer’s to buy. In typical market conditions, we can expect to see an increase in activity in the spring and, as there tends to be more buyers than sellers, it can create an unbalanced market quickly.
The market trajectory of the market in 2026 is unpredictable, though the industry generally anticipates reasonable, healthy and balanced activity with both buyers and sellers.

It is frustrating and confusing for purchasers and here, I will shed some light on what a hotel condo is, what the different zonings are in Canmore, and what type of property you might want to be looking for.
