CALGARY HOME SALES INCREASE FOR SIXTH CONSECUTIVE MONTH
July 2, 2009
The number of
single family homes and condos sold in
June in Calgary metro are both up from the
same time a year ago.
MLS® sales activity of single family
Calgary metro homes was 1,837 in the
month of June 2009, showing an increase
of 16 per cent from 1,584 sales in May
2009, according to figures released by the
Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®). This
is the sixth consecutive month home sales
have increased in Calgary Metro. This was
an increase of 28 per cent from June 2008,
when single family home sales were 1,439.
The number of condominium sales for the
month of June 2009 was 738, an increase
of 13 per cent from the 653 condominium
transactions recorded in May 2009, and an
increase of 33 per cent from June 2008,
when 556 condominiums changed hands.
“This is the third consecutive month we are
seeing our inventory return to a balanced
market,” says Bonnie Wegerich, President
of the Calgary Real Estate Board. “Our
inventory turnover for single family homes
and condos in metro Calgary is now just
over two months. This is a remarkable shift
from the nearly 11 months of inventory we
saw in January of this year.”
“A rise in demand along with fewer listings
has helped bring supply in balance with
demand,” says Wegerich. “Affordable
prices, low interest rates and pent-up
demand continue, to fuel this gradual
rebound. Should this trend continue, I
think we can confidently say the bottom of
the market has come and gone before many
buyers had a chance to notice.”
The average price of a single family
Calgary metro home in June 2009 was
$447,142, showing an increase of 2 per cent
from May 2009, when the average price
was $436,427, and showing a decrease of 6
per cent from June 2008, when the average
price was $473,774. The average price of a
Calgary metro condominium was $285,595
showing a 4 per cent increase from May
2009, when the average price was $275,212
and a decrease of 9 per cent over last year,
when the average price was $315,042.
Average price information can be useful in
establishing trends over time, but does not
indicate actual prices in centres comprised
of widely divergent neighbourhoods, or
account for price differentials between
geographical areas.
“It is not the buyer’s market we saw in
January of this year. As our inventory
trends lower, choice and selection will
decrease. Nonetheless, there are still great
opportunities out there for buyers,” says
Wegerich.
“The good news is pricing remains
relatively affordable,” says Wegerich. “We
are not liable to see significant price gains
in 2009, but more likely a gradual and
steady improvement in home values.”
Single family Calgary metro new listings
added for the month of June totaled 2,244,
no change from May 2009 when 2,235 new
listings were added, but showing a decrease
of 19 per cent from June 2008, when 2,787
new listings came to the market. Calgary
metro condominium new listings added
in June 2009 were 927, down 7 per cent
from May 2009, when the MLS® saw 998
condo listings coming to the market. This is
a decrease of 25 per cent from June 2008,
when condominium listings were 1,234.
The median price of a single family Calgary
metro home in June 2009 was $399,000,
showing an increase of 2 per cent from May
2009, when the median price was $390,000,
and down 2 per cent from June 2008, when
the median price was $408,000. The
median price of a condominium in June
2009 was $265,500, up 4 per cent from May
2009, when the median was $255,000, and
down 6 per cent from June 2008, when the
median price was $282,000. All Calgary
metro MLS® statistics include properties
listed and sold only within Calgary’s city
limits. The median price is the price that is
midway between the least expensive and
most expensive home sold in an area during
a given period of time. During that time,
half the buyers bought homes that cost
more than the median price and half bought
homes for less than the median price.
“We are encouraged by this upward trend
in sales but there are still some economic
fundamentals needed before we will see a
full recovery in the housing market,” added
Wegerich. “A rebound in employment and
oil prices will have a significant impact
on the housing market in Calgary—we
expect this won’t fully take effect until the
beginning of 2010.”
