The month of November is always a gap month between fall festivities and Halloween gimmicks, and wintertime activities and Christmas celebrations! November seems to have flown by this year, much to the delight of everyone who dreams of time off work and school. While the Christmas season is well underway, complete with constant carols and ads for the perfect gift, there is one last thing from November that we need to take care of: the Calgary real estate statistics.
