Calgary has always been a boom bust economy. If you can stay within the midline and track the trends you can avoid panic buy sell behaviour. Median over the long term is steady growth. This has always been the case.

Thanks.

Great insights. Thanks. I have noticed in Marda Loop some new listings have been owned only for 2-3 years. I was thinking maybe these are people who move from TO and VAN and now want to use their property appreciation and move back to buy something there. I could be wrong though

@ChamberlainGroup

Could be… however our appreciation here may not be enough to justify going back. We’ve had a few clients move here and a couple of years later are relocated, there could be that but truthfully there are so many reasons why people move.

I wonder if another factor of the slow down could be the “Blanket Rezoning” that was passed. In areas where there’s older homes beside the home you want to purchase, do you take the chance your neighbour sells their home and a taller more unit home(s) is built beside you. Something to think about.

@busyone607

But in that case you may not be able to buy in most of the city as a very large number of the communities are part of this rezoning thing, though obviously older communities are more prone to be more attractive to the investors.

Calgary market will keep going strong probably at a slightly slower rate. Few facts below 1. Calgary suffered severe downturn since 2014 ( and commercial properties are still groggy). 2. Calgary real estate market just started recovering since 2021. And there is tons of room to go higher up considering inflation, land value in general, weak CAD, interprovincial migration and such. 3. Calgary is the only Canadian city which can offer the exact same lifestyle as Denver CO & Salt Lake City UT. 4. A 2nd oil boom has just started due to politics among U.S, Russia, Saudi and Euro. And Calgary & Edmonton are oil cities like Houston & Dallas in Texas.

@@blackbirdbeatle If you have to commute from Port Hope ON to downtown Toronto. If you have to commute from Abbotsford to downtown Vancouver, and you see the real estate price in Calgary (I mention these two places because the home price are quite similar to Calgary) it can make people quite amazed by the inflated prices there. I know there are many people commuting because the HWY 401 and the HWY 1 are always traffic jammed. I don’t think there would be too much attractive jobs there in Abbotsford nor Port Hope. I would bet Calgary would still have better jobs if you are in the skilled trades or if licensed. It’s all about credentials and being able to have the referrals. I have confidence that Calgary will continue the upward trend into next year at least, now that developers need to convert houses into multiple units. There is no way a graduate from UBC nor UofT can succeed unless they inherit from their parents in those cities now. Having said that, coming back to Calgary, there aren’t enough property land left in Calgary unless investors start buying the house lots for multiple units. It’s going to be very time consuming to get through all the hurdles including permits and stuff. That was what drove land prices in Toronto and Vancouver. I expect the same happening in Calgary.

Thanks for the video, very interesting. However, how is the number of showings a leading indicator, it is literally a lagging indicator. The number of showing already happened, it is past information, this is a lagging indicator. New home starts would be a leading indicator for the potential number of home that will hit the market in the future.

@barettmac

@@ChamberlainGroup My argument was that showings are a lagging indicator, not a forward indicator. Of course new homes don't enter the resale marker for a while, however the number of new homes greatly effects the supply of housing on the market. If the market is flooded with new homes, this will decrease the showings for resale, as many new buyers would purchase new homes. My point was that new home starts is a leading indicator, it represents a portion of the future increase of supply in the housing market. If new home starts skyrocket, we would expect to see the housing market level off in the future due to the increased supply.

What about the properties getting removed and all data wiped and listed at a new lower price and then it says it sold in 7 days like example 2039 5th ave was listed at 1.1 relisted at 999k after a month and it says it sold within days. Not all data is accurate

Great thought. You can see days on market and collective days(CDOM) on market on the backend. CDOM will show the total days on market when agents do this tactic removing and putting back on.

Long weekend, kids now out of school and a lot of people on vacation.

Many of the homes in Calgary have been via investors from other provinces. Seen many posting sell from 2021-2022. I suspect we are at the peak after 12% gains per year for the past 4 years. Essentially 50% since 2020. Which is not sustainable.

@@ChamberlainGroup actually no clue on time line but bigger then anything we seen . Mostly I think rates will be higher more than lower until 2042 . Looking a cynical stuff. Money could become valuable .

People are waiting for rates to drop more before buying. In a counter intuitive way, the rate drop has slowed things down, as buyers know waiting may open up better options for them. I think it’s also just normal post spring slow down.

The problem is over priced homes that are a complete rip off. When you see a small house for 650 000 in marlborough for example, of course no one is going to buy. You can find a nice detached house south for that same price. Sone sellers are absolutely ridiculous in over pricing there garbage properties in undesirable neighborhoods thinking they will get a sucker who is desperate. The truth is the good houses still sell quick with multiple offers. But the ones that are over 100k worth what they should be? They will sit. People are not that desperate and stupid to purchase rip off deals and there is a lot of them in the market 10 or even 20 percent over priced.
