Real Estate Forecast Calgary 2014

December 19, 2013 By Ariette

Calgary-real-estate-forecast-2014

With 2014 approaching,  the Calgary Real Estate Board announces its  real estate forecast of Calgary for 2014.

More growth is expected in 2014 in the housing market in Calgary. Sales and prices will go up, said CREB, while preparing their annual housing forecast.

Ann-Marie Lurie, CREB’s chief economist expects sales growth to be 3.6 per cent. Price growth is expected to increase 4.3 percent. “Strong migration levels over the past two years have combined with strong employment and wage growth to support further gains in sales next year.  Both sales and price growth exceeded our expectations in 2013. Stronger than expected demand was related to higher than expected migration and employment growth, while the tight rental market got tighter following the floods. Meanwhile, supply levels didn’t keep pace with rising demand, which pushed the market to favour sellers and created stronger than expected price growth,” says Lurie.

President of CREB®’s board of directors Becky Walters said: “While growth levels will ease from the double digit levels recorded this year, activity will remain above long term trends for the city. The price growth in the market has also encouraged growth in new listings. As of November, the citywide benchmark price totaled $424,600, pushing above unadjusted previous highs,” she said.  “While not all communities have seen full price recovery, rising prices and tight market conditions have encouraged sellers to list their home.”

Economic conditions continue to remain favorable in 2014, said Lurie. Tight market conditions will likely persist over the near term, but rising listings and increased competition from the new home sector should alleviate supply pressure and push the market toward more balanced conditions in the later part of 2014.

“This combined with potential increases in long term lending rates should take some of the steam off the exceptionally strong price growth of eight per cent, which we’ve recorded so far this year,” said Lurie.

While growth is expected in 2014, said Lurie, there is considerable risk in the energy sector.

“If market access issues persist for the energy sector, and further softening in global economic conditions continue, it would likely impact investment activity and employment opportunities,” said Lurie. “This affects confidence and ultimately housing demand. However, if there’s positive progress made regarding market access, it could boost consumer confidence and support stronger than expected housing growth.”
