The Calgary Real Estate Board stats are out for the month of October, and it seems that there are still many questions to be answered when it comes to Real Estate in the Calgary market.
Although some homes are selling, the news isn’t all great for sellers. It strongly reinforces the fact that it remains a buyers market. Right now is a great time to buy a new home for these reasons:
- interest rates will be going up(it looks like they could go up again before the end of the year)
- the market is flooded with listings, and there are many great options for buyers
- there are alot of motivated sellers right now
- the market is slowing down as we head into the winter months
Here are some details from CREB’s October Report:

- 829 homes sold in October
