Calgary most expensive homes November 2024

The Calgary Real Estate Board says home sales in October were largely flat compared to last year’s levels, but remained about a quarter above long-term trends for the month.

The board says 2,174 homes changed hands last month, which was 0.2 percent higher than October 2023, as sales gains for homes priced above $600,000 offset declines at the lower end of the market. On a monthly basis, home sales increased by 8.6 percent compared to September.

The benchmark price for all home types was $592,500 for October, about 0.7 percent lower than the previous month but 4.5 percent higher than October 2023.

Last month there were 3,264 new listings on the market, 21.6 percent more than a year earlier.

Ann-Marie Lurie, chief economist at CREB, says housing demand has remained relatively strong in the market, but there would likely have been more activity if there had been more supply choices for cheaper housing.

The board says inventory levels stood at 4,966 units in October, a 55 percent gain over last year as almost half of those were priced above $600,000.
