November Stat Pack

December 18th, 2017
This will be the last report for 2017. It looks as though November has seen a spike in sales to the tune of 15% compared to last year. This does make some sense considering the new mortgage rules coming in to effect January 1st. What doesn’t make sense is that the increase in sales is in the lower price ranges (under $500K). The new mortgage rules will affect conventional mortgages (more than ...

October Stat Pack

November 13th, 2017
Well, welcome to Witchita! Winter is finally here and with that usually comes a slow down in the market. Most people choose to hunker down, but why? Off season buying is where you can find the best deals! I find that working with buyers and sellers through the winter usually indicates motivation with respect to their real estate needs. Why else would you move in the winter???City wide sales ...

June Stat Pack

July 14th, 2017
'Gradual recovery'. That's what the pundits are calling it. The spring market has come to completion and the market is looking quite a bit better than it did a year ago. As we roll in to the dog days of summer, the number of active listings is on the rise (currently sitting over 6600 listings). While this is typical for the summer months, the level of inventory is substantially higher than ...

May Stat Pack

June 17th, 2017
          This will be the fourth straight month that we have seen price gains for the city of Calgary! It is giving every indication that we are on the road to recovery and the detached segment is a big reason for this. Benchmark prices in the segment are up 1% since last month and sit at $509,000. Demand is still high with 2.1 months supply across the segment and the Northwest & East area ...

April Stat Pack

May 18th, 2017
After the month of April and the market is still on track for recovery.  Although it’s been the detached and semi-detached market that has been buoying the numbers over the last year, row housing looks to be rebounding as well. That segment’s inventory numbers are down 8.5% to 863 units and sales were up 19% compared to last year. Benchmark prices have jumped up 0.59% since last month, howeve ...

February Stat Pack

March 17th, 2017
After the month of February, we are still showing positive signs for 2017. Although sales were up nearly 20% from this time last year, the numbers are still off by 19% from the 10 year average. It will be interesting to see how the long term averages are affected when 2007 comes off the books next year. It was crazy that year! Hard to believe that is already a decade past. Every segment was l ...

January Stat Pack

January 11th, 2017
First month in to 2017 and we are looking much better than last year at this time. Although that’s not a big feat as last January was a record setting slow month, but hey, we are glass half full people here! The last few weeks have been really busy. I have already helped a couple buyers find homes this year. The signal for the bottom may have arrived and that pent up demand I’ve been talking ...

November Stat Pack

December 9th, 2016
After sales in October gave a false glimmer of hope, here we are looking in the rear view mirror for November and sales are back to where they were. October saw a 16% spike in sales activity, however, that was primarily due to the new mortgage rules implemented by the Feds. Buyers rushed to market to get their financing in under the wire. City of Calgary sales were off by 3% from this time la ...
