Calgary home prices remained stable in May
Demand for detached housing continues to rise. Fueled by the detached sector, Calgary home prices trended up for the fourth consecutive month, but remain below 2014 highs. “The economic climate is supporting detached housing market recovery,” said CREB® chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie.
“Improved demand and easing supply has created more balanced conditions and ultimately some modest price gains. While it will still take some time for prices to recover, the transition in the detached segment is an important first step to stabilization across all segments of the housing market.” For the first time since June 2015, prices in the detached sector did not decline on a year-over-year basis. Unadjusted detached benchmark prices reached $509,000 in May, one per cent higher than last month and May 2016 levels. For a full detailed report from the Calgary Real Estate Board please click HERE.

RE/MAX Western Canada Spring market report
Recovering oil prices, low interest rates, and US approval of the Keystone XL pipeline project have renewed buyer optimism in Calgary’s real estate market. Older properties in prime neighbourhoods in the centre-core of northwest and southwest Calgary are being redeveloped, contributing to a healthy increase in land values in these areas. Optimistic move-up buyers are driving demand for detached, single-family homes, typically in the range of $400,000$550,000. Although there is some activity in the lower-end, the condo market is flat due to considerable inventory. Properties remain on the market for approximately 2.5 months and this is unlikely to change over the course of 2017. Please call Doug, Susan or Kristen anytime with any questions you might have 403-283-7113. We are a family real estate team serving Calgary for 40 years! Click HERE or on photo for the full report.
