City of Calgary, November 1, 2019 – Sales activity in October improved by nearly 10 per cent compared to last year, driven mostly by improvements for apartment and attached product. New listings also eased, which helped reduce inventor y levels and the oversupply in the market. Despite the move to more balanced conditions, the market remains oversupplied and prices continue to remain below last year ’s levels. “Employment has shifted in the city, with job growth occurring in our non- traditional sectors and often at a different pay scale. This is consistent with the shift to more affordable housing product,” said CREB ® chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie. This is a market where signs of improvement are not consistent across all product types and price ranges. Improvements in sales are occurring in the lower price ranges across all product types. This is not yet translating into price shifts, as persistently elevated supply levels continue to place downward pressure on prices. As of October, citywide unadjusted benchmark prices were $422,900, just below last month’s levels and two per cent lower than last year ’s levels.
