What to Know About The Real Estate Market Calgary This Year?
1. Prices Will Be On An Upward Trend
Calgary home prices are rumoured to grow in 2024. National trends indicate a resurgence in property prices, reaching levels seen before the pandemic. Calgary is expected to align with the country’s average in this upward trajectory. At the end of 2023, homeowners and experts both saw steady growth in the price of homes. This trend is anticipated to continue throughout the new year. According to BNN Bloomberg, Calgary aggregate home prices are set to outpace all major markets in 2024, growing by 8%. Thus, reaching an average price of $711,612.
2. Demand is Going to Surge
With home prices going up in other provinces, Calgary is anticipating several move-over buyers to settle in. Even though costs are rising in the city itself, it remains more affordable than other major cities like Vancouver and Toronto. This combined with the opportunity for investors will equate to a year of high demand.
3. Potential for Lower Interest Rates in the Third and Fourth Quarters
Another item worth noting in this year’s market outlook is the change in interest rates. Experts are saying that rates should remain steady throughout the first half of 2024. Thus, allowing Canadians to adjust to the new normal. However, in the latter half of the year, there has been chatter about rates being cut modestly; potentially presenting more opportunities for residents to enter the market!
