Calgary Real Estate Market Update

I want to continually educate my clients in order for them to make the best real estate decisions possible. Because of this, I have prepared a market analysis for the Calgary real estate market.As many of you may know, when homes come onto the market in Calgary they tend to sell quickly and the numbers I'm looking at prove that.

• Sales are up by 15-18% compared to last year.

• The average sale price for Calgary homes increased by 8-10% from last year.

Three factors that are influencing the market here are:

• A strong inflow of people moving to Calgary over the last few years.
• Really good employment rate here in Calgary
• Very tight rental market.

With that being said, here's my advice to Calgary home buyers: Do your homework before you start looking for properties; know what you can afford, and hire a professional who knows what you're looking for.

If you're selling a home in Calgary: Do your homework to come up with an accurate home price. You will probably need to hire a real estate agent to do this so that you can get the best price for your home, and to ensure that it does not sit on the market and lose value.

Hopefully all of this information has been valuable to you. If you have any further questions about the Calgary real estate market, please give me a call or send me an email. I am always here to help!
