Wow! October already and we are all settling into the fall season of Calgary Real Estate! We’re seeing more of the same ~ record sales year over year and the market continues to favour sellers as inventory levels remain low. Lots of predictions out there but our feeling remain that these conditions are likely to continue and prices are likely to continue to trend upwards as demand continues to ramp up with thousands of people moving into our province every month. If you’re thinking about selling in the winter months, it would be advantageous to reach out sooner rather than later and make a plan as we have been doing lots of preemptive exterior photo shoots for clients to take advantage of the beautiful fall colours. That way we have some great marketing material ready for when you’re ready to sell. All the best to everyone as we approach Halloween and push into the last bit of beautiful fall weather!
Calgary home sales at record highs in September, yet supply remains a challenge. Sales reached another record high in September with 2,441 sales. Despite the year-over-year gains reported over the past four months, year-to-date sales are still nearly 12 per cent lower than last year’s levels. New listings also improved this month compared to last year and relative to sales. This caused the sales-to-new listings ratio to fall to 76 per cent, preventing further monthly declines in inventory levels. Nonetheless, inventory levels in September remained over 24 per cent lower than levels seen last year and, when measured relative to sales activity, has not changed enough to cause any significant shift in supply and demand balances. As of September, the months of supply has remained relatively low at less than two months. “Supply has been a challenge in our market as strong inter-provincial migration has elevated housing demand despite higher lending rates,” said CREB® Chief Economist Ann-Marie Lurie. “While new listings are improving, it has not been enough to take us out of sellers’ market conditions.” In September, the unadjusted residential benchmark price was $570,300, similar to last month and nearly nine per cent higher than last year.
