Mel Star Calgary Real Estate Market Report: June 2019

June Trends

The month of June did not bring a lot of significant changes in the market and has behaved as expected. Here are some favorable trends: 

• Inventory levels continue to decline, meaning there were fewer new listings for June. Since there has been an over-supply of real-estate in recent months, this inventory decline could mean the market is slowly shifting towards a balance.
• Even though sales activity slowed this month, inventory levels decreased by 15% compared to this time last year.
• Detached Home sales have declined by nearly 9% since last year.
• According to CREB® chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie, inventory that is priced under $500,000 has been trending towards more balanced conditions.
• There is an oversupply of 4.2 months, meaning that the Calgary Real Estate Market is still favouring the buyer.
• Sales activity for Attached Homes has improved by approximately 3% compared to last year.

“So far, the housing market has generally behaved as expected this year. Sales activity remains just below last year’s levels, prices have eased and supply is starting to adjust to the lower level of sales,” said CREB® chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie.
