Jessica Stoner: Experienced Canmore REALTOR®.
STONER Real Estate Team
Hello. I’ve been a Bow Valley resident for 34 years and a Canmore real estate agent 24 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
Though the market is active, the buyers and sellers activity is balanced for now.
For Sellers – As there is a healthy number of new listings entering the market, accurate pricing is wise at this time. This is not a market to push the envelope with pricing.
For Buyers – The increased inventory entering the market is creating more choice for buyers. Buyers should still be aware that the lower price points, as well as the more desirable properties in all price points, are seeing strong buyer competition and swift sales.
Expectations into remainder of 2025.
The expectations is that Canmore real estate will remain in demand. Buyers and Sellers are expected to remain active.
Unknowns
The level of unknown remains high. The is prompting both Buyers and Sellers to action. Some Sellers are selling due to desire to limit financial responsibilities. Economic uncertainty is leading some Sellers, to take action now. Some are selling vacation homes, to limit over extending themselves. Others are selling in town and moving to more affordable towns.
The unknowns are spurring buyers into action as well. We are seeing buyers uncomfortable with stock market volatility, purchasing real estate as a more secure investment. The buyers taking this action tend to be be purchasing vacation homes or future retirement homes in the area.
Last Thoughts
The Livability Tax recently implemented in Canmore, (an additional property tax on non-full time home owners) has created some effect to date. Some 2nd home owners who can not afford the significant increase in their property taxes, and others who feel the tax is inappropriate, have decided to sell their homes. This may have added to the increase in inventory on the market at this time.
Despite the increase in inventory, prices continue to appreciate.
