Growth in new listings outpace sales growth in July, supporting double-digit inventory gains

Residential sales this month totaled 2,336 units, a record level for July activity. However, year-over-year sales growth slowed to 3.18 per cent.

"While July's sales growth seems like a dramatic departure from the double-digit gains recorded in the first half of this year, it is in comparison to exceptionally strong sales during the same period last year," said CREB® chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie, noting July sales this year are nearly 19 per cent above long-term averages for the month.

New listings in July totaled 3,219 units, an 18 per cent increase over the previous year. The rise outpaced sales growth during…

Sales improve as consumers have more choice
City-wide price gains and better weather support year-over-year gains in new listings

Calgary, June 2, 2014 – Residential sales in the city of Calgary totaled 2,948 units in May, a 16 per cent increase over the previous year. Sales last month were well above long-term trends and are the highest May activity on record.

"Strong sales activity is a reflection of improving fundamental conditions such as a growing population, favourable lending rates and rising wages," says CREB® chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie.

New residential listings in April totaled 3,754 units, an eight per cent increase over the previous year. Meanwhile sales activity totaled 2,545 units for the month, a seven per cent increase over April 2013.

calgary_real_property_report

A while back, we answered some basic questions about Real Property Reports in Calgary. Like many services in Calgary, the cost of an RPR has risen for 2014 but the fact remains - an updated real property report with compliance is as important as ever to facilitate a successful real estate transaction.
