Calgary

According to the report, rates fell in February this year, with an unfurnished one-bedroom apartment dropping $56 from January.

This month, the average rent for an unfurnished apartment fell to about $1,665 a month, while a furnished one-bedroom house went for about $1,802.

Seekers most of them should consider living in the north-eastern part of the city if available.

Edmonton

Want to stay in Edmonton? If you're looking for something fully loaded, get ready.

According to the report, the average monthly price of a furnished one-bedroom is up +6.47%, while unfurnished units are up just +0.13%, but you might want to consider the West Side.

“Unfurnished one- and two-bedroom rental prices were the lowest in West Edmonton this month,” they explain.

“Southwest Edmonton had the highest rates of all types of unfurnished units, as well as furnished three-bedroom units.”

But you have. Homes are certainly not cheap, but wild rose country, but we have it no worse than our neighbors on the West Coast.

Happy house hunting and good luck, Alberta!

We hope you find something great.
