Having said that, it is important to note that it is not unusual to see lower activity levels during December and the winter months ahead due holidays, cold weather and other unmentioned factors.

Put the slump in December's sales aside and overall Calgary's residential sector ended 2014 off on a very positive note as the market experienced an increase in its annual sales by 9.3 percent over the previous year.
