Calgary’s resale housing market had its worst September in five years as continued low oil prices limit confidence in the market.
The Calgary Real Estate Board recorded 1,448 sales in September, a decline of 32.4 per cent from a year ago. The average sale price was $457,658, down nearly six per cent and the biggest year-over-year drop this year. The median sale price for September was flat at $425,000. New listings were down 4.9 per cent to 3,081, while active listings were 21.2 per cent higher, at 5,526.
Robert Hogue, senior economist with RBC Economics, said low oil prices and resulting layoffs in the energy sector have affected home sales.
“I think the bad news on the job front will impact the housing market,” he said. “I’m not sure it’s going to be the same kind of hit we saw earlier this year. I think it was a bit of an element of surprise at the time because suddenly in December and early January oil prices fell quite precipitously.”
