Calgary Condo Market Stats

Admin-VA — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 02:19:02 +0000

February 20, 2012

Let’s take a look at the real estate market and specifically the condo market. Currently there are 96 sales pending in the market overall, leaving 1605 listings still for sale. The resulting pending ratio is 5.6% (96 divided by 1,701). So you might be asking yourself, that’s great… but what exactly does it mean? I’m glad you asked!

The pending ratio indicates the supply & demand of the market. Specifically, a high ratio means that listings are in demand and quickly going to contract. Alternatively, a low ratio means there are not enough qualified buyers for the existing supply.

“Current inventory is described as somewhat slow.”

Taking a closer look, we notice that the $250K – $300K price range has a relatively large number of contracts pending sale.

We also notice that the $250K – $300K price range has a relatively large inventory of properties for sale at 354 listings. The average list price (or asking price) for all properties in this market is $331,495.

A total of 2272 contracts have closed in the last 6 months with an average sold price of $282,949. Breaking it down, we notice that the $200K – $250K price range contains the highest number of sold listings.

Alternatively, a total of 2314 listings have failed to sell in that same period of time. Listings may fail to sell for many reasons such as being priced too high, having been inadequately marketed, the property was in poor condition, or perhaps the owner had second thoughts about selling at this particular time. The $250K – $300K price range has the highest number of off-market listings at 521 properties.

Calgary Real Estate News

For the first time in two decades, the number of people living on Calgary streets has dropped, a stunning turnaround for a city – once dubbed “bum heaven” – that has officials crediting an ambitious 10-year strategy to end homelessness.

When the 2012 homeless count was conducted on a frigid night last month, 3,190 people were either sleeping on the streets, in shelters or in short-term housing, marking an 11.4-per-cent decline since the last tally in 2008. Want to read more in depth on this article? Just click the link below.
