January Market Report

2012-02-02T14:42:00Z

The City of Calgary residential market recorded 1,078 sales in January, nearly one per cent below the same month in 2011. This is in part related to the drop in new listings, which declined by 8 per cent over January 2011, causing inventory levels to continue to contract over 2011.

“A lower number of sales is not uncommon for the month of January,” says Jablonski. “The number of sales is offset by the number of listings, ultimately pushing the housing market towards a balanced market territory.”

The single-family market recorded a one-per-cent drop in sales over last year levels, while the condominium market recorded a one-per-cent gain. However, the decline in new listings in the single-family market was much higher than the condominium market, with a year-over-year decline of 11 per cent and 6 per cent, respectively.

“As presented in our housing forecast report, a slow start to the year is anticipated, as consumers continue to be cautiously optimistic regarding purchasing and/or listing their home,” says Jablonski.

The average price of single-family homes in January 2012 was $438,683, a 3-per-cent drop over last year, and over December 2011. Meanwhile, median prices in the single-family market remain relatively stable over last month at $395,000, while posting a 1-per-cent gain over the previous year.

“The price changes are related to the composition of what was sold. The rise in the median price was likely due to the increase in the number of homes sold in the $450,000-$549,999 category, as this category recorded a significant jump in activity in January. The decline in average price is due to the rise in sales in the under-$300,000 category, as well as the decline in the number of homes sold in the upper-price ranges,” Jablonski explains.

The condominium market continues to favor the buyer; however, this market is trending towards balance. The average and median price of condominiums for the month of January 2012 were $268,526 and $245,000, respectively. This corresponds to a 7-per-cent decline in average prices and a 4-per-cent decline in median prices.

“Last January, there was a significant jump in sales in both the $600,000+ price range and the under-$200,000 price range in condominiums. For January 2012, while sales under $200,000 remain strong, there has been an increase in activity in the $200,000-$299,999 price range, mostly at the expense of the condominiums priced above $400,000. This explains the significant decline in condominium prices,” Jablonski concludes.

Sarah Burke

Sarah Burke died of her injuries Thursday - what a vibrant young woman. Who had accomplished so much in her 29 years.

Donations are being accepted for the $500K medical bills left

Closer to home she lived just a few minutes away in Balzac. Married to Rory Bushfield, a well known name in our area.

Such a tragic loss, and my deepest sympathy to her family and friends.

EXPENSIVE CHRISTMAS TREE

2011-12-21T15:48:00Z

Christmas Tree aficionados might want to keep their ears open for this year's news about the

Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. Even though the area is predominantly Muslim, the hotel decorates a Christmas Tree each December.

Their 2011 effort was the most spectacular yet. With a price tag of $11 million, the 40-foot tree was draped with millions of dollars worth of jewelry. However, there was some concern that the hotel had gone too far with flashy way of bringing good cheer. Some think the overly - decorated tree was actually in poor taste.

NOW that's some tree.

I normally look far and wide for listings that catch my eye.

Bringing Value to any potential buyer - who may wish to purchase a home.

I found a great apartment for sale in Airdrie. Starting at $145,000 with a parking stall. For someone just starting out this is a great deal. There are more Great values out there.

There are some foreclosure apartments for sale in Airdrie right now - however my thoughts would be to run. Not only may there be possible structure issues, but also a low reserve fund. Meaning a potential "special assessment" coming down the road. I would suggest to do research, and ensure you make the best decision before moving forward.

Experience matters - Call for all your REAL ESTATE NEEDS.
