Calgary Real Estate Market Update October 2017

- Year-over-year, prices remain similar, but ease in October –

Housing market trends in October of 2017 weren’t far off from those seen during the previous months with rising inventories, easing sales and downward pressure on benchmark prices. A total of 1,467 sales and 6,463 units in inventory resulted in an overall months-of-supply of 4.4.

Elevated inventory levels for several consecutive months and decreased demand once again resulted in downward pressure on prices. The overall benchmark price dropped 0.6 percent below September of 2017, however, remained similar on a year-over-year basis.

Predictions of a slow economic recovery are now on the table it seems, but It still will take some time for this to convert into increased sales activity in Calgary’s residential market. Furthermore, challenges with lowered net migration levels, higher interest rates and changes to lending policy are predicted to take their own toll on housing sales.
