Calgary Real Estate Market Update August 2013

Calgary residential home sales have remained strong through the summer, with the market remaining in sellers’ territory and prices continuing their upward trend.

Calgary Real Estate Market August 2013

Inside city limits there was 2,196 residential sales in August 2013, a whopping 27.5 percent increase over August 2012 and an 8.7 percent increase year to date compared with the same time last year.

The substantial year over year increase can be largely contributed to increased activity in Calgary’s single family home market, although on a year to date basis sales are only slightly above predictions.
