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.
