Is it just me, or is it unbelievable how much real estate in Calgary has boomed in the last two years? I was talking to a friend at work who bought a house in Kincora a few years ago, and she remembers being blown away that the house cost over $200,000!!! Ahhh.... the good old days.
Market value might be high but right now peoiple are not buying like they were a year ago. Many houses are:

1 -Sitting on the market and not selling

or

2 - People are selling their homes still at a gain but taking much less than they list it for.

Only going to get worse for sellers if/when interest rates (mortgage rates) increase.
