Calgary Real Estate Market Update for June 2018

- Weak sales continue in Calgary’s residential market –

Alberta and Saskatchewan, home to many municipalities centered around energy-related industries, have continued to see their residential home markets struggle throughout June 2018. This has resulted in further price declines for most product.

In addition to a slow economic recovery, recent changes to mortgage rules and regulations by the federal government have stifled demand and prices across some of these municipalities.

Despite the economy no longer being in official “recession” status, continually high rates of unemployment, concerns over long-term growth, rising mortgage interest rates and stricter regulations are all playing their part.

While the number of new listings is starting to slow down for some segments, it has not been enough to prevent an oversupplied housing market that’s far into buyers’ territory.
