I'm no expert but I pretty much agree with this....Calgarians have more take home pay than most any other city in Canada, and Vancouver and Toronto have shown that people will pay alot for a house...does this mean the insanity seen in the last bit in Calgary will continue? I doubt it, but I don't picture a major crash either...city is still growing quickly...takes forever to build a house etc...
