The Struggles Calgary Owners Face and How We Handle Them
Running a short-term rental in Calgary isn’t as simple as listing on Airbnb. Strict city licensing, fluctuating demand from events such as the Stampede, and the pressure to deliver 5-star guest experiences make it a demanding job.
At Aisling Baile, we turn those challenges into opportunities. We handle licensing, inspections, dynamic pricing, and guest communication, while coordinating professional cleaning and maintenance. You enjoy steady bookings, higher revenue, and stress-free ownership, with the peace of mind that your property is always compliant and guest-ready.

Calgary Market Insights
Calgary is one of Canada’s most dynamic short-term rental markets, but it’s also one of the most complex. Understanding local demand patterns, regulations, and guest expectations is key to turning your property into a reliable investment.
Occupancy Rates & Seasonal Trends
Summer Highs
Occupancy peaks in July during the Calgary Stampede, with nightly rates often doubling compared to shoulder months.
Business Travel Boosts
Spring and fall bring steady weekday demand thanks to conventions, oil & gas expos, and corporate travel.
Winter Patterns
While colder months see softer leisure demand, hockey season and ski tourism keep weekend bookings healthy.
Shoulder Seasons
March, April, October, and November tend to dip, requiring smart pricing and targeted marketing to maintain occupancy.
Event Impact (Stampede, Conferences & More)
The Calgary Stampede alone attracts over a million visitors annually, creating one of the highest-demand windows of the year. Business conferences and trade shows throughout the year further drive short-term rental bookings, particularly for downtown and Beltline condos. With the right pricing strategy, owners can capture outsized returns during these peak periods.
Revenue Potential by Property Type
Downtown Condos
Popular with business travellers; steady occupancy across the year, premium rates during conferences and Stampede.
Inner-City Homes (Beltline, Mission, Inglewood)
Strong appeal to leisure travellers; great for groups attending festivals or events.
Suburban Properties
Less consistent nightly rates, but attractive for families or longer stays seeking more space.
Luxury Homes
High earning potential when positioned for executive rentals or large group accommodations.
Compliance & Regulatory Factors
Operating in Calgary means following strict rules:
Business License Required
All STR operators must apply for a City of Calgary business license.
Fire Safety Compliance
Properties must pass inspections and meet safety standards.
Insurance Gaps
Airbnb’s AirCover doesn’t fully replace proper insurance — we help owners review and secure coverage.
We provide expert guidance and support through every step of the compliance process, helping you understand requirements and stay on track. While the application itself must be completed by the property owner, we make sure you have the resources, reminders, and advice you need to keep your rental legal and profitable.
Seasonality Pricing Strategy
Our approach blends dynamic pricing software with local market expertise:
Stampede Strategy
Adjust nightly rates upward, set minimum stays, and optimize release windows to capture premium bookings.
Business Season
Highlight business-friendly amenities (WiFi, self-check-in) and optimize for weekday occupancy.
Winter Readiness
Market properties as hockey or ski trip bases; bundle weekend packages to maximize bookings.
Shoulder Months
Offer discounts for longer stays, promote pet-friendly listings, and target remote workers seeking affordable monthly options.
By anticipating Calgary’s seasonal patterns and event-driven surges, Aisling Baile ensures your property achieves higher revenue across the entire year, not just during the peaks.
