So far, sales activity in Calgary’s residential market has exceeded expectations for 2017. Many people have delayed their decisions to buy real estate until signs of economic recovery were apparent. However, much patience will be needed until a full recovery ensues; currently there’s lots of product on the market which doesn’t create a sense of urgency for potential buyers to make a move.

The number of new listings entering the market overshadowed sales activity, causing further inventory gains. With 6,675 available units on the market, months of supply city-wide increased to four months which is 17 percent higher year-over-year, but still lower than those levels in July of 2008.

Sourced from the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®)

It’s important to remember that not all sectors of Calgary’s residential market are experiencing as much price recovery as others. For example, detached home prices in the west end of the city have returned to pre-recession levels while the apartment sector in the north and south sectors have been hit the hardest due to several new condominium projects and increased inventory as a result.
