Throughout 2017 it’s likely that there will be a slow transition towards more balanced conditions that will also reduce drops in benchmark prices for most sectors.

And while conditions may be better than last years’ thus far, we all should all remember that 2016 was one of the weakest years for Calgary’s housing market ever recorded. See our Calgary Real Estate Market Update for November 2016 today.
