Calgary Real-estate update
Great news Calgary!! For the sixth consecutive month, MLS residential sales in Calgary have increased from year-ago levels in both the single-family home and condominium markets. This is just one indicator that the market seems to be rebounding.
The strength of the market can also be seen in average house prices. Today, single-family homes, for example, are selling in the neighbourhood of $50,000 more than they were in January.
According to many local Calgary real-estate websites, there were 1,015 single-family home sales for an average price of $465,125 and 460 condo sales for an average of $284,511, month-to-date until Oct. 25. In October 2008, the Calgary Real Estate Board reported 820 single-family home sales with an average price of $449,100 and 399 condo sales for an average of $289,148. As you can tell the average house price has increased but due to more condo’s on the market the average condo sale has decreased slightly.
Here are some of the reasons why people seem to still be buying and Calgary mortgages continue to be in high demand:
- Record Low Calgary Mortgage Rates
- High employment rate
- Low Calgary house prices
- and I feel the most important of all is consumer confidence
There are still those that have fallen on hard times but it seems with the above mentioned indicators the majority of Albertan’s, especially Calgarians seem to be doing just fine.
