The Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB) released sales statistics for November 2011 today. Sales in 2011 have been stronger than last year – an 8% rise in home sales and condos up 5% over the same time in 2010.

Stable Pricing Providing Opportunities for Buyers

Calgary, December 1, 2011 – According to figures released today by CREB® (Calgary Real Estate Board), Calgary residential sales in November increased eight per cent over last year, at 17,538 after the first 11 months of the year.

While sales activity tends to taper off in the winter months, so far this year Calgary area sales remain significantly stronger than levels recorded last year. Single family home sales totaled 962 for the month, an increase of eight per cent from November 2010. Meanwhile, year-to-date sales totaled 12,464, a 10 per cent increase over last year. Over the long term, however, sales remained a tepid 17 per cent below the 10 year average.

“Despite any global economic cautions, consumers are actively seeking well priced listings in the market, a reflection of their positive long term outlook for the city,” says Sano Stante, president of CREB®. “Following two years of employment losses, the current growth in jobs is translating into improvements in the housing sector and a more optimistic consumer.”

November listings have edged down over last year’s levels, decreasing by two per cent. Lower listings combined with the increase in sales helped reduce the months of inventory to less than four months.

The year-to-date average and median price of single family homes were a respective $467,140 and $406,500. Overall, prices remain relatively flat compared to last year. 

“This stable pricing provides an opportunity for buyers in our market. The addition of historically low interest rates, combined with a good selection of inventory, makes it a trifecta,” Stante says. “With positive wage growth in the wind, this is a signal, and a reminder, that this market opportunity will not remain forever.”

Condominium sales for the first 11 months of the year totaled 5,074, a five per cent rise over the same period last year. Inventory levels declined to 1,676 units, helping push down the months of supply.

“The rise in condominium sales can be attributed to the confidence in the market, and is typical of this phase of a normal market recovery,” says Stante.

Condominium year-to-date average and median prices in 2011 were $287,545 and $261,500, respectively, a decline over the first 11 months of 2010, mostly due to increased sales in units priced under $200,000.

“Calgary continues to record impressive employment growth and long term fundamentals remain strong,” Stante concludes. ”The strength in our economy, combined with affordability levels that outperform most major centers, will continue to attract migrants to the city and spur further growth in our Calgary housing market.”

Calgary Real Estate News – November 11, 2011

Go to Calgary Real Estate Blog

I’m excited to announce that I am running for election to the Calgary Real Estate Board Charitable Foundation Board of Governors!

The election runs from November 9 to the end of the month and is open to votes from all CREB members.

I’ve included my bio:

As a Governor of the Charitable Foundation, my main objective will be to enhance the awareness and visibility of the Charitable Foundation to both the members of the Calgary Real Estate Board and, just as importantly, the general population of Calgary.

ince 2003, I have been a member of the Calgary Real Estate Board as a fulltime Realtor with RE/MAX First . I am currently a member of the CREB Technology Task Force and in my second year with the Forecast Conference and Tradeshow Task Force.

This year, I had the privilege of being invited to be a member of the Charitable Foundation’s Funds Allocation Task Force, the purpose of which is to identify and recommend funding opportunities that are aligned with the Foundation’s values, mission and strategic plan. This unique view of the Charitable Foundation was inspiring – I’m extremely proud of the donations that we are able to make in the community. I am also aware that there are many aspects of the Foundation that are not well known to CREB members.

Our members do a lot of volunteer work but not everything falls into the category of “shelter related”. I am interested in exploring ways that charities close to the hearts of Calgary Realtors could become associated with the Charitable Foundation.

I am a proud supporter of both the Children’s Miracle Network and Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation’s Yard Sale For the Cure.

I would be honoured to represent you on the Board of Governors for the Charitable Foundation and appreciate your vote!

Please feel free to call or email me with any questions you have.

My cell number is (403)852-4222 and my email is jeff@mikolajow.com.

Kelowna, BC (November 7, 2011) – Billions spent in new construction, renovation, and infill over the past decade have contributed to a serious upswing in the calibre of Canada’s housing stock, propping up residential average price in the country’s major centres, according to a report released today by RE/MAX.

Several Calgary Communities Get a Boost in Sales and Price

Calgary, November 1, 2011 – According to figures released today by CREB® (Calgary Real Estate Board), Calgary residential sales totaled 16,184 after the first 10 months of the year, an increase of eight per cent over last year.  

Over 61 per cent of Calgary’s established communities saw increased sales levels compared to last year.  Garrison Woods, Collingwood and Mahogany saw the largest sales increase at 170 per cent combined; nearly half of all Calgary communities recorded price increases, with Shaganappi, Chinook Park and Downtown leading the way with a combined average price increase of 55 per cent.   

“A boost in full time jobs throughout the year is gradually translating into improved sales in the real estate sector,” says Sano Stante, president of CREB®. “Consumers are taking advantage of price stability and a healthy variety of selection.  While these gains are moderate, we are set to outpace 2010 sales.”

Single family home sales totaled 988 for the month of October 2011, an 11 per cent increase over October 2010, but continue to remain well below historical levels.  Year-to-date sales totaled 11,503, a 10 per cent increase over last year. 

October listings have edged upwards over last year’s levels, increasing by nearly two per cent, but year-to-date there are six per cent less listings than levels recorded last year. 

“Consumers are feeling more confident about the local real estate market,” adds Stante.

The average price of single family homes for the month of October 2011 was $455,399, while the median price was $395,000, an increase of two per cent compared to last year. This is primarily due to the rise in the number of luxury homes sales.  Despite the monthly price increase, however, year-to-date figures remained stable at levels comparable to the previous year. 

Condominium sales for the first 10 months of the year totaled 4,681, a three per cent rise over the same period last year.  Inventory levels remained at 1,935 units, resulting in months of supply pushing above five months. 

“The condominium market has significantly tightened compared to last year, however, moving into winter, we expect to see a rise in months of supply,” Stante says.

Condominium year-to-date average and median prices in 2011 were $288,736 and $262,500, respectively, a slight decline over the first 10 months of 2010. The decline is mostly due to increased sales in units priced under $200,000. 

“Overall, the resale housing market continues to show signs of improvement and, with no near term change in interest rates, we can expect the market will continue to see moderate and stable growth throughout the rest of the year,” Stante concludes.
