Summer 2025 Short-Term Rental Forecast for Canmore, Cochrane & Banff
As we look ahead to summer 2025, Alberta’s mountain towns are primed for another strong season in the short-term rental market. In Canmore, STRs are generating median annual revenues of CA$57,780, with occupancy rates averaging 60.4% and daily rates around CA$282. Cochrane is also on the rise, boasting 111 active listings, a CA$1,605 monthly revenue average, and a 51% occupancy rate. August remains the peak month for both towns. Meanwhile, Banff’s strict licensing continues to limit STR growth, but its high demand keeps average nightly rates around CA$400. With limited inventory in Banff, surrounding areas like Cochrane and Canmore stand to benefit from overflow tourism.
At Wildstone, we help owners maximize performance by optimizing pricing, implementing strategic marketing, and ensuring 5-star guest experiences. Our professional property management services have been shown to increase occupancy rates and repeat bookings by up to 20%, especially during shoulder seasons. Whether you're just entering the STR market or looking to scale, our local expertise and hands-on approach ensure your property stands out—and stays booked. Let Wildstone take the stress out of hosting, so you can enjoy the profits of summer 2025.
