📊 October Market Report 📊
-
October sales activity slowed over the last month in alignment with typical seasonal patterns. However, with 2,171 sales, levels were 17 per cent higher than last year and amongst the highest levels reported for October. Sales activity has been boosted mainly through
gains in apartment condominium sales as consumers seek affordable housing
options during this period of high-interest rates.
-
New listings also improved this month compared to last year, reaching 2,684
units, reflecting the highest October levels reported since 2015. Despite the
gain, relatively strong sales prevented any significant shift in inventory levels,
which remain over 40 per cent lower than levels traditionally available in
October.
-
“Despite some recent improvements in new listings, supply levels remain
challenging in our market,” said CREB® Chief Economist Ann-Marie Lurie. It will
take some time to see a shift toward more balanced conditions and ultimately
more price stability.”
-
With a months of supply of one and a half months, we continue to experience
upward pressure on home prices. The unadjusted benchmark price in October
reached $571,600, a gain over last month and nearly 10 per cent higher than
last October.

📊 September Market Report 📊
-
Sales reached another record high in September with 2,441 sales. Despite the year-over-year gains reported over the past four months, year-to-date sales are still nearly 12 per cent lower than last year's levels. New listings also improved this month compared to last year and relative to sales. This caused the sales-to-new listings ratio to fall to 76 per cent, preventing further monthly declines in inventory levels.
 -
Nonetheless, inventory levels in September remained over 24 per cent lower than levels seen last year and, when measured relative to sales activity, has not changed enough to cause any significant shift in supply and demand balances. As of September, the months of supply has remained relatively low at less than two months.
 -
“Supply has been a challenge in our market as strong inter-provincial migration has elevated housing demand despite higher lending rates,” said CREB® Chief Economist Ann-Marie Lurie. “While new listings are improving, it has not been enough to take us out of sellers’ market conditions.” In September, the unadjusted residential benchmark price was $570,300, similar to last month and nearly nine per cent higher than last year.

The home was last listed on the MLS in May 2009 for $1,150,000 & sold in June 2009 for $1,050,000
-
The home was built on .36 acres in 1996 with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and 5,171 sqft. The MLS listing stated that the home was featured in the Homes Section on a two page spread of the Calgary Herald. From the time it was sold in 2006 to when it last sold in 2009, no upgrades had been done. I wonder if the current owners have made any changes to the property or are just basking in the 1990’s charm.

São Paulo, Brazil 🇧🇷
-
São Paulo, city, capital of São Paulo estado (state), southeastern Brazil. It is the foremost industrial centre in Latin America. The city is located on a plateau of the Brazilian Highlands extending inland from the Serra do Mar, which rises as part of the Great Escarpment only a short distance inland from the Atlantic Ocean.
-
The city itself sits in a shallow basin with low mountains to the west. It lies about 350 km southwest of Rio de Janeiro and about 50 km inland from its Atlantic Ocean port of Santos.
-
With one of the world’s fastest-growing metropolitan populations, São Paulo is also the largest city of the Southern Hemisphere. It is a dynamic late bloomer, having been heavily overshadowed by Rio de Janeiro not only during the colonial era but also throughout the 19th century. Only when coffee became Brazil’s vital export crop in the last decades of the 19th century did São Paulo become a major centre of economic activity with concomitant population growth.

✏️ Tip Tuesday ✏️
➖
Sellers, be flexible when it comes to home showings. The easier it is for potential home owners to view your home the more likely you are to find the right buyer for your home. If you’re worried about strangers walking through your home, remember the potential buyers always have to be accompanied by a licensed realtor to ensure nothing is stolen or broken.

📊 November Market Report 📊
-
Residential sales in the city slowed to 1,648 units, a year-over-year decline of 22 per cent, but 12 per cent above the 10-year average.
-
The pullback in sales over the past six months was not enough to erase gains from earlier in the year as year-to-date sales remain nearly 10 per cent above last year’s record high. The year-to-date sales growth has been driven by a surge in both apartment condominium and row sales.
-
“Easing sales have been driven mostly by declines in the detached sector of the market. Higher lending rates are impacting purchasers buying power and limited supply choice in the lower price ranges of the detached market is likely causing many purchasers to place buying decisions on hold.”
-
A decline in sales was met with a pullback in new listings and inventories fell to the lowest level reported in November since 2005. The pullback in both sales and new listings kept the months of supply relatively tight at below two months. The tightest conditions are occurring in the lower-price ranges as supply growth has mostly been driven by gains in the upper end of the market.
-
Despite the lower supply levels, prices have trended down from the peak reached in May of this year. Even with the adjustments that have occurred, November benchmark prices continue to remain nearly nine per cent higher than levels reported last year.

📊 October Market Report 📊
-
  October sales eased compared to last year’s levels, mostly due to slower activity in the detached sector.
-
However, with 1,857 sales this month, levels are still stronger than long-term trends and activity reported prior to the pandemic. Year-to-date sales have reached 26,823 and with only two months to go, 2022 will likely post a record year in terms of sales.
-
“Calgary hasn’t seen the same degree of pullback in housing sales like other parts of Canada, thanks to persistently strong demand for our higher density product,” said CREB® Chief Economist Ann-Marie Lurie. “While our city is not immune to the impact that inflation and higher rates are having, strong employment growth, positive migration flows and a stronger commodity market are helping offset some of that impact.”
-
New listings also trended down this month causing the sales-to-new-listings ratio to rise to 85 per cent and inventories to trend down. Much of the inventory decline has been driven by product priced below $500,000.
-
While conditions are not a tight as what was seen earlier in the year, with only two months of supply, conditions remain tighter than historical levels. We are also seeing divergent trends in the market with conditions continuing to favour the seller in the lower-price ranges and shifting to more balanced conditions in the upper-price ranges.
-
As of October, prices have eased by four per cent relative to the highs reached in May. This is considered a relatively small adjustment when considering price movements in other large cities. It is also important to note that the October benchmark price is still nearly 10 per cent higher than levels reported last year.

📊 September Market Report 📊
-
Strong sales for condominium apartment and row properties was not enough to offset declines reported for other property types. This caused city sales to ease by nearly 12 per cent compared to last year. However, with 1,901 sales in September, activity is still far stronger than levels achieved prior to the pandemic and is well above long-term trends for September. Despite recent pullbacks in sales and thanks to strong levels earlier in the year, year-to-date sales remain 15 per cent higher than last year’s levels.
-
“While demand is easing especially for higher priced detached and semi-detached product, purchasers are still active in the affordable segments of the market, cushioning much of the impact on sales,” said CREB® Chief Economist Ann-Marie Lurie. “At the same time, we are seeing new listings ease, preventing the market from becoming oversupplied and supporting more balanced conditions.”
-
In September, new listings declined by ten per cent. With a sales-to-new-listings ratio of 72 per cent it was enough to prevent any gain in inventory levels, which declined over last month and were nearly 21 per cent lower than last year’s levels. The adjustments in both sales and supply levels have caused the months of supply to remain relatively low at less than three months.
-
The shift to more balanced conditions is causing some adjustments to home prices. While prices have slid from the highs seen in May, as of September, benchmark prices remain 11 per cent higher than last year and six per cent higher than levels reported at the beginning of the year.
