Calgary Housing More Affordable

According to a report released by RBC, the Calgary housing market has experienced steady activity in the third quarter, and improving trend in affordability. The Housing Trends and Affordability Report by RBC Economics illustrates that despite slower markets elsewhere in Canada, Calgary’s market has seen a resurgence in home sales activity and overall looks positive.

“A significant pickup in resales during the first half of the year considerably tightened Calgary’s market conditions, which may eventually lead to stronger upward pressure on home prices in the city,” said Craig Wright, senior vice-president and chief economist with RBC, in the report.
