Every time a home sells in Calgary, a record is created and in older communities like Acadia, those records tell a very profitable story.
Over the past three years, 96 detached homes in Acadia were bought, renovated, and resold. These aren’t hypothetical models or “what-ifs.” These are real investors, real trades, real timelines, and real results.
Here’s what happened:
Average Buy Price: $503,755
Average Sell Price: $685,075
Average Timeline: 16 months
Average Gross Spread: $181,320
That spread isn’t fantasy profit — it’s your maximum renovation budget before breaking even. Spend smarter than the average, and the leftover becomes profit. The better the investor, the bigger the cushion.
Why Acadia?
Acadia is a classic Calgary success story:
✅ 1960s solid bungalows
✅ Large, flat lots
✅ Walkable schools, shopping & leisure
✅ Easy commutes — Macleod, Deerfoot, Southland, Heritage
✅ Renovation-friendly layouts
Old enough to upgrade. Young enough to shine.
You get good bones, predictable demand, and a giant gap between tired and renovated prices. That gap is where investors make money.
The Investor’s Job: Improve Everything
Success in Acadia comes down to three things:
1️⃣ Buy Smart
Target homes at the bottom of the price cluster — original condition, tired finishes, no major structural surprises.
2️⃣ Renovate Tighter
Invest where buyers notice:
Kitchens & baths
Flooring & lighting
Furniture-quality carpentry
Egress & safety upgrades
Updated mechanicals
Don’t overshoot the neighbourhood ceiling — be the best deal at the top, not the most expensive house on earth.
3️⃣ Sell Faster
Price a little below the highest recent sales and let the market fight over it.
Profit loves speed. Debt doesn’t.

Southwood. Haysboro. Fairview. Canyon Meadows.
The whole central-south bungalow belt is in play.
