Calgary Real Estate Market Update for June 2017

- Indicators of a gradual recovery seen in June –

Both sales activity and new listings saw moderate improvements in June of 2017, although the increase in demand hasn’t kept up with the number of new listings entering the market. This has caused inventory levels to increase to nearly 6,700 units, approximately 11 percent higher on a year-over-year basis.

Despite the change in inventory levels, activity levels in the second quarter of 2017 have demonstrated improved market stability and between supply and demand. The benchmark price city-wide in June of 2017 was $441,500, a 1 percent gain year-over-year and half a percent higher than in the previous month.

Modest city-wide benchmark price gains and improved sales activity remain consistent with the predictions of many economists and industry experts – that the housing market will make a gradual recovery from the last economic downturn.
