City of Calgary, October 1, 2020 –

September sales activity jumped to 1,702 units, the strongest September total since 2014.

New listings in September improved over last month, but levels remained comparable to the previous year. The increase in sales relative to new listings did prevent any monthly gains in inventory levels, but supply in the market is still down 12 per cent compared to last year.

"The recent rise in new listings, combined with low lending rates and softness in prices, has helped support some of the recent upward trend in sales," said CREB® chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie.

"However, conditions vary significantly based on the price range and property type."

The adjustment in supply relative to demand has caused the housing…

Helpful Programs First-Time Buyers Main Image

Are you looking to buy your first home but struggling to come up with a down payment? These first-time buyer programs can help.

CMHC Mortgage Default Insurance

Admittedly, mortgage default insurance isn’t a “program” per se, but it is beneficial for helping first-time buyers realize their dream of home ownership. To purchase a home in Canada, you’ll require a minimum down payment of 5% on the home’s overall purchase price. Buyers with a down payment of 19.99% or less will be required to purchase mortgage default insurance, which protects the lender in the event you, the borrower, default on your mortgage loan.
