I just bought a house in Okotoks. It was first listed in late January '09 at $489,900
It was on the market till late June which is when I bought it. At that time it was listed for $454,900. We offered $430,00 and they counter offered $440,000 which we accepted.
Its a very nice house (2100 sq ft plus a 1000 sq ft finished walk-out basement) in a very nice area, so I am really surprised it stayed on the market so long.

I think now is a good time to buy a house that is in the $450,000 + price range as they are competitively priced as they are not moving very quickly.... plus interest rates are pretty good too.
