March 2018 Statistics

The Calgary housing market in March went exactly as expected. Unfortunately, due to economy not yet being fully recovered and due to stricter lending rules, sales were slow and inventory rose. First quarter sales totaled 3,423 units, which was 24 per cent below long term averages and18 per cent below last year's stats. Months of supply have reached four months. 

The benchmark price for a detached home was $503,800, which may have been 3.6 per cent below highs before the recession, but was one per cent above the lows recorded during the recession. So, there is very modest improvement. 

"Economic conditions are slowly improving, but it has not been enough to outpace the current impact of higher lending rates and more stringent conditions,” said CREB®…

August 2017 Statistics

What was the Calgary Real Estate Board's overall message when summarizing the Calgary housing market for the month of August? Listings are outpacing sales.

 CREB® chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie had this to say about the market: “Employment growth is contributing to the stability in sales activity, but it is not enough to meet the recent rise in listings and make a substantial dent in inventory levels. Unemployment rates remain elevated and job growth is mostly occurring outside the energy sector, slowing the recovery process. Broader economic improvements will be required prior to it translating into substantial improvements in the housing market.”

Quick Notes:

• Inventory levels are high, totaling just over 6000 units. While this is 16% higher…
