Calgary Listing
Inventory: Inventory levels for Both Single Family homes and Condo’s stayed very flat this month. This is generally a good number however with sales levels it would balance the market a little more if our inventory dropped slightly.

Calgary Real Estate
Sales Prices: Median prices for Single Family homes decreased by $6,749 and condo’s decreased by $14,000 in August. To me this is not alarming as the direction is not a trend. We seem to bounce up and down every month but overall prices are remaining fairly stable.
| Sales Prices | July Median Prices |
August 2011 | Change |
| Single Family Homes | $409,000 | $402,251 | ($6749) |
| Condo’s | $269,000 | $255,000 | ($14,000) |
Overall we are still in a buyer’s market – this month we moved slightly more in favour of buyers as our inventory stayed flat while sales did show a slight decrease therefore increasing our absorption rate.
