Calgary Real Estate Market Update September 2013

September 2013 residential sales in Calgary are 14 percent higher than the long term average for the month and are also up 19 percent year over year with a total of 1,923 units sold.

Calgary Real Estate Year over Year Price Gain September 2013

Residential sales in July, August and September followed a similar trend with increased average sales in each month, although it was less so for September largely due to the fact that housing sales were boosted as a result of the floods in late June 2013, which caused tens of thousands of people to relocate either temporarily or permanently. A few months later, sales activity is beginning to slow down as many of these people have found different living arrangements.

On the other hand, residential sales growth remains strong largely due to high levels of inbound migration which has decreased the availability of rental properties and led some of those people moving to Calgary to buy real estate.

Calgary Real Estate Single Family Home Market

  • Single family home sales totaled 13,006 units after the first three quarters of 2013, an increase of 6.7 percent over the same time frame in 2012
  • Sales activity increased from July to September, outperforming the same months in 2012
  • Single family home benchmark price of $463,700

Calgary Real Estate Condominiums and Townhomes Market

  • Condominium apartment sales totaled 3,147 units after the first three quarters of 2013
  • Condominium apartment benchmark price of $272,900, an increase of 9.5 percent year over year and 0.9 percent higher than that in August 2013
  • Townhome sales totaled 2,494 units over the same time period in 2013

While new listings have generally declined on a monthly basis since 2011, this wasn’t so for July, August and September 2013. This has helped in preventing the market from favouring home sellers even more so than it currently does, giving people more choice and a bit more time to make decisions when buying Calgary real estate.
