Living in Okotoks

Questions about Okotoks
A little. The Okotoks benchmark price was $606,800 in September 2026, against $566,700 for Calgary (CREB, as of September 2026). It also has the tightest supply of the four towns we work in, just over two months, so good homes there don’t sit long.
About twenty minutes south of Calgary on Highway 2. It has its own historic main street and river pathways, so most people who move there don’t feel they’ve given up a town for a suburb.
