Calgary Real Estate Market Update October 2013

October 2013 marks the fourth straight month of year over year new listings growth in Calgary’s residential market with a total of 2,522 new listings, a 9 percent increase over October 2012. Surprisingly, the gain wasn’t quite enough to increase inventory levels.

Sales have also increased by 18 percent year over year, totalling 1,953 units. On a year to date basis, residential sales have increased 10 percent over the same time frame in 2012; however, this number is still considerably lower than that seen from 2005 to 2007.

Another year to date comparison with 2012 is the average amount of time it’s taking for residential properties to sell – approximately 37 days. While this is 16 percent less time taken than in 2012, it still remains well below the 20 day average recorded in 2006.
