Calgary Real Estate Market Update May 2017

- Demand for detached properties continues upward trend –

Calgary’s detached sector has fuelled upward price trends for the fourth straight month but sales activity remains below highs seen during 2014. See our Calgary Real Estate Market Update for April 2017.

year over year price gains calgary real estate market may 2017

According to the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®), the economic climate in the province and city is supporting recovery of the detached housing sector. Decreased new listings, an easing supply and increased demand has created more balance and resulted in slight price gains.

It will still take a while for prices to return to the highs seen before the last economic bust, but the transition seen in the detached sector is an important one for stabilization of all of Calgary’s residential sectors to eventually occur. Search Calgary Homes for Sale now.

The attached market is beginning to follow the detached back to stability which has contributed to recent changes in prices. However, year-to-date benchmark prices for attached properties remains two percent lower compared to the same time frame last year and 4.7 percent lower than record levels.

Economists at the CREB® suggest that the housing market is beginning to recover, but will slowly, along with the provinces job market.
