Calgary Real Estate Market Update April 2012

For the month of April in 2012, real estate sales in Calgary have increased a whopping 26% when compared to April of last year. Residential sales finished strong for the end of the month, totalling 2,200 in number. CREB economists are saying the improvement in sales is due to increased migration and the growing number of people obtaining full-time jobs. While real estate sales are increasing, Calgary is still below its long term average and is something that should be kept in perspective.
