Calgary Real Estate Market Update April 2014

All of Calgary’s residential sectors see an improvement in new listings

After a rather slow start to 2014, price gains and warmer weather has supported the growth of new listings in all of Calgary’s residential sectors.

April saw a total of 3,754 new listings, an 8 percent increase year over year. Total sales also grew year over year by 7 percent with 2,545 units sold.

Throughout 2014, many single-family owners have waited for warmer weather to sell their homes. This statistic is reflected in the fact that April is the first month of the year that saw a gain in new listings for the single-family sector.

On the other hand, the condominium market has had no problems with new listings thus far in 2014 which comes as no surprise with a consistently active new and resale condo market over the past several months.

Calgary Real Estate Single-Family Market Update

  • 1,736 total sales, a year over year increase of 8 percent and year-to-date gain of 9 percent
  • 2,584 new listings, a 7.4 percent increase year over year
  • $496,700 benchmark price, a year over year increase of 9.67 percent and 1.24 percent increase over last month

Improved new listings have released some of tightness in the current market; however, it was not enough to push it back into buyers’ territory.

  • 449 total sales, a 4.7 percent increase year over year
  • 1,511 year-to date sales
  • 898 units in inventory with an 11.2 percent increase in new listings
  • $291,700 condominium apartment benchmark price, an 11.6 percent gain year over year
  • $316,700 townhome benchmark price, a 9.6 percent gain year over year
  • Despite the year over year benchmark price gains, figures still remain slightly lower than peak levels of 2007
