This month we are dissecting how Calgary's residential market, along with the surrounding areas: Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere, and Okotoks, are coming out of the gate in 2021. We dive into how different styles of homes: Single Family, Semi-Attached, Row and Apartment, are doing year over year and look at what districts are performing and which are not. We also talk about economic variables that may help or hinder the recovery in Calgary and Alberta's economy. (Oil cresting over $60/barrel, interest rates under 1.4%, drop in inventory levels, potential job losses with increased M&A, first time buyers, long term change of working from home, and government support.)

Calgary's Real Estate performance increased sales for the second half and almost offset initial sluggish sales from the first half of 2020. Three variables:

Calgary's Residential Real Estate Market performance in the second half: an increase in sales just about offset the initial impact to the start of the year. Interest rates are low, reductions in supply and home prices are still below the long term average, all leading to balanced market conditions and a seller's market in some areas. Detached sales were strong, with over 10,000 sales in Calgary. The semi-detached market has sales and lack of supply is starting to affect home prices. The biggest surprise was the apartment sector. The best month in sales since 2014, but still 10% off pace since the beginning of the year. Outside of Calgary, Airdrie, Chestermere, Cochrane and Okotoks all have very low inventory levels, and have seen an increase in home prices across the board. Thinking about making a move, be sure to call us for the inside track on the style of home and community activity to ensure you maximize your value. ...
