High volume of off-topic articles in intake; curatorial filter needed
Key Questions
What issues are occurring with article intake for Alberta housing curation?
Batches contain high volumes of off-topic noise, such as non-Alberta permits, earthquakes, and gas/oil economy articles. Key relevant hits include stories on Alberta market glut and Falcon Two. Curatorial filters are being tightened to focus on Calgary/Edmonton multifamily projects, permitting, CMHC/lender metrics, while deprioritizing generics and non-local content.
What is the 'market glut' affecting Alberta's housing market?
A glut of new build homes, including purpose-built rentals, combined with slower population growth, is driving down asking rents. This is starting to unhinge the Alberta market. The issue highlights oversupply pressures in the region.
What is Falcon Two in downtown Edmonton?
Falcon Two is a brand-new high-rise tower under construction in downtown Edmonton. It forms part of a broader initiative to provide affordable housing units in the city core. The project aims to address housing needs through new developments.
Noise includes LIANG land sales ads, Calgary luxury SFH $1M+ lists, prior condo/rentals/US zoning; strong hits like Haddow rezoning, RBC glut, Falcon Two. Tighten filters to Calgary/Edmonton multifamily dev/projects/permitting/CMHC/metrics.
