Just a few comments on this month – These are my comments and my opinions. 

 It’s interesting how we are bucking the trend and October saw a stronger market in all Sectors.

 Current Months of Inventory (Absorption Rate): 

The good news is that we reversed what we lost in momentum last month. This month every sector saw a decline in the months of inventory (Absorption Rate) with the lowest decrease being Detached homes at -.39 and the largest with Attached Row homes at -.95.

Once again Detached homes moved into a balanced Market Position.

Calgary Listing Inventory

Calgary listing Inventory decreased in all sectors this month for a total of 396 listings less than one months ago. Typically, this is the trend we will see until the end of the year.

 Calgary Sales:

Sales for October increased over September sales.  Every sector increased a little for an increase of 76 sales over September.  While this in not a big number it is substantial as typically October sees less sales than September.

Sales Compared to 2018: 

October Sales compared to last year were 9.6% higher.

Last month we were 8.2% higher so this is a very good trend and hope it continues.

 Calgary Real Estate Sales Prices:

Prices for Detached homes, Attached Row Homes declined by $3,200 and $2,700 respectively.

Prices for Semi- detached remained flat while Apartment Condos increased by $2,600

Months of Inventory/Absorption Rate: What does this mean you might ask?

The inventory divided by the number of sales in the last month).
