Calgary Real Estate Market Update – July 2024

With the busy spring market behind us, we are starting to see some shifts in supply levels. With 2,380 sales and 3,604 new listings, the sales-to-new listings ratio fell to 66 per cent, supporting a gain in inventory.

Total inventories rose to 4,158 units (still 33% below typical July), but is the first time they pushed above 4,000 units in two years. Majority of supply coming from homes listed over $600,000. This shift has moves us slowly away from an extreme sellers' market earlier this year.

There still continues to be enormous demand for properties under $600,000. Summer months are typically slower (folks on holidays, enjoying summer), so this trend is the norm. Slower sales have however increased supply to 1.8 months, but still remains a sellers' market (for buyers this is a STRONG sign to push now, take advantage of the opportunity heading into the Fall and the BoC announcement in September)

Bank of Canada CUTS Interest Rates AGAIN

Here we are -- as widely expected by economist, the Bank of Canada CUT is policy rate today to 4.50% (from 4.75%), as Canadians struggle with debt loads and a slowing economy across the country. 

This represents the second cut in rates since the announcement one month ago, which BoC Head, Tiff Macklem indicated a gradual pace of rate relief going forward last meeting, basing it's decision on inflation and GDP results. Today's announcement also provided potential FURTHER CUTS, if inflation continues to ease throughout this year (Article).

Based on MNP's Consumer Debt Index, Canadians are not feeling good about their debt loads, with 2/3 of the surveyed said they desperately need interest rates to go down.

For home owners, those who have a variable rate mortgage stand to benefit from a interest rate cut (rate-adjusted or full variable - if you don't know the different just ask me!). However, fixed-rate mortgages are tied to the Canadian bond market, which have already priced in future cuts.

Below is the key metric the Bank of Canada assesses for adjustments in the bank rate:

Here's how Calgary's real estate prices have performed since 2019, with prices of detached homes:

For my clients, we expect likely an uptick in activity in the fall off the back of this announcement. Heading into the winter months, there's typically fewer listings, and with a rate cut (increasing buying power for many), we expect a fairly busy season ahead

I'd suggest for buyers, to prepare and try to get a sense of what you'd like to get into well ahead of the fall season if you're serious. 

Again, feel free to reach out if you have any questions, or want to chat in detail about the possible avenues of how we can help!
