All Calgary Metro MLS® statistics include properties listed and sold only within Calgary’s City limits.

“We experienced a slower market toward the end of December, which is expected during the holiday season, however, January has been a relatively good month for the resale market. This is the month when peoples lives are getting back on track, and consumers may be entertaining the idea of listing their home,” remarked CREB® President, Ed Jensen. “I think this first quarter of 2008 will pick up momentum, and I anticipate a more balanced and stabilized spring,” concluded, Jensen.
