Home sales in Calgary fell 16.4 per cent in August compared with the same month last year as prices also fell overall.
The Calgary Real Estate Board says 1,660 homes changed hands last month, as the residential benchmark price fell 1.1 per cent to $569,800.
The board’s chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie said while sales have been growing in the upper end of the market thanks to improved supply, Calgary has “not seen the same pickup in activity in the lower price ranges, as favourable rental conditions are slowing the transition to ownership.”
