Sales Compared to 2025:

Calgary Real Estate Benchmark Sales Prices:
The overall Benchmark price increased by $2000. All sectors were in positive territory except the Apartment Condo Sector which remains to struggle.
Current Months of Inventory (Absorption Rate):
The overall months of Inventory decreased by .03 in June. Detached homes and Attached Row homes saw a slight increase while the Semi-Detached and Apartment Condo sector saw a slight decrease.
My Prediction for what is ahead:
From here to the end of the year, we will see a decrease in the number of listings and a decrease in sales. This is a trend that happens every year as the summer brings vacations. The real estate will remain active just not quite as active as the last 6 months.
