Calgary Real Estate Market Update November 2017

- Mid-Fall characterized by increase in sales activity

Calgary’s residential real estate market saw a spur of activity this November with increased sales, especially in the lower price ranges. A total of 1,411 units came in at 15 percent higher on a year-over-year basis and is comparable to long-term trends seen for the month. This is also up on a month-to-month basis.

While each housing sector saw improvements in sales, product underneath the $500,000 range experienced the most profound increase. Pending changes to mortgage rules and improved confidence in the economy are two likely culprits of Novembers performance.

  • $436,700 city-wide benchmark price, 0.5 percent lower month-to-month but 0.46 percent higher year-over-year
  • 11,220 year-to-date detached sales, 5.5 percent higher over the same time frame in 2016
  • Detached sales have improved in all districts of the city, save the Northeast
  • High inventory levels have been impacting detached sector price recovery
  • IN attached segment, semi-detached has outperformed row housing in terms of price appreciation. However, they sit at 3.3 percent and 7.9 percent, respectively, below recent highs.
  • $258,300 city-wide apartment benchmark price, 1.3 percent lower month-to-month and 14 percent lower compared to high levels seen in 2014
  • Apartment inventory levels continue to rise faster than sales activity, putting further downward pressure on condo prices

The increase in sales activity relative to new listings improved, helping to ease any more rise to inventory levels while keeping months of supply relatively stagnant.

However, going forward the amount of inventory available is still large which is continuing to have an affect on benchmark prices for all sectors of Calgary’s residential market.
