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.
