There is no doubt about it: Calgary is currently in a buyer's market.

What is a buyer's market? A Buyer's Market is when there are more units on the market than what are being sold; inventory is high, sales are low. This drives down prices on homes as seller's scramble to do whatever it takes for their home to stand out and sell, since during buyers markets homes end up sitting on the market for much longer than usual. Buyers simply have more options, which is great if you are planning to buy.

It may seem obvious, then, that as a buyer this is a fantastic time to enter the market. The reason why this has not been as simple as it seems is because of the new stress test put in place by the Bank of Canada to ensure all prospective buyers desiring a…

The Calgary Real Estate Board announced its stats for January 2019! Read on for the inside scoop.... 

As economic challenges linger into 2019, housing markets remain on a sluggish pace.

  • In January 804 units were sold. This is 21 per cent below long-term averages for the month of January, and 16 per cent below last January's averages. 
  • Citywide benchmark prices eased to $414,800 for residential homes, dropping 1 per cent from the previous month of December, and 4 per cent below averages from January in 2018.
  • Months of supply now sits at seven months. This is due to yet another increase in inventory, without enough sales to balance the scales. As such, Calgary continues to stay locked in a buyer's market.

Nowadays it is nearly impossible to purchase a home in Calgary, Alberta Canada without getting a mortgage. With homes as expensive as they are, it is extremely rare that a person is able to purchase a home upfront and avoid a 10-20 year mortgage. This is why when you are considering buying a property, it is important to set yourself up so that you qualify for a mortgage. After all, banks do not give out mortgages to just anyone.

There are a number of factors that go into qualifying for a mortgage, such as credit history. The most important one is annual income.
