Calgary Real Estate Market Update for June 2019
- Buyer's Market Remains Despite Drop in Supply -
In June 2019 the amount of new listings entering onto Calgary’s residential market dropped, helping to reduce oversupply when compared to the previous month of May.
On a year-over-year basis, new listings dropped by around 19%. Sales activity also slowed on a year-over-year basis by 6 per cent, while inventories fell by 15% year-over-year.
According to the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®), properties priced under the $500,000 range have led the market to more balanced conditions. However, the market still remains well into buyers’ territory with 4.2 months of supply.
The result of less new listings and dropping oversupply has helped slow benchmark price declines.
