"While the volume of sales was down, the average selling price sky rocketed to $384,000 compared to $333,000 in January of 2013.” stated RE/MAX Rocky View Real Estate REALTOR® Matt Carre. “Last month’s average sale price also set an all time high breaking August 2007’s average sale price of $381,000.”
In Calgary the average overall residential sale price had a nice gain in January up to $462,000 compared to $454,000 in December. For Airdrie the average sale price rose by 12% from $343,000 in December.

“While 2014’s sales activity did not start with a bang, it was not unusual with January being a slower month as many consumers wait for a more robust spring market. Still of note however, is the low number of homes currently listed on the MLS® which is continuing to put pressure on buyers and driving prices up even higher.”
The City of Airdrie has not yet posted housing starts for the month of January. We will post them next month.
These statistics were compiled by Matt Carre, a REALTOR® with The Carre Group of RE/MAX Rocky View Real Estate.
