Calgary Herald April 23, 2012
Just over three weeks into April and it appears Calgary’s housing market has seen a resurgence of activity this spring.
A boom perhaps?
According to the Calgary Real Estate Board, MLS sales in all housing categories are noticeably up compared with last year.
From April 1-22, single-family sales of 1,108 transactions are up 26.05 per cent from the same period a year ago but the average sale price has dipped by 0.43 per cent to $481,423.
The condo apartment category has seen sales grow year-over-year by 14.91 per cent to 262 units while the average price has dropped by 2.83 per cent to $269,046.
And in the condo townhouse sector, sales of 198 are up 15.79 per cent from last year and the average price has risen by 6.46 per cent to $319,140.
