Calgary Real Estate Market Update for June 2016

- home prices experience further benchmark losses –

Calgary’s residential sector has continued to see benchmark prices slipping lower and lower, but not at the rate at which many had predicted. See last month’s Calgary Real Estate Market Update (May 2016) here.

This is partly related to the fact that June of 2016 sales for detached and semi-detached sectors when compared to new listings and current inventory began returning to a more balanced state.

The detached market’s move back towards balance has helped prevent prices from decreasing at a rate seen in the first half of the year.

As a matter of fact, June of 2016 was the first time in eight months that detached prices saw any increase (0.4 percent gain).

However, as Calgary’s residential market continues to face adversity related to current economic conditions, it is likely that home prices for all sectors will also.

With nearly 6,000 units of inventory on the market, Calgary’s real estate market remains well into buyers’ territory and will likely remain so for the rest of the year.
