Farmland across Alberta continues to show steady appreciation, particularly in the key agricultural and development corridors surrounding Calgary.
According to Western Investor (Oct. 2025), the Prairies have outpaced much of Canada in farmland demand, supported by resilient commodity prices, succession planning, and sustained investor confidence. Alberta’s data reinforces this trend, with broad-based growth across soil classes and regions.
The Government of Alberta’s 2025 Agricultural Real Estate Transfers report shows the provincial average value per acre rose from $1,143 in 2005 to $3,624 in 2024 — an increase of more than 215 per cent. Top-quality farmland (C.L.I. Class 1 and 2) has reached $6,274 and $4,593 per acre, underscoring enduring strength in regions where agriculture and future development potential intersect.
For Calgary’s outer corridors — from Rocky View County to Foothills — this trend highlights a long-term tightening of supply, continued capital interest, and the strategic importance of well-located future development parcels and long-term land holding opportunities.
