🎧 Red Deer Real Estate: The Hidden Goldmine Between Edmonton and Calgary
Real Estate Investing Morning Show – Hosted by Wayne & Gabby Hillier

Red Deer might be Alberta’s most overlooked real estate market — but that’s exactly what makes it exciting. In today’s episode, Wayne & Gabby sit down with Krystal Kromm, investor-focused Realtor and active investor in Central Alberta, to break down why this mid-province market is starting to catch serious investor attention.

They dive into the latest stats, shifting market conditions, and how new city council decisions could open (or limit) housing opportunities — from garage suites and secondary suites to purpose-built rentals. Whether Red Deer grows in density or stays tight on inventory, both outcomes create opportunities for smart investors who understand timing and strategy.

🧠 What You'll Learn in This Episode

• Why Red Deer is becoming a strategic middle ground for investors between Edmonton and Calgary

• How recent municipal elections and housing policies could shape the city’s growth

• Market data: inventory up 32%, sales up 3.5%, and prices holding around $400K (+11% year-over-year)

• Where the sweet spot for investors lies — detached homes in the $350K–$400K range

• How new apartment builds may cool the 1–2 bedroom rental segment

• Why garage suites and secondary suites could be the next major opportunity

• What keeps Red Deer’s rental demand high and vacancy rates low

• The investor mindset: understanding how fewer builds can actually create more opportunity
