CALGARY - Activity in Calgary’s residential MLS market picked up in September after a number of months where demand for housing was cooling.

But year-over-year sales remain down.

According to the Calgary Real Estate Board, which released official MLS data today, MLS sales on a year-over-year basis were down in September for the fifth consecutive month.

However, the board also reported that single-family home sales during the month broke a string of five consecutive month-over-month declines and the condo market ended a streak of four straight monthly declines.

In September, there were 958 MLS single-family home sales in Calgary for an average price of $460,278, up from 867 sales and an average price of $445,617 in August. In September 2009, there were 1,257 sales at an average of $459,085.

There were 366 condos sales in September, up from 364 in August, but down from 580 in September 2009. The average sale price in September was $284,028, down from $286,384 the previous month and $290,253 a year ago.

“There are signs that September may mark a gradual, if not slight, uptick for Calgary’s housing market - we are seeing modest improvement since the market’s decline, that really started in April of this year,” said CREB president Diane Scott.
