It’s an awe-inspiring glimpse into the true lap of Calgary luxury, with a mix of vast estates on the city’s periphery to inner-city palaces amongst the city’s elite.

While many feel the compulsion to keep up with the Joneses, keeping up with those who run in these circles isn’t cheap.

Even as Alberta’s economy continues to slump, the city’s luxury home market is seeing an upswing, says Corinne Poffenroth, listing agent for Sotheby’s International Realty Canada, whose portfolio happens to include the two most expensive properties in the region currently available for the well-heeled buyer.

“We’ve actually seen a 24 per cent increase in million-plus homes in the first two months of this year compared to last year,” said Poffenroth, whose sales portfolio includes the $30-million Kestrel Ridge Farm in Springbank and the $12.25-million Manor House estate in Aspen Woods.
