CREB®, the Calgary Real Estate Board, did not have the best news to share during October's market statistics summary. 

October’s housing market conditions closely echoed previous month’s trends with easing sales, rising inventories and downward price pressure. Like last month, the monthly activity was not enough to derail gains that occurred earlier in the year.

So what exactly were the stats? Here are some highlights to know:

  • October Sales: 1,467 units
  • Inventory: 6,463 units
  • Most Inventory: Detached homes under $500,000
  • City-wide Unadjusted Benchmark Price: $438,900 (this is 0.6 % below last month)

CREB® chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie says, "while economic activity has improved in 2017, it will take some time for this to…

Building a home is a rather dreamy process. You get to pick where exactly to build your home and what it will look like. You finally have an excuse to be on Pinterest all the time, searching for décor and design ideas. You will be the first-ever owner in a home truly customized to your every desire. Sounds wonderful, right?

For those who can afford to build a new home from scratch, the process can be very rewarding. However, it often involves unexpected expenses, long wait times, stressful decisions and inevitable compromise. Lucky for you, there is another option for people wanting a brand new home: spec homes. 

Spec homes are built and designed by a contractor, not due to a contract with a buyer to build a home, but in hopes of finding a buyer to…

Good news, Calgary! Gains in the real estate market for the first half of 2017 have bumped sale levels 7% higher than last year!

Inventory levels rose to 6,861 units in September. While this increase was seen across all the different property types, attached homes and apartments saw the largest increase. CREB® chief economist AnnMarie Lurie reported:

This does not come as a surprise as sales activity is expected to remain modest by historical standards until more substantial economic improvements take hold. Some may consider this a setback, but it is important to note that recent movements are balancing out the higher than…

There are a number of reasons why your offer on a property could be rejected, and a number of things you can do to remedy the situation. Here they are:

1). Your Offer Was Too Low: The most common reason why your offer on a property could be rejected is that you did not offer enough money. Sellers know what they want to sell their home for, and many will be stubborn on that price. This is fair: they want to make a profit…
