Calgary Real Estate Market Update November 2015

Calgary Real Estate Market Update for November 2015

- Calgary’s residential sector far into buyers’ territory -

A combination of low sales activity and a consistently high amount of inventory in Calgary’s residential resale housing market has pushed the market further into buyers’ territory in November of 2015 compared to that in October 2015.

With total sales at 1,263 for the month, there was a 28 percent decline on a year-over-year basis which is also approximately 20 percent lower than the decade-long average for monthly residential sales seen in Calgary.

The combination of lower sales and increased listings has caused inventory levels to push above four months of supply. This just happens to be the third straight month that inventory has remained at about four months, a strong indication that the market is well into buyers’ territory.

This, of course, is a reflection of the provincial`s economic performance. With thousands of job cuts across several different industries such as in oil and gas, for example, unemployment levels continue to rise while wages go the opposite way. These all have their own part to play in the low demand for housing in Calgary`s residential sector.

On a positive note, inventory levels have remained 27 percent lower than those seen during the economic recession in 2008. Furthermore, price declines have also not been as sharp as that seen during that time.
