June 2017 Statistics

CREB® is happy to report that "Calgary’s housing market in June saw a modest improvement in sales along with an increase in new listings." This is great news for both buyers and sellers!

April 2017 Statistics

April was another great month for Calgary real estate! We have continued to see stability in the market, leading to better prices and inventory levels. The success of the real estate market relies heavily on the economy, so as long as our economy continues to get stronger, so will market conditions.

CREB® president David P. Brown had good news to report this month: “More jobs [in Calgary] means less uncertainty for people who are sitting on the fence [about entering the real estate market]. There also tends to be fewer people who need to sell when employment improves, and that can prevent inventory gains and further price reductions in the market.”

CREB® president David P. Brown adds, “it’s a good scenario for sellers who are entering a spring…

March Housing Statistics

The Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®) had good news to report in their summary of what happened in the YYC housing market in march: the detached sector reached balanced supply and demand levels. This ideal condition gave the market a great boost, with more sales being made than there has been in the last couple of years. This is something we have been waiting for ever since the market crash, and is a testament to Calgary’s ability to bounce back from hardship.

What exactly led to these balanced conditions? CREB® president David P. Brown reports,“it’s not so much that demand went through the roof in March, but that we had less supply come onto the market, which is really helping to balance things out. These changes are lifting the cloud of uncertainty…
